There's a difference between: banning users for doing something, tempbanning for doing something, warning users for doing something, PSAs about doing something etc...
As you can see there's an escalation path, and depending on what "something" is, you can craft moderation policy that will build a good culture in your community. Obviously banning over something that most of your users would consider minor right off the bat, is a bit over the top. At the same time, you may need to resort to banning certain behavior in order to "right the ship" if things are out of balance. Takes some skill that the LSC mods apparently didn't have, despite their best intentions.
