This just isn't true imo. Other than spammers I never just banned people cause I felt like it or it was their first time breaking rules 3.2 section iii so BANN. And quite honestly if a mod did ban someone this way, they can expect to see a thread in here about it the next day.
Maybe someone occasionally gets 'banned for first offense' but really they made 2 offenses, 1st they broke the rules, 2nd decided to be a royal dickhead to the cop who was going to let them off with a warning.
Not saying it is right or wrong in any specific case, but it should surely be expected assuming that after you see 'profile infraction warning' (or even 10 points which really isn't excessive in a lot of cases imo) that the **** is getting real.
