Maybe it was just to common and often, so no one really cared about that now, tired of reminding LOL

Usually, you only get infra-banned for swearing if you're using it as an insult.

Only happens when you extremely flame somebody though.
k, long post ahoy
The question was bannable offenses, so I shall fix some statements...

They will be banned.

You pretty much said it, but I shall repeat...

If it's just one insult to an other person, then it's pretty much an infraction.
But if it's heavy insulting, a ban will arrive.
This pretty much applies to every board.

In several boards, e.g. Beginner Sanctuary and Support, you get 2 - 3 warnings before an infraction because those boards most of the time tend to have beginners in it.
Of course if the person is not a beginner, then it'll just be 1 warning, and after that a 2 point infraction.
Probably an another infraction after the first one, and then comes ban.
In Market you'll get an infraction on the first illegal double post.

It depends what kind of an useless thread is it.
If it's just a newbie posting something that has been posted already, just a warning. Probably the same thing goes for non-newbies, too...
Suggestions board tends to have this, and I think there's no infractions given in there.
And of course Beginner Sanctuary and Support... Newbies don't usually search before they post. :v

But then when it's something like a random title and then just smiley spamming... I would say that gives you an infraction.
Even if it's a beginner.

If it's a flaming thread, then a ban.

There's a lot of possibilities for stuff like "useless post", "useless thread" etc....

If it's just smiley spamming, infraction.
If it's something like just "ok", then a warning.
If it's a post that doesn't relate to the current thread, but the poster says that he has his own problems... Then a warning if it's a beginner, infraction if it's not a beginner.

I'm not entirely sure about this, but when done repeatedly it's a ban.
If it's just once, it's either a warning or an infraction... I'm not sure.

All rules don't give you a ban if broken. :v

Pornography -> ban
bad words -> Nothing. People swear all the time.
Of course if it's aimed at an other person in a non-friendly way, then it's a ban, except if it's just one swear... That way it'll be an infraction.
Racism -> ban
Dirty jokes -> Nothing. Dirty jokes are told all the time.

What the hell is infra-ban?

Me neither.

I'm not absolutely sure that my every statement is 100 % true.

As stated, there's a lot of variables for stuff like "useless post/spam", "useless thread" etc. etc. etc., so if someone would make a post where was all infractions and bans, then... Well, I would say it would be many huge posts because of all those grey area stuff etc.

But I can say that Market is the place where almost everything gives you an infraction, no matter if you're a beginner or not. Remember to read the rules before posting there (warning: there's a lot of them)
Beginner Sanctuary and Support are the places where you get the least amount of infractions, because of the newbies.

Also, a way to find out what thing gives you a warning or infraction or a ban is to report a post that you think is against the rules, and then later you go to see what was done to that post.
Most of the time the moderators type a message like "This user was infracted for this post (reason)" with bolded and varying colored text.
Then you just can see what happens when you do that.

...Well, hopefully you all learned something from this. :v
