The one day minimum is simply the preset option that's available to us.
Again, there are no qualifications for banning time, other than simply what the moderators agree on and decide to select from the preset list.
Can you ban someone from specific parts of the site, or just MB in general? (sorry to play 20 questions)

Bans only apply to MB in general. You can still view the site, but you cannot log in.

I don't mind the questions.

I've overcome a couple permabans, I'm quite aware lol. I recall making superflous accounts during my bans so that I could still post, but they all knew it was me. I also recall telling everyone that I hope they all die in their sleep (I think that one bought me a month). MB was a different ballpark back in the day, it was like the wild west (but with less syphilis). I used to be such a douche, seriously, ask Urban and RT.

I have a question for you, then.
In your bans, how often would you find yourself viewing the site?

I don't remember exactly, being that it was so long ago. Most likely, right after my ban, I viewed it nonstop for a few hours to see what was being said. I viewed it a few times a day over the next few days, and then gave up and waited it out. Then when my ban was over, I made an "I hate you all" type of return thread that garnered me another ban. I was young and dumb, but fiesty as hell. I deserved what I got.

I have actually heard from others that you cannot view the site, merely a message telling you that you are banned?

That's if you try to log in. If you clear your cookies you can browse as a guest.

Thank you. That answers my question perfectly.

I'm not sure which post you're referring to or when it was posted/deleted, but I can say that the mods are currently in the process of hammering out what constitutes a deletable post, among a lot of other things, and that everyone should hang in there until we're all able to do things a bit more consistently.

Once you cool down from being banned and get your head on straight, there's nothing that you can really do but wait it out. You can make an auxilliary account to post in the meantime, but that's a bad idea, as multiple accounts are forbidden. Getting unbanned is a dual-edged sword though. On one hand, you're happy to be able to post and congregate again. On the other hand, you obviously see your banning as unfair and have pent up aggression towards whomever banned or provoked you, and you may fly off the handle in an attempt at revenge. This is also a bad idea, as it leads to another ban. Just suck it up and take it, that's what I learned. Wishing death upon everyone is futile. I don't know how many "I hate you all, I'm leaving forever" threads that I've seen/posted lol. The internet is serious business for some people.
