    Spam, scamming and being a jerk in threads. Thats the only reasons I know of.

    If you don't obey the rules and regulations and if you spam around then this is the most important reason you will get banned :) Just try to obey the rules and make good quality posts and you wil prevent yourself from gettin ban/infractions.
    Thanks

    Like all forums, DP has a few rules. If you don't follow them, you are banned :D

    You get banned for breaking the rules.

    In general, you'll be banned temporarily when you accrue 10 infraction points. Most infractions are worth one point. Attacking or harassing others will get you 2 points. Spamming is worth 5. (brand new members can be banned when they reach 5 infraction points)

    Some things immediately get you banned. If you setup duplicate accounts for instance you'll be banned for several months and the duplicate will be banned permanently. If you continue to setup duplicates, your first account will also be banned longer or permanently.

    You may get banned if you're spamming people via the PM system. Hate speech against any race or religious group, or anything along those lines, may get you banned permanently (that includes the politics & religion forum).

    You'll also get banned for 7 days immediately if you post just to tell someone to PM you, to tell them you PMd them, or to say you're interested in an offer posted (including to leave your prices and details in the thread). That's not allowed. You can learn more about that by reading the announcement at the top of all BST sections and the 7-day ban sticky here in general chat.

    Other than that, read all stickies and announcements, and the FAQ / Rules link at the top of the forum. (Especially read the BST and Suggestions & Feedback stickies). Here's a thread with a quick run-down covering much of what is, and isn't, allowed at DP.
