I think a ban for one infraction would be a little extreme. If your intention is to keep newbies from joining and participating then by all means ban on one infraction.
I was a lurker on this site for a long time before I finally decided to join. It took me a long time to join because many of you can be very intimidating. My first post was in the wrong section. I was worried that my question would be lame and I was nervous and distracted I posted it in the wrong section. I got laughed at and flamed but I learned my lesson. I'm not sure I need to be banned too.
