   Banned from Facebook?

   How hard is it to get banned from Facebook?   
      
   I've never signed up, so I don't have a sense of how often this happens   
   to everyday people.   
      
   I managed to find this NY Times article about people claiming to be   
   kicked off for no good reason, but comprehensive numbers are pretty   
   scarce here.

   account.html   
      
   I've read plenty of stories about Facebook purging paid trolls, and a   
   few stories about notorious people getting kicked off.   
      
   But I'm curious how hard it is for a typical crazy Aunt Becky or nutty   
   Uncle Otto who are constantly posting dangerous conspiracy theory stuff   
   to get the boot, either permanently or for a long time.   
      
   I know that they will block specific posts and hand out warnings, but   
   does anyone know anyone who has had a serious enforcement action against   
   them?
