Before any of the written rules are presented, use your common sense. But before you act in game, use common sense and don't do anything stupid. What the staff member says about a rule - goes.
It has been said many times that if you are spamming Web Taunts excessively in this context, that it is considered trolling. The staff member in this case interprets it as trolling, which is a rule, and you can also link it into the rule about spam. Clear rules about this will be discussed in the LT meeting tomorrow, but as it stands, Ashur has done nothing wrong to punish for this.
