Glad you asked!
Users get banned for wrong doings, such as using a duplicate accont or constantly voting stuff down. You might wonder, 'How do you keep them from the site? There are hackers around!'. We ban user using a code unique to every internet-connected device called an IP adress. Every computer, iPhone, etc. have an IP Addreess, and what we do is block the IP the accont uses. If the banned person tries to make another accont, the IP ban will block it. We also apply temporary bans for user who simply need a warning; or do not deseve a premantant ban yet.

Basically, you can stay off the ban list by following the Rules and staying out of trouble. Once you have read the above pages, you're good to go. The rules and getting banned are not ment to make you worry; just to keep the site secure from wrong-doers. The site has been the 'DramaBase' as times, and we do our best to keep that in the past.
So generally you get banned for being a brat to others, or breaking easy-to-follow rules.
Hope this was helpful to you ;)
