My understanding of the system is that, unless it's a grievous offense, the bans extend in duration (3 hours --> 3 days --> lifetime).
I'm wondering if the counter ever resets (after, say, 4 years), or if one simply has to tread lightly for the entire extent of their WoW career after getting a couple of bans.
