or tangentially to people who were banned resulted in the post getting deleted. and for a while, also resulted in the person who posted it getting suspended, And maybe even tombstoned him/herself if s/he kept trying to say things that the mods insisted on deleting and burying.

That was the whole point of spying on people through Facebook. That was the whole problem with getting tombstoned for the number 7, or having Morse-Code in a signature that said something innocuous, and all the petty shit that got people thread-stalked and deleted by mods back then.

If you don't conform, you get deleted until you conform.
If you don't agree to conform, you get tombstoned.
If you don't like it, you're a persistent troublemaker who supposedly received multiple warnings until the moderators had no choice but to tombstone you.
