That can really depend on the person and situation there.
I have seen folks who have been banned for prolonged periods who had really done nothing except have a different opinion than a chatmod. Not a crime, but more than enough to the power-crazed.
But far worse, is the other end of the spectrum. Some people will treat a chat like a free-for-all chance to spout garbage at people and watch them cry. These monstrous people who seem to enjoy the suffering of other humans are very rare, it's true; but the existence of ONE is all it takes to prove the exception. They are called trolls, and the moment one finds a place to hide, others will congregate quicker than you can notice.
And heaven forbid one of these creatures ever gets ahold of a banhammer. The result will be monotone, justified disaster.
