The difference one member can make...
Nearly all the members who are active in blogs and forums have strong personalities. Some stronger than others... obviously. When a strong personality does or says something opposite to what CS wants to reflect on their site, a comment or blog gets deleted. Often as a warning and a 'time-out' should they consider the offense become more serious.I cannot remember the number of years I've been here and how many members were banned, but it's more than a handful. Banning I believe was mostly (but not always) for political reasons. Some return with a new profile and in a short time get banned again. I think it's not for the way they behave as a 'new' member, but rather for the sins and havoc created in their previous profile.
Compared to other sites, moderation at CS is very light. I'm sure there are more important things for them to attend to aside from our little space on the internet. But when they do visit you may see several things happen in one swipe.
A few years ago their position was stated and requests from CS staff were stated as to what blogs they want to see less of. That's long gone and it's business as usual.
Last year a handful of blogs disappeared and some of the members who authored them disappeared too. While some of the blogs of the 'dearly departed' remain, most of them are unlocked. Only this week I see some long lasting blogs have been locked.
My opinion/question is shouldn't a blog of a banned member be locked or deleted too?
Oh, the difference one member can make...

Did they jump or were they pushed, social media is very different now. No joking, no flirting, few conversations, and lots of hostility. I hope the trend goes back someday to chatting, and things other than politics and religion, because there are few places for singles to chat.
I learned on another site that when a member was deleted, their blogs were also deleted.
No member... no legacy.
