I just came off a 5 day ban. It sucks, but I was in the wrong so I had no recourse but to take it like a man. You really start to see how little resources and BTC knowledge is out there if you don't have bitcointalk for asking questions and having discussions.
I didn't spam, but I don't think anyone tolerates it, you'll just get reported and shut out into the cold.
Really though, you are a member of a pretty great community, funny, smart, helpful, crazy, you get a little bit of everything here. Treat your membership as a privelege and respect what you got. It will enrich your experience and evyone else's too
I replied to your thread in the newbie section (not sure why it was there). But what was the reason listed on your ban?
I find it hard to believe that a hero member was banned for breaking some forum rule after being here for 17+ months
