In real life I'm Joanna. I live in Griffith, Canberra, Australia.

I have now geohashed in 3 states: ACT, NSW, VIC, all in Australia.

The punishment is simple. You get muted or devoiced for a period of time. For the first offense, you are devoiced for 4 (four) seconds. The next offense quadruples the time devoiced to 16 (sixteen) seconds and so on. After your mute time is over a year, you get kickbanned from the channel.
xkcd
Every 6 (six) hours (12:00am, 6:00am, 12:00pm, and 6:00pm US.EST (GMT -5)) the *next* mute time gets cut in half. This creates a theoretical max devoice time of just over 9 (nine) hours, however some circumstances can result in a longer mute time. Circumstances that result in longer mute times include being manually muted by a human moderator, and Moderator lagging and extra lines going through when they shouldn't have.

Assume the first ban occurs 1ms after 00:00 (12am)

Ban time Total time Next ban time
00:00:04 00:00:04 00:00:16
00:00:16 00:00:20 00:01:04
00:01:04 00:01:24 00:04:16
00:04:16 00:05:40 00:17:04
00:17:04 00:22:44 01:08:16
01:08:16 01:31:00 04:33:04
04:33:04 06:04:04 09:06:08 (2*ban_time, as we've passed 6 hrs)
09:06:08 15:10:12 18:12:16 (2*ban_time, as we've passed 12 hrs)
18:12:16 33:22:28 09:06:08 (0.5 for 18 hrs, 0.5 for 24 hrs, 0.5 for 30 hrs = 0.5*ban_time)
09:06:08 42:28:36 09:06:08 (0.5 for 36 hrs, 0.5 for 42 hrs = 1*ban_time)
09:06:08 51:36:44 18:12:16 (0.5 for 48 hrs, = 2*ban_time)

So theoretical max is 18:12:16?

Another timing alternative: An 18:12:16 theoretical mute means you can cross either 3 (shown above) OR 4 grace thresholds. If you cross 4, then next mute time is 4.5 hours - which is within the window, so the next mute along is 4*4.5 again (I'm rounding heavily here), returning you to 18 hours mute. --Nemo
