I'd say that even though banning isn't something which is done often on here, we do have a good amount of people who regulate what you're going to be able to do with your account and if you're going to be trusted. As most of the scams in the services, lending, etc (sections) are all painted red by the DT people to ensure that people know that they're not to be trusted.

Action isn't taken on banning too often, this is due to the fact (in my view) that we really don't have enough mods to be policing every section-- though default trust painting the scammers red does pick up a lot of the work for the staff team here. So I don't see the lack of bans as an issue IMO.

The forum policy for dealing with scammers and spammers is different. As you can see yourself, a scammer or potential scammer would be tagged accordingly by DT. But that does not mean they are going to be banned.

In other words Red Trust and Ban are mutually inclusive and not exclusive in all cases. They may be exclusive if both offences of scamming and breaking rules are there.

If you refresh it now, and then you'll soon see that there's hundreds of posts/users being dealt with every hour.

Honestly I am myself often at awe of the huge amount of work the mods are having to do - to nurse the diarrhoea of the forum shitposters who are spamming the threads to get paid.

I would disagree completely. I think I would only agree on there's not enough mods in certain areas of the forum. Other than that though there's a lot of moderation going on. You only have to look at the Modlog to verify this. If you refresh it now, and then you'll soon see that there's hundreds of posts/users being dealt with every hour.

Scams aren't moderated, and that's one of the reasons why the trust system was introduced. Note that this isn't limited to the DefaultTrust. I personally think too much emphasis is placed on those who are on the on the DefaultTrust. Anyone can leave a feedback.

Unless, you are breaking the rules that TheUltraElite stated, then it's likely you'll be giving multiple chances before any action is taken. Anything listed on the Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ could eventually result in a ban if breaking it more than once.

For example, if you are posting spam then depending on the spam you may only have a few of your posts deleted at first. This would result in you receiving a message in your personal messages stating so. You should take these as warnings.

should we have a process on how to ban members?

Members are banned for the following reasons listed according to my experience by the threads that pop up on Meta -
1. Plagiarising content. Which is mainly done for shitposting.
2. Not following the 1BUMP/24 hours rule
3. Someone incentivising post count increase on a certain thread.
4. In general breaking any rule of the forum as listed in the stickies of "Meta" on any other section of the forum.

Come to think of it. I myself also can't find if we have in place. Please provide links if there's any.
Search them yourself. It will be of some good use if you look out from you daily shitposting quota - a classic example of which is the post you made on this thread.
