Overall, smaller actions are better though I tend to be more strict on some things (as strong, clear policy is also important). Spam (I don't attribute spam to the meaning of repetitive comments), advertising (dependent on exactly what you mean here, assuming irrelevant advertisement, could be spam), hacking (I want you to prove that one), and inappropriate content can get you blocked globally from Fandom/Wikia. Threatening and bullying aren't conducive to a community environment so being stricter here isn't unreasonable (and, of course, the severity is important).

Overall, I'd say consequences are more based off feel. It's nice to have guides (important for those users that don't have a great "feel" and give long blocks for everything), though each situation is different so the resulting action could be more or less than those guides.
