    If you troll, yes.

    AB has less tolerance for trolls than Yahoo Answers.

    If you wish to participate without trolling, you shall find it a more pleasant environment than Y!A.

    I believe that if you get enough people complaining they may uninvite you to participate. Why? Do you think it's cool to go around being offensive.

    Yes, they can!

    At least they can nuke your account or just block it.
    They do this all the time with spam accounts, for instance.

    It works like this:
    - some users flag some of your submissions as offensive or send a feedback about you
    - the staff moderators or Community Leaders (CLs) review those flags or feedbacks and take a decision.
    - you will also be considered a nuisance if you post a lot of spam, nonsense, or if you post in wrong categories, especially if you post adult questions outside of the adult part of AB (AB4Adults).

    The worst that happened to me was that some of my submissions were rejected.

    The next step is to suspend your account temporarily (Penalty Box - PB).

    The last step is to suspend your account for years or indefinitely.

    However, in the case of obvious repeated break of the terms of use, it could happen very quickly, especially for Beginners with obvious spam accounts.

    yes. It's called a lifetime ban but you will get plenty of warnings first.
