To clarify on Beestie's points, I delete spam and not much else. For years and years, pre-spam days, I never deleted anything at all.
I admit I deleted a few April posts when it was clear that she was intolerably irritating and specifically disrupting everything. In the past I might have just let her go and allowed the community to police her. These days if a few deletions like that will make the community run more smoothly, in the kind of policing that the community would do anyway, well what the hey.
The "pulling the plug" thing is another matter; I may not participate as much as I do now, but I expect to keep it going forever. I consider that my responsibility, because people count on it. If I couldn't keep it any longer, or if I became less interested, etc., I would try to transfer it to someone else.
And on that point, also, if it ever seems dead just keep trying it; tech problems are inevitable but most of them can be solved in a few days.
