random thought on the suspensions

[furiosity]

This has probably been brought up somewhere, but between Prophecy and trying to catch up on my flist, I possibly missed it. I was just reading the LJ FAQ entry on suspended accounts and noticed this:

Account suspensions are generally used by the Abuse Prevention Team as a last resort. In most cases, a user will be provided with an opportunity to delete any content that is in violation of the Terms of Service before his or her account is suspended. Immediate suspensions are done for certain reasons, including but not limited to:

* journals where all material is a violation of the Terms of Service.

In most cases, users whose journals have been suspended will be unsuspended and provided with a limited time window in which to correct the violations of the Terms of Service. However, some suspended journals will not be reinstated for certain reasons, which include but are not limited to:

[snip]
* journals where all material is a violation of the Terms of Service

So it appears that LJ Abuse Prevention Team staff violated their own fucking guidelines by permanently suspending Ponderosa and Foo, because no way in HELL those journals contained ONLY material in violation of the Terms of Service. Way to FUCKING fail some more, LJ. God.
