Administrators and Moderators response to rule breaches will be as follows:
All infractions will be recorded on the public 'Warning Board'. This allows the community to scrutinise the rulings for consistency/equality, see that rules are being enforced satisfactorily, and to learn from their peers example to better understand what is and is not considered acceptable.
For 99% of people the below details will not be relevant, however:
Breaches of the rules will result in a strike being recorded against your account - The first time a user breaches a rule, a verbal warning will be publicly given and recorded, this is a curtsey that you will only be afforded once. Each Strike is worth 10 points, and you can receive up to four strikes at once if your misconduct is judged as severe or flagrant enough. For each strike you will receive a ban of increasing duration as follows:
10 - 0 minutes
20 - 1 hour
30 - 2 hours
40 - 6 hours
50 - 12 hours
60 - 1 day
70 - 2 days
80 - 5 days
90 - 10 days
100 - permanent
Each Month, your warning may drop by ten points *if* it is above 50. This only occurs if good behaviour has warranted it. You will never be able to reduce your warning level below 50 though.

Format for the warning board will be as follows -
Member Name: who was given the strike, linking their profile
Warning Amount: [old value] -> [new value] (duration of ban)
Reason for Warning: Why they are being giving this warning, including the specific rule(s) or past verbal warn(s) they were breaking or ignoring and a link to the thread and ideally a copy of the specific expert in question.
So as an example of something you might see on the warning board: (though hopefully not often)
