I think the reason for those bans is that they don't want you rebelling and are showing that they don't need you personally, thus ban.

Of course it's all retained.

Isn't it amazing that places like this built on user support and contribution turn around and pull a “we don’t need you”?

They think they are too big to die by now. That userbase grows like crops, and isn't conscious of how it's being treated.

That's a bit like monopolists and Ponzi scheme owners think. It works sometimes.
