Also, a lot of people will make really terrible posts and do other terrible things for a while and get themselves bumped up to Final Warning status. When this happens a lot of people make nice for a while, but once you're already there you're pretty much sunk unless you make quite an impressive turn around.

I really don't like to ban people. I make a lot of jokes about it, but when it comes right down to it I'd rather someone else handle the actual banning. Personally, I just want everyone to be nice and happy.
