    Probably because the feds wanted an easier time identifying crazy users.

    The fact 7 didn't leave so much as a goodbye note just screams "Feds Я Us" and that him leaving the site was part of a deal.

      lol! It's dead EASY identifying crazy users, personality disorders, and a million other things. Word frequency, mis-spellings, mis-keyings, can indicate intoxication, brain damage, epilepsy, dementia, lots of cool things.

      I think that's really interesting. I've noticed even humans can detect a lot of things without consciously even thinking about it from writing alone, especially with enough samples like in a forum.

      There was a study a while back where participants were shown a very short video clip (1-3 seconds) of a speaker, and were tasked with creating a personality analysis. The study reported they were very successful in extracting massive amounts of personality data from just seconds of exposure.

      That seems to validate the legitimacy of 'first impressions' being lasting and accurate.
