What would it take to get banned here?

We formerly of DDO have seen some of the most toxic behavior be considered acceptable (not to say good), so I am curious, what level of BS it would take to be banned here?

On DDO after a long term stalker started making threats of violence for me rejecting his advances, it took months to get a simple restraining order.

Ragnar: If past interactions here have been any indication, general toxic behavior will usually result in a warning from Admin. If his warnings are repeatedly ignored, then you will be banned.
In the past, Admin has been willing to un-ban people after they privately contact him (I.e. via email) and apologize.
If you're not sure about something, either ask first or don't do it. An accidental rule violation made in good faith probably won't result in a ban.
It should be noted that "extreme violence" and pornography are violations of site rules.

It should also be noted that Admin is subject to the laws of New Zealand, and this factors into the rules of edeb8, though you'd have to ask him for more specifics.
Also, as Admin is presumably monolingual, posting something in another language is a big no-no as well, since he would have a hard time telling if something inappropriate was said. And if I recall correctly, you shouldn't try to access this site using Tor.

Finally, if should be noted that, at this time, Admin's largely busy working on certain offline stuff (his degree, if I remember right), so he isn't super active as a moderator right now and probably won't be for a while.
