What type of ban?

[Hulk's iconHulk]

Are you more likely to give out a permanent ban and completely get rid of the person or do a temporary one until they calm down?

For me if they deserve the ban they deserve it permanently unless they wish to appeal it.

Depends on what they did.

This, maybe?

or if they've been REALLY bad...

Banned is banned, I don't do "time outs", I'm not an online babysitter.

I've seen some sites that have a restricted forum like a jail where they put wrong doers, that could be amusing in certain cases.

Or people abusing a privilege could have that ability revoked without fully banning.

A permanent ban doesn't do a lot.....

It really depends on what they did. I used to do a short "time-out" if it's a small offense or if it's a person's first time committing an offense at all, but if it gets really bad, then yeah, permanent ban all the way.

A permanent ban in my opinion can either be issued for an indefinite period of time, which a user can be unbanned by staff discussion, or lifetime ban, which means the user is permanently banned and cannot be unbanned without discussion.
