Hey Arthur, welcome to the blog.
MySpace is absolutely doing things in a whimsical, haphazard fashion. There are lots of things MySpace could do, and correctly too, to prevent objectionable pages. They could even have a flagging system so people can put profiles into a penalty box of sorts to be reviewed by Myspace staff.

I think the person or people who were doing the choosing of deleted accounts were not really looking at the things and real reason why to delete a person . Even though there are about 10,000 under the age of 16 still on myspace on .
