Fair enough question -- and let's look at the answer.
In the event that a veteran poster suddenly decides to become disruptive, his post would be removed immediately.
The moderator would send him a notice saying that he has filed a complaint with the "judiciary". The poster would realize that further disruptions would only hurt his case and could, indeed, result in a much longer suspension.
The fact that his suspension would begin in three days, instead of immediately, would have little impact.
(Hey! We generally have at least a month before having to pay a speeding ticket, but that doesn't encourage us to go flying through known radar traps.)
