  Is this true for both “time out” temporary bans and permanent ones?

  So only tincture of time tells if it’s temporary or permanent.

  Yes, but most bans are permanent. At present, there are only 2 members whose accounts are temporarily suspended. When/if the suspension is lifted, the banned stamp comes off.

  So what's the difference between a temporary ban and "behind bars"?

  Jailbars posters can still post, but I don’t think they can start a thread when in jail. Am pretty sure they can pm
  too. Banned posters can read but not post. Is this correct, @skieurope ?

  ^Sounds right. It's hard for us to tell, though!

  Correct. Banned users are unable to log in, so they can only read existing posts.

  I am assuming one would be notified that they are being banned and why. Correct?

  Yes. And they will be told if it's just a temporary ban or permanent.

  @JUP2020 There is a "Terms of Service" link at the bottom of each forum page: http://www.collegeconfidential.com/policies/terms-of-service/
  
  FWIW, depending on the TOS violation, the mods here do give warnings. There is some drama now in the "helicopter parents" thread that I am staying out of. This is a heavily trafficked site with active moderation. (Particularly @skieurope, who seems near omnipresent.)
