Why are weblogs suspended?

We have a few bots that constently 'read' weblog entries/posts/comments/walls/etc and, if they find something they don't like they inform the moderators to suspend the weblog.
This is not an automatic process, the moderator can choose to ignore the suggestion(s) given by the weblog.

How do the bots work?

This is not an easy question to answer, first of all because it might help certain editors to try and 'beat' the bot.
But more importantly because it changes all the time, the bots have hundreds of rules to check if a weblog should be suspended or not, those rules change all the time. So answering this question today might not give the same answer tomorrow.

My account was suspended, how can I get it back?

You can send us a message, (user JournalHome), or you can send an email to the admin here, you can even add a comment here. We will then review the site again.

When is the suspended site deleted?

We normally keep the sites for a few months before completely deleting them. We normally don't recycle the user name/weblog name for a year or so, In some extreme cases we never recycle the names.
