Well, check for sure but it comes down to opinion at that point. Hellbanning is a pretty extreme choice for someone who made a fairly small mistake like that.

- vinceguidry 11y agoI would agree that it comes down to opinion, but I disagree that it is extreme. If the very first post you make exhibits a disregard for community norms, then chances are you're not interested in building harmony. More to the point, it is indicative of someone who has made a new account specifically to be insulting, perhaps trying to evade a hellban on a different account.
- krapp 11y agoThere are numerous examples of users engaging in far less civil behavior than a minor and easily ignored insult, from accounts old enough to know better, only to receive, at best, multiple warnings before being banned (if they even get banned at all.) The rationale behind hellbanning is extreme because it is arbitrary. Transgressions like @shitsandwich's are what downvoting is meant for, not banning altogether.
