Is icon shaming allowed on the boards?

I know you aren't allowed to rank shame, but am I allowed to completely and utterly yeet on someone if they have a clearly inferior, plebian icon equipped?

Is it a ranked icon (i.e. sneaky rank-shaming) or are you doing so in a fashion that insults or belittles them in a way that isn't obviously tongue-in-cheek? If so, then no.

Are you poking gentle fun at their CLEARLY inferior choice of, say, an out-dated, troll-faced minion with an axe when better options exist? Then sure. As long as we can tell you aren't trying to use someone's icon to insult them, belittle them, or imply something bad about them. :P

Your lion icon is clearly inferior, The Djinn. You should know better.

This lion's smug self-satisfaction is in a league of its own, and you know it!
