I am a bit confused as to what the moderators actually desire most times, recently a friend was banned from posting messages even though he never posting an off-topic. So what are the things that can make someone get banned, and how does one get response to appeals? My friend is a newbie just like me.

Your friend may be caught doing plagiarism (copying and pasting texts from the Internet as it is in his posts here).
Your friend can create a topic in "meta" (only in meta or else he will be perma banned if he posts elsewhere) and he can ask about the reason for the ban. Generally he will get the answer there.
