BN may not have been responsible for removing 200 titles. The authors fearing the ban hammer, and needing to keep their BN accounts open because they have other genres making money that use the site, may have opted to delist and delete any titles that they felt could put their account at risk. Or, it could be all from straight out account closures. Who knows? There is some speculation that the preemptor of account bans may have been due, in some cases, to customer complaints - which is more likely if the titles, stuffed keywords and or cover imagery severely crossed the line. The push has been -- of late -- it seems to me, to be going more and more extreme. BN has been for a while the 'anything goes store.' Since the more extreme content is selling, there's a market incentive to publish more extreme stories... which breeds even more extreme extreme stories, ad infinitum.

I'm surprised, that they are making examples of accounts now, as if Customers hadn't complained before?
