From Morrus' twitter:
"Eeek. WotC has its lawyers send us letters about member posts now? I miss The Rouse!"
So what posts here does WotC have a problem with?

First Post
I would guess:
Any torrent ones mentioning WOTC in the same breath (oops, I did it)
Ones posting things verbatim from DDI or elsewhere
General anti-WOTC hater posts and posters (and we have a lot on this site)
5e (I had to say it, a moratorium on these would make me happy)
Nothing much important, overall, I would guess, and things the mods here already watch carefully.

Well, that's certainly unnerving.
I'm no lawyer, but I'm trying to imagine what sort of post could possibly cause WotC's legal department to send EN World a letter. I'm guessing one of these:
1) Libel - Someone wrote something nasty about WotC that they really didn't like.
2) Reproduced rules - Too much of a rule or rulebook was quoted in a post, or multiple posts.
3) Messing with their stuff - Maybe somebody discussed how to modify DDI files, or something similar that WotC sees as an action that could threaten their profits, albeit remotely.
That's all I can think of, but I'm sure there's something else that might have ruffled their feathers.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Morrus! ...and it was #2!

AH. Not cool.
Okay then! The twitter was a tad...dramatic.
No, it's just that I used to get a friendly email from The Rouse or someone rather than a letter from a lawyer. I just mentioned I missed the old approach. Not a big deal at all.

Hey, I'm with you 100% though. I know what kind of webforum I run. If somebody put whole swaths of 1e books up? Man I'd kill those posts without flinching. Doubly so if WotC sent the stark fist of removal.
(I never got communiques from The Rouse at any rate)
Well best of luck man.
