Do they ever ban anyone? I thought all they did was put a scammer tag on you and let you run around happily.
He got banned, if you check his posts have a XXXXX rated
As far as I know, he wasn't banned. Scamming is not a bannable offense, as it doesn't speak to the value of your posts. You'll just be clearly marked as a scammer to protect idiots that don't read into post histories. That said, nobody should ever be dependent on that protection, if they enjoy keeping their money.
