They don't get banned for just "ignoring the rules" per se.
The rules are clearly marked and easy for people to locate and read and I, personally, don't expect people to know every rule 100%.
Most people are banned for violating the rules.
Usually, if they're new here and break the rules, we'll initially advise them of the rules and ask them not to repeat the violation.
A lot accept that and move on.
Some, especially those who have come to the forum to troll, promote themselves, or just have a "your rules don't apply to me" attitude (and you can usually see this in their first couple of posts) get banned.
And there's usually a discussion and vote behind the scenes before someone is banned.
