If a new member joins the community and immediately begins to post ads all over the site, that person (or perhaps bot) has no intention of participating on the forum and the account will generally receive a permanent ban. If an existing member breaks some of our rules and continues to break those rules even after receiving friendly reminders from forum staff, their account may well receive a temporary ban. Once their account has become active again, if they continue to break our rules with disregard to our warnings, the account may receive a permanent ban.
Bans are a last result and are actually very rare and the vast majority of our members will never receive a ban, either temporary or permanent.
