My friends account was banned, I'm guessing it's permaban as it did not state how long till he can post again.
My friend did not receive any warnings at all or any temp ban.
So I'm wondering what are the grounds for permaban without warning?

Well it depends on what the ban is for, as well as how severe the actions are. You'll get a warning for spamming, but if you make 20 spam posts, you may not. Things that are more likely to get you a permanent ban are illegal activity (Bitcoin forum != Darknet forum) , posting malware, copy and paste spam, or breaking any rules with the obvious intent to avoid being caught. Warnings are given to those who mistakenly break the rules. If you are trying to cover your tracks, there is far less leniency.

No he's not doing illegal activity at all. I think the closest would be spamming? What do you consider a spam?
I know he only post 1-2 posts a day. It's not a copy paste, just a regular convo.

Spamming posts are non-sense, one-line, one-word, and non-constructive threads. Something like "Great!", "Yes", "+1", "reserved", "joined", etc.
In addition, spamming posts are repeated posts with same words at different topics in the forum. As time goes on, you will see by chance lots of cheaters in the forum publish same threads over and over again in order to spread information about scam project, scam exchanges, etc.
More seriously, copy & paste without quote will put posters under high risks of permanent bans due to plagiarism.
Furthermore, we also have spamming topics (not only spamming posts), lol.
