It has been - in some cases - that people have engaged in extreme vandalism, hate speech, harassment, doxxing, etc. It would be argued that these require a long ban, in order to protect the community and allow the person time to process and calm down and evolve. . . if they want to appeal their ban, they can do so through the community pages of the person who banned them. I've also seen some bans repealed this way, too, as the person proved they had matured. I think the point that is trying to be made is about ridiculously long bans for things that don't warrant it, in some cases long bans are required but infinite bans are just way too extreme.
