What are the various stages of PPR?

I think I understand. An ordinary user PPR'ed will simply have their posting privileges revoked, but their previous posts stay up if unhidden.
 
If a user is removed by MIRT, all their posts are 'auto-removed', but responses are not.
 
I notice that there is one further category, and that is 'name-removed' as well. What did they do? It must really be bad...
 
Or did they use an obscenity for their name or something like that?

On edit: don't tell me 'Name removed' was just their username? D'uh!

1. name-removed and auto-removed go together.

When the post is auto-removed, the author's name is changed to name-removed.

At least that is the way it seems to work.

2. But not always

As I noticed in this very group: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12566793

4. It's not really a hierarchy of offensiveness - it's just based on post count

Low-count newbie PPRs get names and recent posts automatically removed, but posts from long-term DUers get left after PPR. It's a tool for easily cleaning up spam and trolls: for example, if someone signs up with a username like cheappaydayloans.com and spams a web link across a dozen threads, they get automatically cleaned up rather than a MIRT member needing to do it all manually...
