Moderator Abuse - Laughing Fish

Hello, I would like to report abuse of power from a specific moderator. Laughing Fish deleted three posts of mine today because he disagreed with my stance on a debate. I defended the right of free speech, saying that players should not be punished for in-game banter such as saying "GG EZ". I said that sensitive players should be separated into their own queue so that they can "report one another to their heart's content" while less sensitive players can enjoy a more lax environment without worrying about people being offended. While Laughing Fish has a right to disagree with my opinion, he does not have a right to delete posts which do not resort to name-calling and which have engaged in a civil discussion. His quoted reason for deleting the posts was a vague and subjective "Don't be a jerk." Please review this clear abuse of power. It is sad to see that Laughing Fish lacks the maturity required to maintain objectivity necessary to hold moderation power...

You literally said in your post;

PS. I only mention short-buses because I know it will offend the type supporting this thread.

That's the kind of behavior we don't need around here. If you're going to say something specifically with the intent to offend people, you're gonna get your comment removed.

To quote the answer I already gave on another thread to you:

You made references to mental disabilities as an insult, and you yourself said "I only mention short-buses because I know it will offend the type supporting this thread." So even you admit your comments were designed as bait. Your comments most likely deserved a ban, but I chose to be lenient and issue a warning to give you a chance to correct your behavior.

Yeah your post saying to separate players was titled something along the lines of "can we have a short bus queue?". If you can't see a problem with that, then you're hopeless.

First off the right of free speech does not apply to riot games. By accepting the terms and conditions you are agreeing to riots set rules to play the game. They do not have to continue to allow you to play the game if you do not abide by those rules. If you utilize your right to free speech to break the contract you signed from riot then they have the right to remove your permission to play the game.
