User Wuks Why Was I Warned?

MysterQ·8/21/2017, 10:24:01 PM·1 votes·229 views

Where do I go to discuss a warning on the forums? Not sure on an easy way to pm.

There was a thread someone complaining about his ban, where he says some words. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-discussion/gVVHFHtX-i-got-yet-another-14day-for-a-single-game-with-7-lines-of-chat-lmao So I jokingly said "just say them backwards."

I was not using them in the context of insulting anyone. You can say that I "used" them backwards. Maybe you can say I was inciting something or helping people evade filters. But I was not using the word, so my warning makes no sense. Maybe someone else reported it, but the comment was not directed at anyone. And plenty of other people have said some of the phrases in that thread itself. So all of those posts should then also be removed.

Violation: Being offensive towards other players This isn't even in the Universal Rules that I was quoted as violating? Outside of possibly the Golden Rule, where does it even say you can't be offensive towards other players (not that I was even commenting towards a player).

To inquire about any moderator actions it is best to join the boards moderation discord channel and ask in the appropriate channel.

Here is a link to a thread explaining how the channel works and what you must do to be added to it:

Even joking about using hate speech isn't appropriate on the Boards. Certain words may be okay used in a neutral context to explain why behavior isn't okay, but when you jokingly say, "hey, here's how you can use hate speech and get away with it" (paraphrased), that's when your content crosses a line.
