Board banned by accident?

So I'm not going to say 'mod abuse' yet, because I don't know if it was a mistake.

I recently got a 1-day ban, because of a comment that didn't break the Universal Rules in LITERALLY any possible way.

Here it is: ''Yeah, they don't. Only cowards hide under fake accounts. It's not my problem if you are insecure and have self esteem issues.''

Hiding under a fake account is LITERALLY being a coward, insecure and to have self esteem issues. It's pretty much the definition of that and a fact (not an opinion). There is no arguing about it.

I thought that smurfs are treated the same way as toxic players and hackers, who all ruin the game for others. All of them are unapproved by most of the playerbase and Rioters. But I see a lot of posts calling those by A LOT worse words and not by facts (only negative opinions).

I see that smurfs could find that offensive, but that would be highly hypocritical since there is a lot of posts and comments that are FAR more offensive but not deleted even when reported.

A quick example I found about a suicide joke, which is pretty offensive to people who suffer from depression like me: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/memes/938Aj5Re-when-garen-or-darius-notices-the-enemy-team-completing-multiple-frozen-malletes

I know a player whose entire boards profile is based on attacking a certain group of people and he is not getting any kind of treatment (but I'm not linking it because it would break the Universal Rules).

I feel like the mod who banned me did it just because he didn't like the facts in my post that the comment was under like the 20+ people who downvoted it for some reason, but that's just my theory.

Thank you for your time.

I took a look, and it appears that you were not banned just for the one harassing comment towards another individual, but because you've had several other removals of the same type. We do escalating punishments here just like in the game; if you are told not to do something and you keep doing it, we move from a warning to a temp ban, to longer temp bans, and finally to a permanent one.

Also note that the ''It's not my problem if you are insecure and have self esteem issues.'' was not targeted at the player I was replying to but to people who intentionally ruin the game by smurfing.
