No way. There need to be calibrations, there needs to be a range for offenses. Otherwise, there's no determining why something happened, it's just a one-size-fits-all punishment.
What you're proposing here implies that someone feeding a troll, continually getting the wrong forum, or any simple mishap is the exact same thing as someone spamming every thread and forum they go into with links to inappropriate content. That's not fair to the people who make the simple mistakes.
Permanent bans are designed for those who deliberately break the rules, continually, just to get under the mods' skin. And it's not simple stuff either. These people are Pillage, Johhny Orcface, et cetera. The people who do it on a regular basis, from account to account. They are the ones who deserve it. In fact, a permanent ban isn't a punishment enough.
If someone makes a simple mistake that normally lands them with a two-day blacklist, they shouldn't be banned from the website entirely. You didn't exactly think this through, did you?
I can understand your point, but you're only looking at one side of this argument, you've completely missed the other side.
