"we do not take automatic action based on the number of abuse reports submitted for a profile" Also, a real-name suspension only locks you out of Google+, nothing else. A Google TOS violation, however, can cause you to be locked out of your entire Google account.

If the Google spokesman's claim is correct and there really is manual review, it's remarkably shoddy. One of the accounts that's been deleted was recently on the cover of Wired. Another had assembled a page documenting all the people who called her by the pseudonym and posted it on her G+ profile. What kind of training are they giving these reviewers?

  "One of the accounts that's been deleted was recently on the cover of Wired." Regarding the cover of Wired case: if you do the query [site:plus.google.com ladyada] on bing.com, you'll see an older version of the profile, where the name was "Adafruit Industries." Google has said that Google+ isn't ready for businesses yet, and asks people to use real names. If a profile gives a name like Doctor Popular, I can believe that would be flagged.

  The account was not deleted, it was suspended pending review. It has since been reviewed, and reinstated. As to why it was flagged for reviewal, I suspect the other person's comment (that she originally went by the name Adafruit Industries) is correct.

That just means that you can't spam abuse reports to get somebody autobanned. It doesn't mean you can't get banned by a bot for other reasons.
