The live pieces on Digg Labs don't actually show stories being deleted from Digg. Swarm, specifically, removes stories from the display either after the story hasn't been dugg in a while, or the total number of stories displayed reaches a reasonable threshold. Diggers similarly disappear when they haven't dugg any of the displayed stories in a while.
So, while it may appear that this video shows stories being deleted and users being banned in realtime, that's actually not the case.
