I have come across a couple of my friends getting suspended without much information. Though I don't use Google+ after initial few days as it did not offer anything than what FB offered except for hangouts, so my account is still in use, can't say since I am not using it much, they may suspend. Anyone here who got their or their known ones account suspended.
I think they are suspending accounts that seem to have false names. They want to discourage fake names and encourage people to use real names.
Google+ wants everyone to be real for the site. So yeah, anyone with fake names or fake accounts will get suspended. As for your friends, I don't know what they did. Did they try to contact google about the situation?
I feel sorry for the ghetto people from facebook who might transition to G+ one day.. You know the ones with a stupid middle name!. lol
Nope, none of them tried to contact. and I believe the same, when its google's business, they will feel what is better for them...and when you are using something free, be prepared to see it closed any day...seems they are following the same approach as with adsense... Anybody thought that what will be the case when assuming tomorrow everyone will have chrome books and all their data stored online
Based on what I know about Google there won't be a lot of information from them as to why they do things like this. But it makes sense that they would want real people. I suspect the +1 votes are going to start being a really big deal for SEO, they want to make sure people don't try to find black hat loopholes to that.

But just type team, company, institute or similar words like that and u will find a lot of profiles...how come they are real profiles
When some one uses weird names their account will be suspended for sure......... Google wants real people, any weird names will be considered as a fake account...
how do you consider a name as weird, people from different regions of the world find most of the names from other parts weird. And just try Google search for "google+ deleted" and you will find a lot of discussions, articles going on regarding this. Its not just some weird names, but last Saturday quite a lot of accounts that were deleted spanned from well-known tech figures (including ex-google employ, writes one of the article that I read) to netizens. Here, its not about deleting an account, but atleast first let people get some warning and even after that if they don't correct, then its correct to delete. Not that, you access the account the previous night and next day morning you wake up to see that your account is deleted with out getting proper communication except pointing to T&C.
Google has suspended the accounts of people who are using alias names instead of their original names. Well G+ users should get used to it, after all its GOOGLE
Hi, I tried to signup in Google +, It shows, you are queue, Google will send Google + invitation like that, I cannot able to get Google + invitation. Please suggest How do i get invitation form Google
Lolz.... Google and their polices. They are just doing what they want. nobody have right to point out such a things other wise those people accounts will also suspend. Let me tell you one true story. I have contacted with google forum about some problem facing. i disscuss the issue and ask is their any thing related to placement of mine adsense if you seen then please guide me so that i will change that. after three days one of the user contact me and said it seems ok. afer few day i got suspended my account all content was original, non adult and according to policies. but when try to contact again and again google suspended my account and also through out my website as well. lolz. by saying spamming issue and violation o our polices. lolz and i lost my 2300$ in that account lolz. such a nice work Googlers.
Many have got their account suspended for spamming on Google Plus. But, Google sees room for several social networks. http://www.ciol.com/Global-News/Glo...es-room-for-several-social-networks/152103/0/
This is a Social Media site so the guys at Google seem to be encouraging the use of real names and id's instead of the fake ones. Try to keep it real and natural.
