No bannings are permanent the way the rules are now. Even someone who did not send a gift at all in one gift exchange, then gets banned, can buy their way back in to future Gift Exchanges for $75.
I had not remembered that until I just re-read thru the existing rules. Most of the rules say "may be suspended" or "may be banned" but it also says if any of the rules are broken, the member will have their YT account suspended for one week. Not sending a gift = banned forever (except for the $75 buy in). Members late sending gifts may be suspended or receive a penalty. If you do not thank your gift sender or break other GE rules, you may be permanently excluded from future YT GEs.
So, not really any hard and fast rules about who gets suspended, banned, penalized, or excluded. |
