Does this apply to meta sites too?

Can I get banned on meta sites too?

Beware that an account might very well have many deleted posts, including auto-deleted old low-score questions, all of which are only visible to moderators.

Note the emphasis on fixing. Do not delete your posts. As explained above, negative marks on deleted posts do still count towards the question ban, and the fact that they are deleted can also count against you (with the exception of questions that are 30 days or older when deleted). Deleting your posts does not help to lift the ban. Only fixing does! You can see a list of your own deleted questions and answers that were deleted in the last 60 days; to find posts deleted prior to that time, ask a moderator on the per-site meta or in the site's chat.

Yes. However, on Meta Stack Exchange, the threshold of votes in the question ban calculation is reduced because on meta sites, downvotes are often used to indicate disagreement rather than bad quality. Do note that if you do continue to make bad-quality posts, your account may be manually suspended by a moderator.

On per-site metas, the automatic ban threshold is the same as on main Q&A sites.

On per-site metas, the automatic ban threshold is the same as on main Q&A sites. Additionally, the thresholds for answer bans are the same on all main and meta sites, including Meta Stack Exchange.
