UPDATE: 

Thanks to a vigilante Drozana player, we now have a list of TOS violations committed by Starfleet Dental and friends. 

 I am writing this email *sorry for the long length* to give specific examples of Starfleet Dental and the terms and rules that they violate.  This is not a finalized list.  This will simply state what they do and the ToS rules that they violate.  I am writing you with the permission of ****.
