ICO Blizzard doesn’t normally remove ICOs from the platform after they have been published. If your ICO has a bad rating, it won’t be removed from the list unless you want to do so.

Removal is considered when we have proofs that the ICO is scam, so that users have reported they tried to buy tokens and they didn’t receive them, the team members are not real, or the content/images have been stolen and/or fraudulently copied.
A token or a coin is a digital asset issued during an ICO campaign and sold to the public, usually for other popular cryptocurrencies, namely BTC or ETH, or sometimes directly for fiat currency.

By buying a certain number of tokens, you help the investors to crowdfund the project and to raise funds. Once an ICO campaign is successfully finished, the token developers can release the tokens on an exchange, where they can be traded like any other cryptocurrency.
