I think this question may be more appropriate for
pgsql-novice@postgresql.org.

Anyrate for the below. Sounds like you maybe already have a table or
sequence called ai_id;

Try doing a DROP SEQUENCE ai_id;

First

Also if you plan to use this sequence only for this table it would be better
to use serial8 which will automatically create the sequence for you. Then
you don't even need that first part. Also you should avoid naming fields
things like Date which tend to be keywords in many kinds of databases.

Try changing your logic to something like

CREATE TABLE badusers (
id serial8,
UserName varchar(30),
Date timestamp DEFAULT now() NOT NULL,
Reason varchar(200),
Admin varchar(30) DEFAULT '-',
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

CREATE INDEX badusers_username
ON badusers
USING btree
(username);

CREATE INDEX badusers_date
ON badusers
USING btree
(date);

Reason varchar(200),
Admin varchar(30) DEFAULT '-',
PRIMARY KEY (id),
