Wait, Am I banned or the other person? I'm confused by the wording and context. You replied to me, but warned them in another comment.

Also I don't think I've ever been warned before.

I warned the other account rather than banning them because, even though they've broken the site guidelines badly on more than one previous occasion, we hadn't warned them before.

We've banned your account because you've broken the site guidelines badly on many occasions and because we've asked you more than once to stop.
