There's probably a general rule where they don't perma-ban you as easily, but I think the general consensus is that you'll totally get banned for breaking the rules too much, but your bans might not be as harsh and they'll ban you a bit less for minor shit.
I've noticed over the past few months I've had the pass I've had more "borderline" posts deleted, where in the past they might end up with a 1 or 3 day ban instead.
