Maybe this is really nit-picky but it's bugging me.

@ZOS_JR has been posting this, "We understand that people will disagree from time to time, but we ask that trolling, insulting, and spam are not acceptable behavior on the ESOTU forums."

Why is ZOS asking us if trolling is acceptable? Shouldn't that read something like "but trolling, insulting, and spam are not acceptable behaviors on the ESOTU forums."

    Oh they could change it, but it would require an 8 hour maintenance outage, two further patches to correct the new grammatical errors the initial change introduced, and it would screw up the loading screen times...

    And then someone would scream for "acceptable" to be nerfed :(
