Can a game prohibit anyone in SL from posting their experience in "picks"?

[BrookeRanger]

I have been notified that unless I remove my pick about negative experiences in a linden game, I will be banned for defamation. My question is, if the post is based on true experiences, it is not slandering or defamation. Can a game ban players for posting their experiences? Can anyone force SL members to post only what they judge to be favorable to them?

Not that it matters much anyway, anyone can keep playing in alters in spite of a misleading "anti alts security" ad. But can anyone require someone else to remove picks from personal profiles?

Thanks

Unless it was a Linden employee who told you to remove it, I wouldn't worry about it.  People post negative comments about LL and SL in the forums and those are allowed for the most part.  

ETA...looking at your profile and the game you're discussing, the operators of that particular game may and can ban you from their land.  It's a traffic boosting game run on privately owned land.  Any land owner can ban you for any reason.

Thank you.
Not that it matters that much to me, I just find it comical that someone could coerce a private account to not post a negative statement about a personal experience as opposed to slandering. But such is SL...

My pick stays.
