"Bro, I'm behind you 100%, however, as I'm sure you're aware, You'll get zero sympathy from these white knight low lives. Honestly, best thing to do is uninstall. I would but the competitive drive has given me some sort of addiction that's closer to crystal meth than just mere nicotine."
This was removed for it's reference to drugs... is this real life?
ModThe Djinn4 votesIt was removed for two reasons:
We've recently removed your post for violating the Golden Rule on the Boards: "Always be respectful to players, community members, moderators, and Rioters. Harassment and insults will not be tolerated". Comments like referring to other commenters as "white knights" is frankly only inflammatory. This comment was mainly removed for its references to drugs, which are prohibited in the Universal Rules.
While I think saying it was "mainly removed for its reference to drugs" is an oversight (as calling other board members "white knight low lives" is entirely inappropriate), we do have rules against drug references as well. I'll also point out that this was a friendly removal rather than something we took punitive action on and, given the insulting nature, it would have been appropriate to have taken punitive action. Something to keep in mind when looking at how you engage with other community members.
iChimp1 votesYou might think it's an oversight but not by me. By whoever on your team removed the post as thats what they said.
Declined2 votesI'd like to chip in, as we've had similar cases over on the EU boards.
Somewhat recently we had this case, you'll see that Eambo focused on one aspect and I focused on another, both viewpoints are completely valid in determining whether your content deserved removal, yet we both focused on different aspects.
That's what being humans are about, we focus on different aspects, sometimes we overlook details, other times we choose to keep the focus on the most egregious part, it varies from person to person.
The moderator in question may or may not have focused on every single aspect of your comment/thread which violated the different the rules over here, but they did deem it fair to remove based on the notification you've received.
Is moderation flawless? Absolutely not, the moderators are humans, and there's bound to be differences of opinion and even mistakes at some point. If you're asking if the removal of your content was a mistake, the answer is a clear and definitive no.

I'm aware it is not an oversight on your part, and I did not mean to imply that. I have already spoken with the moderator in question, as the insulting content of your post was definitely the more problematic concern.
