I think its important to know exactly what can and cant be pushed with them. I will share the info when i come to some conclusions but simply put there is no correlation between all the deletes i have saw (most DID NOT have hardcore content on them, but the text was very risque.)

Time will tell how far the blogs are allowed to go. I can only speculate what you "can" and "cant" get away with.

BUT one thing i have found is this WASNT brought into play to target adult content. Allthough it makes it easy to police now and we will pay the price by default, the reasonings behind this lay more closely to hatred and "illegal" activities seen on many of there sites. One recent event that helped speed up the flag system was the blog of the sexual serial killer, where just from reading..you could see the evilness brewing. (http://fifthnail.blogspot.com) I think also blogspot must set itself up so that it can "purge" the system if current regulations enforce them to comply with Fed and Local laws..ie 2257.

Keep your blogs in single logins, dont have more then one blog under a login. (they wont just delete the blog, they will remove the account) And make sure the blogs are not shown on blogger (in the settings). You also want to NOT let comments, and also REMOVE your profile from the pages, and DO NOT show your blogs in your profile.

Never host an image with them, and refrain from posting anything racial, borderline immoral , or hardcore. And despite the normal benefits, update them regularly, this shows activity and will mean the diferance often between being seen as spam or as someones active site (what they want).

Enough of that.
