How many bans would you get until its a permanent ban? Like for a repeat offense.
We work case to case. You could be permanently banned before not even being warned, if you are severely breaking our TaC, for example with explicit pornography, or, in theory, continue on with several bans for necroing threads.
However, Cormyn have taken up a three hit policy, in most cases, which means you could get banned quite easily if you forget to read our rules.
But case to case seems to be the answer.
I'd just be annoyed at the mods/admins who banned me. :/
You shouldn't be, it is not our fault you can't behave or follow our rules.
Just saying.
I find the OP badly constructed, which is mirrored in how many regulars making two answers: One of an actual justified ban (Bummed), and one of lightening fast wtf banning without reason (outraged).
The latter should never be happening. If it does, report it to the staff (through email, unless you want to get in trouble if the banning was actually justified, but poorly written), and wait it out.
If you are permabanned that way, just assume you are not welcome. Or report it to the staff (through email) and wait it out.
Note that you in most, if not all cases, will know why you were banned, as a ban-message will follow the ban. However, at times mods are too busy, and will ban first, and write later, which means it will be a good idea to check back, if your ban message is blank.
Only users who will get a blank ban message is repeat offence ad-spammers and repeat offence account suiciders, and I think they fit in the "gtfo" category anyway.
On a further note, remember that if you make an alt account to circumvent a ban (justified or otherwise), you are breaking the rules and digging the hole deeper for yourself.
However, a little faith in us mods that we do such things because you deserve it (and have been warned about it several times already), or for your own good.
Otherwise you might end up looking stupid when evidence pile up. We will be sitting behind our screens laughing.
If I got banned? Unless it was an accident (like when Nemo dropped his banhammer on his own foot), or unjustified, I would probably mob about for a while, then enjoy the free time off.
Unless it was a perma, but what are the odds for that...
The end.
