You sure you didn't hide it? Did you ask the community manager? That's a pretty big accusation, that I find hard to believe. Ove Bern here a long God damn time and have never seen such a thing.
Hundred percent sure. In fact this second post was actually hidden by staff (But the original content was removed, equating to the exact same thing as deleting it). The community blog admin moderator seems to think its ok to delete absolutely anything he wants without repercussions.
Odd... if there was copyright infringement (ie: you used copyrighted images that Trion owns and you didn't ask permission to use them) then I can understand that Dtoid might be under a legal obligation to remove the blog in question. Otherwise, Dtoid has allowed for blogs critical of games and even of their own site (including advertisements on the site).
... but I see that Andy is already here and ready to address your concerns! Pretty good customer service!

@Elsa
Both pictures used in both blogs were the same ones here (IE: Advertising images currently not being used for Ad revenue/a public domain picture of their facebook easily searchable) and suggesting that loosely saying things about the games balance like "The balance is arbitrary and the winner is decided basically randomly in fights" is hardly infringing any copyrights as that can be eventually said about anything.
The core issue here is that Trion hates bad press and will go through illegal means to take down anything that hurts the name of their precious game including sending fake legal mumbo-jumbo to staff that may not know how to properly handle the situation.
@Phil
Because It was taken down against their policy (Which they are not allowed to do) therefore it is my right to replace it. I don't rant and rave often but as much as I enjoy reading Mr. Dixons stuff and like that he reads my blog at times it more than slightly irritating to have not received an email regarding either issue on time of take down.
@Andy
Trust me, I looked. No email exists. Trion served you a fake notice because if they actually made a legal claim they would get in so much trouble.

I can see why you might feel like this was a dick move, but not how it would be illegal. It's their sire, you are essentially a guest in their home. They can legally delete anything they want, yes?
You would be surprised how confusing digital rights have become with the evolution of the internet, Legend. This whole mess is a tangled weave of "he saids" and "she saids". Net law is generally odd.
Oh I can agree with that. Also, just to avoid any potential confusion, I was referring to Dtoid deleting something from their/our site.
As far as Trion, it sounds there could be something genuinely sketchy going on with their side of things. Gotta be honest though, I don't think your choice of headline is helping you make your point.
