Thanks! Darn I guess I'll have to math it out myself later if I have time. Gonna cross my fingers and hope somebody has the link the the post I'm thinking of.
Holy shit after a bunch of google-fu I found it!

The Premise
Anyone who has spent 5 minutes on the Player Behavior board knows that a pretty consistent complaint is that trolls, or players who intentionally attempt to make their own teams lose, are not caught fast enough by Riot. Maybe they're right. Let's take a look.
In 2014, League of Legends had 27 Million daily players. I think it's safe to assume this number has grown, but we'll use it as a baseline so that we'll have a conservative estimate.
Now, let's assume that each player only played one game each (obviously not the case). That means 2.7 Million games per day.
Now let's assume that a player is reported for trolling in a tiny 1% of games (Again, super conservative). That means 27,000 reports per day.
Trolling rarely can be determined by stats or speech, because anyone with half a brain can pretend to be trying to win, while actually trying to lose. So let's estimate that reviewing a match and exacting punishment takes 5 minutes (Again, it probably takes closer to 30 minutes, but we're being super conservative here.) That means it takes a whopping 2,250 hours per day to review all of the reports.
In order to employ such a team, Riot would need to employ a team of 282 employees full time. At minimum wage of 7.25/hour, that's a cost of $4.25 Million a year.

In the mean time is there any discussion of having the boards search function upgraded to something more usable? It would be nice if we could search for posts between certain time-frames or search based on text in the body of it rather than just the title.
Also while I was searching "hiring" it found me posts with the word "hiding" in the title. It would be nice to be able to turn on and off the character replacement matching.
