just out of curiosity,
why exactly is naming and shaming disallowed? as long as they have proof I don't see what the harm in it is tbqh.

Not everything on the internet is true?
Cause if a person does bad in a game, they dont want to get friend requests of flame because some beta subhuman made a post about it.
That's another thing, I don't think rito wants the boards to be filled of "Watch out for xXyaSuoMayNe420Xx, he fed in my game"
because you're encouraging mob justice and that's a bad idea
even if the person you're "calling out" is actually guilty, none of us actually have the right to punish them; posting their name will achieve nothing except make you feel all righteous, and potentially starting a witch hunt (more toxicity), whereas reporting them properly can get them banned.

The "Naming and Shaming" rule exists because the boards are for players, and players have no way to verify what you're saying is true.
- You're a player in League of Legends called "Ben"
- Something happens and someone doesn't like you
- That someone comes to the boards. "'Ben' is a feeder and said he wished my family would die", etc. etc.
- Boards take what you say at face value
- Ben now gets harassed by a bunch of players even though they did nothing wrong
Does posting on the boards result in action being taken? No. That's what the report system is for.
Does posting on the boards and naming and shaming someone add any positive value? No.
