Soron's Law: All memeber's will be banned given enough time.

I would like to introduce my own forum rule, similar to Godwin's. I am not sure it was done before, but it very well might have. (If not I would like to call it Connor's Law... or Soron's Law )

Soron's Law
Probability of Being Banned (or PoBB) = SUM(i=n, f*t) of [((f*t)!/(i!*(f*t-i)!))*c^i*(1-c)^(f*t-i)]

f= Frequency of Posting (see your profile)
c= "Craziness Factor." Which is the % chance that any one of your given posts will receive an infraction. This number is based on which forum/site your posting on, and your mental health. Also: 0<c<1 for any and all members. This number can change as time progresses.
t= Time. Make sure its in the same units as f. (Days for this site)
n= Number of infractions necessary to be banned.
i= index holder for n
For this site the equation becomes a little more complex because you need consecutive infractions to get a "permanent point" and N permanent points to be banned.

MtGS Soron's Law:
Probability of Being Banned on Salvation = SUM(j=N, T*f) of {((f*T)!/(j!*(f*T-j)!))*PoBB^j*(1-PoBB)^(f*t-j))} or {(1-(1-S)^T)}

j is just an index.
For this equation, t only includes non-suspended time and has a upper limit of the time it takes an infraction to expire, T includes all time. S is the "Stupidness Factor." Which the the % chance you will do something stupid while suspend or otherwise and get auto banned. There is some evidence of a positive correlation between S and c, and they have the same properties. (0<S<1 for any and all members. This number is also based on your mental health. )
As you can see, as:
time ->infinity
then
(The Probability of any Given Member Becoming Banned) -> 1

So, the written form of Soron's Law becomes:
As time increases, the probability of an active member becoming banned approaches one.

For those of you that don't like binomial theory, this pile of crap math should be easier to understand:

Ban=(c*P)/n
Ban is proportional to The Probably of Getting Banned.

c= how crazy the person is.
P=how many posts they make
n=number of posts needed for a ban
The two factors that increase the probability of being banned are number of posts, and how much you 'walk the line.' Which is EXACTLY the same thing that increase your chances of being NOTABLE.

So, notable members have a MUCH better chance of being banned. (<-Soron's Second Law)
