Okay, I'll admit I do have some sympathy for those who've had accounts deleted, because technically they had no specific warning shots across the bow... just sudden, permanent deletions.
But jeez louise people... it was just a few months ago that we had the great Strikethrough '07 wailing and gnashing of teeth. We *know* why those accounts got deleted. The folks at 6Apart (and I feel just a teensy bit dirty about "rallying" to their side in this), while handling things in an incredibly stupid and ham-fisted way, were also pretty clear that underage porn would get you deleted. Why, oh why, would anyone then go and post underage Harry Potter porn art in a Community? I mean, duh?
I will also admit to getting a bit of a laugh (accompanied by an eye roll) over the fact that the folks at 6Apart have changed it so now those deleted accounts show up in bold, rather than with a strikethrough. I guess that's one way to avoid another Strikethrough campaign. *eye roll* Maybe, someday, they'll figure out how to send warning emails.
