We were discussing this in our secret forum, actually.
If the 'offense' isn't too horrible, and past user behavior has been good, it might slide by, with or without a warning (depending).
Example: Kieron posts a spam thread. He gets a one-day ban because he does this way too often, among other things.
Sergeantkyle posts a spam thread. He gets a small warning because this happens a bit, but not eccessively and usually it's just trivial stuff.
