Hey mlm olo mlm,

We've recently removed your post for violating the Golden Rule on the Boards: "Don't be a jerk: Always be respectful to players, community members, moderators, and Rioters. Harassment and insults will not be tolerated". It doesn't absolve your behavior to quote the rules at someone else prior to using an insult to shame them publicly. You've been warned, many times. This will be the last warning.

Your removed content:

Moderators are volunteers. They personally choose to delete comments and lock threads. They volunteer to be a jerk.

Due to the severity of your actions, we have decided to issue a final warning and a 14-day suspension to your Boards account. During this time, you should take the time to review the Boards Universal Rules and applicable sub-board guidelines. Failure to adhere to these rules and guidelines will result in a permanent suspension of your Boards privileges.

If you have any questions about this moderation action, don't hesitate to reach out to the Boards Moderation Team via:

The NA Boards Discord The Discuss the Boards sub-board -- KnightsKemplar

Context for those that want it:

**"You've been warned, many times." ** Is a lie.

**"Due to the severity of your actions, we have decided to issue a final warning and a 14-day suspension to your Boards account." ** That means they thought the removed content was worthy of permanently banning me.

**"You've been warned, many times." ** Is a lie.

You have had content removed with warnings multiple times. I count twelve as of my check just now, not counting removals where multiple posts were removed at once. These are mostly for violations of the golden rule (there is one exception), detailed here:

"Always be respectful to players, community members, moderators, and Rioters. Harassment and insults will not be tolerated."

Please note the "and moderators." We actually tend to go much lighter on complaints and insults against ourselves, but when you have twelve prior warnings we're not as lenient.

"Due to the severity of your actions, we have decided to issue a final warning and a 14-day suspension to your Boards account." That means they thought the removed content was worthy of permanently banning me.

Not in and of itself. When taken into consideration with your previous warnings and the lack of a noticeable shift in behavior, yes. This is similar to how in-game bans escalate if sufficient reform is not shown.

I always find it confusing when people argue "the mods are so mean to me!" Let's take a quick stroll through some of the things you had removed:

Fuck me, moderators up my ass. Moderators are volunteers. They personally choose to delete comments and lock threads. They volunteer to be a jerk. You are full of shit. Delete your post and come back when you actually know something please. What if I make assumptions and interpretations that you are a %%%%%%%%%? (sexually assault children) Just keep making random, false, off topic, assumptions. I'm sure your friends will up vote you. That "special needs" kid is a lot like the average league player. Imagine that, the cucker doesn't have empathy for the cucked.

That's just a selection from among the things that were removed. It doesn't include all the times we let behavior pass. which is frankly something I have come to regret. Clearly, we haven't been getting through. If you can't use the boards in a polite and respectful manner, it would be better you didn't use them at all.

You're calling people who volunteer their time and effort jerks. You can disagree with them all you want but you're not offering any constructive criticism, you're just lumping them all together and insulting them.

"You've been warned, many times." Is a lie.

Except if you look at your boards profile and view your discussions, you have 3+ posts complaining about other posts that got removed. Not your first time being rude on the boards and being punished for it.

"Due to the severity of your actions, we have decided to issue a final warning and a 14-day suspension to your Boards account." That means they thought the removed content was worthy of permanently banning me.

Yeah, that's what happens when you're a repeat offender. You keep blatantly insulting the staff, community, or aspects of the game without offering any valid criticism. The boards staff generally don't tolerate this so it shouldn't be a surprise that you're coming close to a permanent ban for repeatedly breaking the same rule you've been told not to break multiple times.

At the end of the day, it is not up to an punished individual to dictate what is and what is not a rules violation. We're always willing to acknowledge that we sometimes make mistakes, but that does not mean that every argument will convince us, or that every thing a single individual takes umbrage with is an incorrect action. Upon review we have found that the OP is indeed in violation of the rules, as Ulanopo and I have reiterated in this thread, and that topic is not something to be brought up ad nauseam. At some point we have to make the call of "we understand that you disagree, but we have reviewed the situation and are confident that things were handled appropriately." In the interest of not running around in circles and wasting both the OP's time and our own, that point is now. I will be locking this thread.

inb4 they tell you to go to their discord where someone argues with you for 30 minutes before essentially telling you to fuck off

My stupid comments were removed like 5 times now. You will not be suspended for making a few mistakes. Now, continuing to make those mistakes, will result in a ban.

Which, i guess, will happen to me too, but whatev's
