As Koopa said, generally only vandals or frequently problematic and unpleasant users receive permanent bans. Usually there is a warning given to a user prior to them being blocked or permanently banned, and if they do not comply then a ban is applied. If a user refuses to follow administrator instructions or consistently commits minor offenses, they will usually receive a temporary block, which can range from a few days to a year depending on the offense and any previous blocks. Users who are clearly committing vandalism or are extremely hostile to other users can be instantly permanently banned without warning.
