Honestly, that story sounds really vague and I can't see _anything_ in it that would even be remotely responsible for an account suspension. What do you think they got in trouble for? Sending a message to too many people? That certainly isn't a bannable offense, especially since there is a public posting option.
As I recall, it was a specific, first-hand account. And the author was initially as puzzled as you are. What happened? Why?
It's one of several stories/anecdotes I've run across. Unfortunately, I haven't kept a list of links to those.
En masse, they've caused me enough concern to not "push the button". In good part, if something does go amiss, you're pretty well stuck, unless you have a big enough megaphone to garner sufficient publicity and/or enough of the "right" connections to garner some love from fellow geeks.
Maybe I and others are being gamed by opposing forces. I'm not at a point where I care to find out the hard way whether that's the case.
