Hey mlm olo mlm,

We've recently removed your post for violating the Golden Rule on the Boards: "Don't be a jerk: Always be respectful to players, community members, moderators, and Rioters. Harassment and insults will not be tolerated".

Your removed content:

This game honestly feels like playing with "special needs" children. Don't you dare criticize the "mentally handicapped". Don't you dare take the game seriously. You are to stand and watch until they get bored.

EDIT: Now the moderators are going through my entire post history. Removing posts that have been there for days if not weeks.

This rewording would be appropriate:

"I feel like players who don't seem to take the game seriously have an out-sized impact on players who do take the game seriously, and we are restricted in how we express our displeasure at their playstyles."

No comparison of players to the mentally handicapped will be acceptable, nor will mocking the mentally handicapped.

I believe it’s properly-worded already. As in, deleted. Pure inflammatory bait.

Sounds like you were a tool that didn't provide any helpful content and were simply berating people.

There's no correct way to word what you said and it remain within the bounds of the board rules. The intent is pretty clear.

To be completely honest, at this point this post is just pointless --- all questions answered, multiple examples given, clear explanation of what the policy wants.... what else do you wish for man

If you ever taken any history class after elementary school, you will know

No one give a s*** about what you meant when you said something 'Cause what's important is what it sounds like to them and others, which makes wording so important in this world.

Your words were seen as possiblily offensive, so it is therefore removed from the board, simple as that.

Both your removals from today are from threads posted in the last day and they're both violations of the "please don't refer to other people as 'retards'" policy.
