Moderation is INCREDIBLY draconian

{quoted}

It's impossible to answer this question in any meaningful way because it's leading and starts with a subjective, unsubstantiated opinion.

Sigh, if I make a detalied chart with examples with how each year became more draconian, would you admit that you and all other moderators that contradict me were completely wrong and that you were being intellectually dishonest? I am willing to put in the work but what would be the point if you do not acknowledge it?

Anyone that has been here since the beginning of the old forums down to the modern draconian boards knows that this is axiomatic.... I can prove it, but I don't want to because it's a lot of work for something we already know is true.

In an effort to comply, however, I will note that you have used the term "draconian" with regard to moderation, both in and out of game, for much longer than there have been volunteer moderators.

That is not a salient point. Moderation has existed since before people were accepted as volunteers, you know this.

This makes it difficult to have any sense of what you mean by the change.

I was very clear that I am stating that moderation has become extremely more strict over time. I am not sure what part of this you are having difficulty understanding, as you say.

It feels as though what you really mean to say is you don't understand the criteria used as a basis for moderation and that frustrates you, for which you have my sympathy.

Absolutely wrong.

"Misconstrued" is yet another attempt at negative framing. Anything that is construed as a personal attack is a violation. There's a difference.

Calling a red door red is not an insult or an attack, and yet if someone dislikes that or their feelings are hurt, moderation takes it as a green light to execute their power over users. As you have access to the deleted comments of mine; I had a post recently deleted for self-censorship, the word [word] was apparently "offensive".

There is your example right there.

Absolutely. Rank-shaming

Stop you right there and , although I know that you are part of the extreme draconian system, I will be frank for one brief instance; Calling a bronze bronze is not "Shaming", it is a statement of fact. Bronze Chaos is the absolute worst bracket in the entire game, I did not make it this way, Riot did.

People that are , as someone else has said, at the smack dab bottom of the barrel, are not there by accident. Pointing this out has nothing to do with "Emotions", it is objective fact.

Profanity is almost always unacceptable

That one I'll grant that I have never been censored because of profanity.... I don't use profanity in that manner anyway.

So I will withdraw that one , ironically it's the only one you admit to being ultra draconian to.

when it comes in the form of hate speech

"Hate speech" ? I don't know when the boards became Tumblr but it honestly went undetected by me or else I would have said something much sooner.

or personal attacks.

I get many , MANY personal attacks, I don't know if you have logs on the people that I myself report, but you will find no shortage of people directly insulting me... only about half have their comments deleted.

So where is the "almost always unacceptable"?

I'm going to feel safe in assuming you don't have any examples of situations where something like this was left up. Just remember, anecdotes are not data.

You want me to provide grand scale data from deleted posts ? perhaps you should realize that I do not have full access to the statistics that Riot has.

Could you perhaps clarify what you mean here? Can you perhaps share an example?

Refer to prior example.

The word [word] was considered "offensive" and my comment was deleted. Ironically, I strongly believe the moderator thought that I was using it in place of the word "Retarded" but I was actually using it in place of the word "Bronze".... which makes it both funny and sad.

I believe the line was "Poe's law. At this point I don't know if you are trolling or legitimately [Word]."

My intent was to refer to Bronze Chaos but again I strongly believe that moderation believed I was using it in place of "Retarded" which I did not, I would even challenge moderation to ever find an instance of me calling someone a "Retard", I wouldn't, I don't.... BRONZE on the other hand I've used thousands of times, which was , what I thought was clearly , the intent.

[Inb4 hyper draconian moderation bans me for using the word "Retard" despite using it in a context where I am surmising what the belief of a moderator was in place of a substitute [word] within a post... in other words, even examples used in context will be used against me]

My point is, I am VERY disappointed that not a single moderator answered the question, but it doesn't matter, in a way you've already answered.... you are in agreement with the draconian system and are strictly anti-human interaction. That's fine, I will always play by the rules, but I remember a time when interaction was far more free-form. This current system is garbage and I hope one day, you are all replaced with people that value liberty of expression [Inb4 conflation with "Freedom of speech", these two things are not the same, at least the concepts mean very different things in my country and yours]

I would think that mini moderators would be required to at least read the original post... I went out of my way, editing the original post to provide 5 different examples of the draconian nature I am talking about. Your post was made after the edit as well....

It's really not a long post, I highly recommend you read it before responding.

If I may ask, can you be more specific on what Boards Sections do you feel moderation is doing wrong?

I dislike the distraction/red herring you are performing .... it would be nice if you at least addressed my point before changing the subject but very well; The board subsection being primarily addressed in this instance is "Gameplay board subsection" and secondarily about "Player behavior (and ex moderation) board" subsection.

Now, could you at least answer my question ?

Well that's lovely.

At this point I will point out that I've had posts deleted for much, MUCH less than the above quoted. I've literally had posts deleted (and my account threatened) for using the term [Word]. Nice one Riot moderation.

At bare minimum some consistency in the hardcore censorship would be nice.

Free speech does not apply in any capacity in this game.

That's not how that works
