Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

No. Sometimes, it's for the look of the post.
And if you'll notice, I said to earn a banning you'd need an average of 90%+ incorrectness over a week - who would really surpass that other than spammers? And 90% is a lot... I doubt you'd read a topic with 90%+ mis-spelling, and many would consider it spam no matter the (obfuscated) content.
Proper English is important - it's right there in the Rules. Use proper spelling and grammar as far as possible, or face the wrath of Ninjas. A nice automatic system delegates that responsibility to the Soul!
You would be surprised how many people would mis-spell over 90% of their posts in one week. Myself for example. If you ask anyone that used to know me, Hobo GRrunt, JAVA2, Recon, GJJ, and lilshorty, just to name a few, you would find out that I was the worst speller in the world back in '05. Yes, I have changed, but my spelling was horrid none the less. Yes, proper English is a good thing, but important, I say no. Spelling is good, but important, I say no. Everything, from spelling to speaking, nothing in any language is important. It is just the message that must be kept across. Name at least five posts that take the meaning from the look. Yes, I know there are a few out there, but the look is rarely as important as the message.
If anything it is the paragraphs of a post that count, not the spelling. The one thing, no matter how hard I try, I cannot get how spelling could ever equal intelligence. That is the basis of this idea, in no way, shape, or form can spelling ever equal intelligence.
As for having proper English being in the rules, I ask you; where is this? I have never seen this before, not in my two year here have I ever seen this. It is suggested you spell correctly and use correct grammar, but no where does it say that one must use the full extent of their knowledge on this forum.
