Members get automatically banned when they reach a certain number of infraction points, breaking the first threshold will get you a day ban and then they get more severe as they go on. The amount of points you get per infraction depends on what you've done and whether or not you break the rules on a regular basis. Someone who is constantly breaking the rules will hit those ban thresholds in a short amount of time as opposed to someone who only rarely breaks the rules. There's some exceptions to that of course but they tend to be rare.

Your friends get banned more often because they maintain a high infraction score while other SD regulars aren't really that close to being banned because they don't break the rules as frequently. The system is consistent, you just didn't understand it.
