"Hey UnwardiI,

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:

The problem is actually not that women are under-represented in gaming.

The problem is ever so much deeper than that.

The problem is that there are a radical set of activists out there, let's just call them SJWs as a catchall term, who actually think that they can re-write human biology through social engineering. That's what's going on here, make no mistake. They aren't a majority of the people at Riot, they are just a noisy few, who, unfortunately have been given control of the HR department, because that's where they can pull the strings and they don't care about gaming, in fact, they hate it, which is why they are trying to destroy it. [...]

Labeling people you disagree with as "massive narcissistic psychopaths" is not acceptable on the boards.

As a result of your actions, we have decided to suspend your Boards account for 24 hours. At this time, we ask that you take the time to review the Boards Universal Rules and applicable sub-board guidelines. Future violations may result in further restrictions to your Boards privileges.

If you have any questions about this moderation action, don't hesitate to reach out to the Boards Moderation Team via:

The NA Boards Discord The Discuss the Boards sub-board"

You silly fools, I read your terms of service and I didn't break them, even though you didn't include the offending part of my post so there's no proof left but I'll go through it shall I?

First of all, if an individual is being a "massive narcissistic psychopath" how would you like me to express that sentiment in a more board-friendly tone. Because that's what you're doing here, it's completely blatant tone policing and it's obvious. Calling someone a narcissist isn't an insult, it's my evaluation of their character. It's a very good word. Same with psychopath. However, these are your boards and if you don't appreciate psychiatric language being used, I guess who am I to disagree.

But the fact is, you're simply wrong, because I didn't direct those comments towards any individual. That's what it says in the terms of service. Don't be a Jerk to any players, community members, Rioters etc. Well I didn't. Not that I agree with you that calling someone who is behaving narcissistically a narcissist is being a Jerk to them. I call it being honest, but hey, if you thought that was how you should treat people YOU disagree with, you wouldn't have removed my post now would you?

Put the post back. It wasn't against any code of conduct on any level.

From the Universal Rules: "Do not post or engage in discussions of religion, ethnicity/race, sexual orientation, gender, politics, or real-world social issues."

Tone aside, the content of the post is not okay. It will not be restored.

Additionally, "Do not post content intended to insult, belittle, disrespect, or intentionally offend other community members as individuals or as groups." Insulting language directed at a group instead of an individual is still not allowable.

There isn't just one problem. Don't oversimplify things. SJW culture is only one side of things, there are problems on other sides of things as well.

Historically, “preaching repentance” has not led to positive outcomes for the speakers.

Even if your post wasn’t belittling, you’d get the same results.
