OOookay. Let's break this down bit by bit.
No name-shaming,
Calling someone a white knight is not name-shaming, correct. However, that's about as relevant to this as "Don't spread malware".
no bad words
Boards don't care about bad words unless you break the zero-tolerance filter. People here don't care about swearing. Nobody outside of fucking Roblox or grandparents gives a flying fuck about swearing.
just a polite opinion (answering to another previous comment) on how someone is actually very suspiciously as a so-called "White Knight", which doesn't sound to me as an offence whatsoever.
Calling someone a white knight is literally an insult. It's also incredibly derailing to any topic at hand, because you turn it from an actual argument into a fucking ad hominem.
Meanhile, you can swear, curse
Exactly. See statement number 1.
and trash talk on the Boards
Nope. You cannot trash-talk someone. Not directly. I can say "Every tristana I've ever had on my team recently escaped from the zoo", or even "Jesus fucking christ my last tristana was absolutely fucking useless". But if I say "DawnTheAbsol is terrible at the game and should uninstall because he's garbage", if that wasn't my alt that'd be punished. That's trash talking.
(eg.: circlej-rk,
Circle-jerk is not trash talking. It's related to a sexual act, but in 99% of instances it's used now, it's just pointing out how you're metaphorically carrying out that act.
f-ck,
#Literally nobody cares if you say fuck. It's the internet. It's not a 12 year old's Minecraft server. It's a fucking forum for a Teen-rated game. There are literally champions that swear in-game, why would the mods care if you swear here? Why would anyone care if you swear here?
idi-ts...). And nothing happens.
See statement number 5. "Tristana mains are idiots" is fine. "DawnTheAbsol is an idiot" is not. "Stop being an idiot, this is the actual thing" is probably fine, although that'd probably depend on other factors.
This is so depressing
It's depressing because you can't derail a conversation and try to discredit someone's argument on the sheer basis that they agree with the person you're attacking?
and as I've already said, when a game goes downhill
League going downhill or dying OMEGALUL. Were you one of the people saying Fortnite would kill League? Or PUBG would kill it? Or some other fad that's already died out would kill it?
the other services related to it (like these Boards) do the same too.
