So what are the reasons which leads to a permanent ban? And do users get warning prior to the ban telling them to stop doing whatever it is they're doing which could lead to a permanent ban?
Reasons for temp ban: forum spam, too much posts not related to topic, too much insubstancial posts, etc..
Reasons for perma ban: that being your second temporary ban, being a bot or acting like one, spread malware across the forum, try to compromise forum's security, and stuff like that
I would add to permaban reason list: copying text from other sites without mentioning the source.
