I think it is reporting a game or whatever and having it removed, and the user banned.

On the games page, on the right-hand side, there is a dropdown box and submit button that make up the "report problem" panel. Right below the content age rating.

Ban contribution earns you GumPoints if the game ends up being removed for the reason you reported. It creates incentive for our users to accurately report bad games to us.

Can we have an area in the account control panel that tells us if we've earned any GumPoints from ban contributions? Just as a way to keep track of where our GumPoints are coming from?

You get a PM when a game is banned telling you about recieved points. We may in the future expand that to a list of some sort, but for now the PM system seems to make sense.
