You have to work pretty hard to get banned. What usually happens is just short suspensions. A 24 hour suspension is what usually happens to those who have temporarily become just a little too worked up, or who think the
Forum Guidelines don't apply to them. Longer suspensions happen to those who are a bit more creative, such as the 4-week suspension handed out to Bolder-dash, who after losing his posting privileges in the
Biological Evolution forum posted his response to the
Report discussion problems here: No.2 thread, in essence saying, "Oh yeah? Well make me!" But actual banning, in essence a permanent suspension, is rare, though the spammers who show up here with regularity are almost always banned. Oh, and David Mabus, he gets banned immediately each time he creates a new account.
Concerning idiocy, this isn't against the
Forum Guidelines. EvC Forum is not here to protect you from idiocy, but rather to provide a venue for rational discussion where people can demonstrate just what is sense and what is nonsense. In other words, get to work.
