Restored

Directly from the CoC
"Harassing or Defamatory
This category includes both clear and masked language and/or links to websites containing such language or images which:

Insultingly refer to other characters, players, Blizzard employees, or groups of people
Result in ongoing harassment to other characters, players, Blizzard employees, or groups of people"

That is what I was able to find under the Code of conduct however Defamatory is alot differant than the word inflammatory wich was used.

I will post Tserics quote wich was on the shaman forum,

"The inflammatory threads violate the rules as have been long established. It's pretty simple logic why they would be deleted.

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the Code of Conduct and forum guidelines. "

Now in order to define both words.

in·flam·ma·to·ry /ɪnˈflæməˌtɔri, -ˌtoʊri/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[in-flam-uh-tawr-ee, -tohr-ee]
–adjective
1. tending to arouse anger, hostility, passion, etc.: inflammatory speeches.
2. Pathology. of or caused by inflammation

de·fam·a·to·ry /dɪˈfæməˌtɔri, -ˌtoʊri/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[di-fam-uh-tawr-ee, -tohr-ee]
–adjective containing defamation; injurious to reputation; slanderous or libelous: She claimed that the article in the magazine was defamatory.

If there is something on the Forum Code of Conduct regarding Inflammatory threads could I please be pointed that direction.

Btw I am posting this here due to the original quote from Tseric being posted on the shaman forum.

Current characters: Ktonos 70 druid, Restored 60 shaman, Yall 61 warrior,
Yowl 68 rogue, Track 60 hunter, Aenigma 50 pally all on uldum server oh and Restored 65 shaman on blackhand

Inflammatory posts often include personal attacks or inappropriate content, but what you are referring to would specifically fall under Spamming and Trolling:

Q u o t e:

This category includes:

* Excessively communicating the same phrase, similar phrases, or pure gibberish
* Creating threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest on the forums
* Causing disturbances in forum threads, such as picking fights, making off topic posts that ruin the thread, insulting other posters
* Making non-constructive posts
* Abusing the Reported Post feature by sending false alarms or nonsensical messages
* Numbering a thread, IBTL, TLDR, or any other fad statements

If a player is found to have been spamming or trolling, he/she will:

* Be given a temporary or permanent ban from the World of Warcraft forums, depending upon severity


Players can post discontentment but they should do so in a civil fashion. If we really removed all negative threads the forums would be vomiting sunshine, and I haven't seen that happen yet. ;)
