Okay, Ulanopo, You Told me to Reach Out.

So, Ulanopo deleted a comment I made for being rude and hostile. Pretty easy for a mod to find which one, and I agree, my intent was to be rude and hostile. What I want to know is, why did you leave the equally rude comment the other person made that started the whole damn thing in the first place? You delete my response, and leave the provocation?

According to Ulanopo, "(The) Golden Rule on the Boards: 'Always be respectful to players, community members, moderators, and Rioters. Harassment and insults will not be tolerated'." Which part of "So take your b.s. sexist metaphor somewhere else" sounds respectful to you? If you're going to censor insults, censor them all, not just the ones that offend you personally.

Here's the text of my comment, for those interested:

Ah, you're a snowflake...and you've drunk the kool-ade. Pathetic. Do you need a safe space? Did my opinions injure you, snowflake?

My information is for adults, not for fragile man-babies who get their opinions from John Oliver.

You know very little about how the world outside your safe space works...not surprising from an SJW. It's why you ultimately fail at everything you try to accomplish; your fundamental premise of thought is based off second-hand material. Logic has no place in a head as stuffed as yours. I won't waste even one more word on a person who gets colicky when made aware of his ignorance.

Toxic, huh? Now, here's the original (not the re-edited, slightly more reasonable version) text of their comment:

Not sure if you're a female or if you think that I'd be okay with one of the boys type of metaphor, but I'm not.

So take your b.s. sexist metaphor somewhere else.

But let me assume you're not sexist and you just used poor judgement.

I acknowledged the listening part. And the whole point of what I wrote is so anyone doesn't feel the need to rant because rant implies anger.

And who in the world thinks that because they post x on some random boaerd y that some random person will respond with a "there, there, (virtual Pat in the head) you're right all Yas players are insufrable and Eiit should delete the champ.. "

Warning- the internet's aren't just one big virtual echo chamber.

Sound respectful? Sound more like an insult? Sound like something you'd respond rudely to? Uh huh...gets worse if you read what it was in reply to. Up to this point, it was a perfectly civil discussion. Board Rules, Terms of Service, or Decrees From God...I will not allow someone to spit shit at me and not put them back in their place. Instead of reporting their comment, and hoping you deigned to do something about it (which you clearly would not have), I dealt with it myself. If that's a problem for you, you better just ban me from the Boards now. I don't get other people to do my fighting for me <Removed by Moderation>

The Universal Rules are oblivious to the concept of 'who started it.'

The raw fact of the matter is, the proper course of action would have been to report the offending comment, disengage, and walk away. The rules do not care about who, or how, a fight started, but with ending it. While I understand your frustration with regard to how timely some moderation actions may be, we are human, and we work to the best of our abilities to keep the Boards clean.

You made at least two comments that go against multiple parts of the rules, so a punishment was justified. You're continuing to post comments that are going against multiple parts of the rules, whilst simultaneously complaining that other people are breaking the rules.

Further, using political buzzwords is never okay on the Boards, so I've had to take a moment to edit your OP as well. If you continue doing this, you're very likely to encounter stronger punishments and restrictions to your Boards access, and there will be little to no recourse.

If you have questions, feel free to talk to us in the The Boards Moderation Discord or the Discuss the Boards sub-board.

Imo the comment you replied to was somewhere at the edge but not that negative that I'd say it's punishable while yours just went over that threshold and became offensive. So I'd say Ulanopo did a good job.

Oh great.

Another "but he started it!" post.

As if I haven't seen that a million times before.

Ulanpopo that guy who couldn't even find a player using op.gg? OR it might've been the other guy.

So let's unpack this a bit:

Here's what YOU said:

I find it hilarious that you're so dim, you can't tell the difference between a joke and a serious post...that's not even a sense-of-humor thing...that's an intelligence thing. You have a major deficit, and you're too dense to even realize it.

That's three insults in one post. Compare that to what you were responding to:

So take your b.s. sexist metaphor somewhere else.

That's calling out your argument as bullshit and sexist, which it was. It specifically wasn't calling you names. That's an important distinction. Put another way, it might be okay to say, "that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while." It's NOT okay to say, "only an idiot would think that."

Also, you might want to consider the other three removals you had today:

  • You spout off like a raging child. Had you bothered to check your comprehension of what I said, instead of getting triggered because I dared to say "female", you might have discovered there was nothing sexist about what I said. But that's not what SJWs do...you don't reason, you react...emotionally and irrationally, to words anyone can throw at you, at any time, to reduce you to a gibbering fool. If you think words hurt...wait until you spout off to the wrong person in the real world.
  • Too bad you think your opinion means anything...to anyone.
  • And it's really damned difficult to find those people if every bonobo with a keyboard is weighing in on the moral implications of...the food I dangled to attract the predators.

I could have quoted more from those posts and there are probably several additional posts we should have actioned, but we do try to be patient and not take the blowtorch to someone's history as a first response.

Ultimately, the use of the boards is a privilege and while you seem to think a self-diagnosed condition changes the appropriateness of how you use them, you are dangerously close to an escalated termination of those privileges. Simply put, an attitude of "i can talk down to ~90% of the posters because I don't consider them intelligent or even fully human" is corrosive to the marketplace of ideas we're looking to support. That sort of thing may be tolerated elsewhere, but it damned sure isn't allowed here.
