I'm sure the fine print of the terms and conditions sets this out. I would expect these to include that they can throw people off the site for any reason they like, barring any race, gender etc. factors which would be prohibited by law. If you don't like it, start an open/wiki/p2p social networking tool and make your own rules. If you do it before anyone else, you might even turn a (small, ethical) buck on it.
