Why are mods removing posts related to Hong Kong

Magnesium14··3 votes·3,402 views

The mods claim its not related to the game but it is. The mods say they make some exceptions. Disliking rito supporting hong kong is apparently somehow not an exception. The mods say this causes debates. What debates? Its like trying to claim Hitler is a god. Its not a debate, its someone making a fool of themselves. I didn't know mods were paid by China too.

Politics are not allowed on the boards. It's very clear. Hong Kong is clearly about politics and has nothing to do with LoL. It has no place on this board.

As I said the rules state exceptions can be made Hong Kong is political but does relate to the game, as I said Hong Kong Attitude a LoL e sports team is clearly getting unfairly treated, most specifically by casters.

The only theoretical exception would be if Riot themselves were taking a stance on it, it's theoretically possible mods might loosen the restrictions for that.

Making a post about HKA will be fine. Talk about how they are doing as an esport team or how bad a flash was and you will keep your post.

Talk about HKA being oppressed by Tencent or China, or something related to Hong Kongs current issues and it will be removed. I'm sure you are able to decipher between the 2.

This useless banter is not meant for the boards, there is no need for an exception.

To prove how useless HK is to League. If it was to disappear tomorrow. League would be 99.9% unaffected. The game would continue the player base in Asia would drop slightly and League would proceed as normal. So no, HK does not relate to the game.

Also there is plenty of instances of HK being used in cast and on the Divephoria.

It is related to the game, as Hong Kong Attitude is an esports team being biased against. This is not necessarily related to China's oppression.

Discussions relating to Hong Kong inherently violate our rules against political and social discussions. Similarly, we don’t allow discussions about an individual mentioned in this post, and if you continue to violate our rules, we will suspend your account, full stop.

How the fuck does it have anything to do with the game?

Politics are forbidden unless they directly relate to the game. The most recent case would be Net Neutrality, which was inarguably related to League and its ability to continue to function. I fail to see how Hong Kong is on that degree at all.

Its related to the e sports LoL scene, as Hong Kong Attitude is being unfairly treated. Lets say you live in Canada (I don't where you live literally used random country generator) Someone lists of all countries and then says Canada, sorry I mean CDN. It would be unfair. Affects the pro scene as bias against a team is detrimental, it currently hasn't affected the team but the bias raises many concerns.

You mean the thing that happened for a single day, then Riot said "No we never actually said to do that, 'Hong Kong Attitude' is fine and doesn't need to be shortened".

It was literally for one game at the start of it.

Their are montages of multiple casters correcting them self mid sentence. Rito is obviously involved, they have never been good liars.

Theres also numerous instances this morning of casters saying Hong Kong Attitude.

The posts are getting removed because theyre irrelevant off-topic low-quality posts.

Only after the mass criticism. This is why these posts were important.

Obviously it couldn't possibly be a decision specific caster's made because they felt uncomfortable about it. Just because they get the greenlight to not shorten it, doesn't mean all of them will feel comfortable doing so.

Don't forget that Riot is owned by a massive Chinese company called Tencent.

The mods aren't tho. Rito does not monitor the mods at all. The mods can actually support humanity.

Just because you believe in a certain political conspiracy theory doesn't mean anyone else does, and neither does it mean that it isn't political.

Conspiracies usually don't have evidence to support themselves.

And that is why I labeled it a conspiracy theory.

Well that is a very hypocritical statement, a typo maybe?

Literally the only reason you're posting about Hong Kong is in an effort to get League/Riot banned in China. People are doing the same thing to Blizzard, Disney, and other companies.

You're not doing anything to help HK by spamming the boards. You're just trying to start shit, and that's not welcomed here.
