He threw it out that I was lying, and I threw out that he wasn’t reading the CoC, then provided evidence that I didn’t lie.
So again, how is providing evidence to someone who starts off saying I’m lying without providing evidence, then gets mad after said evidence is shown to him, trolling?
It requires a modicum of common sense to parse the Code of Conduct. If you could do that, you’d realize that “we can remove anything for any reason” simply means it is their decision, and their decision is final.
It is not meant to be taken to extreme literal foolishness, as you are doing.
The old forums were slow and monotonous to navigate. These new ones are more streamlined and user friendly, I don’t see the issue. And how so? Because at the highest level we can do stuff that we couldn’t do on the old forums? Still don’t see the issue. The only way I’d see that having any basis is if it were a government implementing it in town hall meetings or something. It’s a game company implementing it on the forums that they own.
If that’s the case, I was already feeding a troll I shouldn’t have been feeding.
Edit:
Here is the post.

This is a lie. If you want to be ridiculous enough to actually believe this is true, go right ahead, but don’t subject the rest of us to your headspace.
They have been focusing more and more on the Chinese market. Maybe they have adopted an oppressive communist mindset where innovation is nonexistent, all content is regurgitated and rehashed, and criticism is stifled to appeal to their core audience?
Not even remotely surprising that the only like received for this tribble was from Lightfang.

It kind of is – the implication is that the person being addressed cannot parse the Code of Conduct and thus lacks common sense. It’s a veiled insult for sure, but still an insult.
It is a bit of a high bar, yes, but allowing users to link to any site on the internet is a risk, as people could do so to some seriously questionable places. They figure that setting it that high ensures that the user has a vested interest in contributing to WoW, and isn’t going to be a vandal.
Whenever I see anyone post about Trust Level here all I can think about is how one of the big pieces of fanart that used to be front and center on the official site’s fanart page (for quite a while) was some furry’s picture of a nude Tauren female hugging her pet cat.
The thing is, that’s not the point of MVPs – it’s not their function to parse what the community wants and follow that. Their opinions don’t have any more weight to them than the rest of ours (aside from their generally consistent cordial attitude), so when they do express their opinions, it’s just that – their own opinions.
They don’t speak for us as a collective, and that certainly isn’t what they’re here for.
I believe that fanart was named “Loyalty Level Six”.
Honestly I didn’t even think about the fact she was nude till they took it down. But I watched a lot of Bugs Bunny (who’s only wearing gloves) & Tom & Jerry (nude except when they go swimming for some reason)
