I want if possible for some mod to quote what exactly** I did **that was toxic and required the thread to be locked. Note I'm not asking for it to be opened again or anything like that -- I just want a Mod to show me what replies I did that were toxic specifically.

Hey DeadUnborn,

I'll be locking this thread due to the toxic back-and-forth with other players.

The OP is fine, but the way you are handling comments is clearly creating a problem, so I'm shutting that down.

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to visit us on the Discuss the Boards sub-board or our Discord server.

Yeah but I want to know what specifically. I replied to a lot of people there. Without context how do I know what is supposed to be toxic and what isn't?

use your brain... if it sounds insulting/dickish its probably toxic

That is the thing, I never insulted anyone that I can recall. I did have a drawn-out debate with one dude. However I never attacked him personally, I just defended my point

I mean it is a long thread, but if you were to go look through it you probably wouldn't find anything

Ah, you did make a thread here already.

Sorry, can be tough to see this stuff exactly when it gets posted. Specifically, it was the thread with HalcyonDweller that led me to lock it up.

This comment is where it starts going really downhill. As a mod, it can be really difficult to follow and remove comments for an entire thread like that, and it can be difficult to discern exactly where things went off the rails.

The use of the emote, in that comment, felt particularly patronizing to me; you could have easily walked away from the conversation at that point, but instead it continued in a way that seemed incredibly bothersome, at least to HalcyonDweller. Telling someone that their points are redundant is pretty clearly off-topic imo. There's a lot of people that like to think this is a debate team practice, but it isn't.

The point of the Boards is to discuss the game. When that stops happening (and we see reports on comments), that's when we step in. I locked it because I cede that there wasn't anything truly awful going on there; perhaps "toxic" was too strong a word. But it was clear to me that the conversation wasn't going anywhere, and it seemed like it was headed for a bad situation, so I made the call to lock it. The call was easier considering you were the only two still talking on that thread. Does that make sense?

Well, I wasn't planning on replying to that person as we were just going on about in circles anyhow. I rather "learn" what I did wrong. While I agree that comment could be patronizing depending on how you read it, my intention with the emote was to make it "less rude". I disagree calling someones point redundant if it has an explanation for it

Therefore I find your points redundant, since they are only explaining situations in which you are a much skilled xerath player facing less experienced Yasuo players

However I see how some people may feel like they are getting attacked if someone uses language like that. I'll think about that in the future to seem more friendly for people that could get offended by it

To be fair, the person I was discussing with was rather thin-skinned as he wrote this previously

Got it. I won't waste any more of your time. Seeya.

And afterwards, I did try to put the conversation back on topic as I was having fun with it. I agree there might have been a way to do that without having the person be hurt by it, although in my culture people don't get easily offended with those sorts of comments ** Anyhow thanks for the clarification**
