It's almost certainly an underestimate. If an account is gone that's a permanent ban, and they issue temp bans all the time for all kinds of retarded reasons. There was even a thread calling for even longer bans for "bigots". The proportion of users who have been been subject to some kind of ban at some point is probably north of 90%. I'd be curious to know how many just don't come back after being subject to a temp ban imposed for bullshit reasons.
