When you clearly have valid proof and some kind of sane argument i don't see why such a thread shouldn't be allowed. This is a perfect thread showing how unprofessional this hosted server is. That's far from illegal in my opinion and all players should be informed.

It is too easy to fake "valid proof". I am sure this is partially the reason behind the rule. Not to mention the forums would be full of "so and so did this to me", and "so and so did that to me", people posting stuff out of anger because they got in trouble. We all know how it goes, and how ugly it can get, and it's not always valid no matter how it seems.
It isn't fair to drag people and playerworlds through the mud, and then find out later that it was completely bogus. The damage is already done, and there are times when people/playerworlds are trashed needlessly, and that follows them like a bad smell forever.
This thread was questioning if Endora was hosted, and was good information to disclose that the pwa did not inspect it, and was not the cause of it being hosted, and also good info from people playing and showing that it should not be hosted because of issues, but there is a fine line between discussing why a PW should or should not be hosted, and outright bashing people or the playerworld.
The issues of staff abuse, and whatever do not belong on the forums, but rather in a support ticket so that the correct officials can check into the alligations, it does not belong on the forums.
I do, however, believe that there should be a section where the pwa, globals, admins, etc...should be able to post warnings to other PW owners/managers, and players about certain things they should be aware of. It should not be put into the players hands to do so...too many people do things out of spite, and too many times the info is false or highly exagerated.
To have a section where warnings are posted that have been proven true by higher ups as a warning to others is probably a good idea.
