I am not an attorney, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I believe the law referenced in the policy is for actual names. I said the name of the avatar used in the game. I doubt very seriously that his character's POTCO name is his real life name, and if it is, his family has a very unique last name.

My understanding of the law referenced is blacklisting "Actual" people. I do not believe listing the cheater's character name is in fact not "blacklisting". I do not have access to his personal information via this website, Disney's website, nor in game. I only know his character name. It is in no way identifying the actual real life person.

I understand the need to err on the side of caution, but equating calling out cheaters to trolling is a little overboard. Perhaps a seperation of trolling from the naming names would have helped. To be honest, I was flabbergasted, angered, and incredulous that the edit was for "Trolling", I saw that word and it set me off like a rocket. I am a lot of things, but a troll is not one of them.

I appreciate that you sent the PM in a friendly manner, but I have been on line for over 15 years, dating back to my time in the Military using the alt net sites and WAN's for the military. My definition of a troll is vastly different than what was indicated by the edit. I have dealt with trolls as a moderator, admin, and member of other forums, and to be equated with that type of person, even if it was just in the edit, was a little bit too much for me.

I hold no ill will towards you, or the other mods, but I do not feel what I did was illegal, nor was it akin to trolling.
