I was in the middle of having an informative discussion, and a mod came along and infracted me (then banned me) because he disliked my opinion, and now after the dust has settled and the real trolls (who the mod did not ban) lost interest, my points have been validated:
Example:

No, that's not trolling as the "infraction" claims and it's not in violation of any rule. The claim that I was "deliberately spreading misinformation" was totally bogus, and yet I get banned for trying to provide HELPFUL information to other players based on my actual in-game experiences.
WTF kind of place are you running here if you're going to allow trolls to heckle people who have DIFFERENT takes, and then ban the person with the different ideas claiming that he or she is "trolling" while allowing the real trolls to continue spewing nonsense and actual misinformation to confuse players? Totally ridiculous.
Your moderators should not be interjecting themselves into discussions as participants and then banning people they disagree with. That's essentially what's going on. When your mods step out of line, they themselves need to be reprimanded or they'll only do worse. I'd like those bogus infractions cleared from my account...and the ones where I am accused of flaming is a response to trolls who were allowed to do nothing other than troll for on and on without consequence. Once again, that same moderator was not doing their job by allowing trolls to stifle the conversation.
