There are two types of permabanned members:
1. Scammers (spam bots, and the like)
2. Those who have had many, many warnings, and temp-bans in the past.
Those who are in category #2, yet have not been permabanned, have generally (99%) been talked to beforehand, and they ignore warnings. Some, however, step so far over the line they get their "talking-to" in the form of a "You are temporarily banned. You have been temp banned for XYZ" admonishment when they try to log on next.
