this is clearly not the case. They enforce their arbitrary-ness from everything including banning and forum deletion.

Ain't that the truth. I had some real "A" material that LL deleted from the forums recently. It was part of a thread that may be an uncomfortable subject for some residents. God forbid someone may have to read something uncomfortable.
I think this is part of the 'distillation of achievables" process. It's LL's world, your imagination builds it and long as it doesn’t impact LL's bottom line it’s anything goes.
