Treyarch has kindly updated their list of punishments if you decide to do something stupid in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
"All infractions undergo a thorough review process by the Treyarch security team before enforcement, and penalty is not subject to further review," wrote the dev on the Call of Duty forums.
"Temporary bans can range from 48 hours to 2 weeks, depending on the severity of the infraction. Permanent bans are lasting and final.
A minor offense is one in which no quantifiable damage has been done to another user of the game community at large. An extreme offense is one in which a player has caused detriment to other users or has organized large groups of users to commit addtional offenses."
Here's the complete list of infractions mentioned by Treyarch (via That Videogame Blog):
