Why is this the only community in the world where...

Why is the only community I have ever been apart of that stating facts, or having a cross conversation with a friend is BM ( TOXIC )?

I have played this game longer then most. Most people think the game is only 5 years old, that should explain my veteran status. This community once upon a time, clearly too long ago flourished. Both player and Riot benefited from each other. They answered question personally, promptly, and had accountability for who they where and wanted to be. Had i known what I know now, i would have stopped playing a long time before I spent the money on it. I don't see what they dictated as future goals accomplished, no yet. I see backwards progression, as the community cries for help. The people in charge of telling their bosses about these, do not. So everything goes un noticed. This is the only thing i can think of, because when league first started out they had a heart and soul.

I have in the past suffered from from " TOXIC " behavior. I freely use words that are meaningless. ( Only the person who is racist, finds words racist. Racism is learned, and empowered by the ignorant. Words are meaningless without someone to put power to them ) I have defended my country in combat, and earned my freedom of speech. More then most human beings will every experience. I make a stand on honorable things, and live my life based on it. No man is worth a dime without his honor, integrity, and honesty.

My point being, in the past I did have an issue with " TOXIC " behavior in game. I had since muted cross chat, and said bare minimal things. I am human, from time to time when someone dies 12 times in 13 mins, and I am perfect farm with 2 kills...WHO WOULDN'T TEAR INTO THAT SCRUB? However we are getting closer to my point now.

On a consistent biases i have been getting reported for having conversation.  I don't "BM" kids and have actually been making it a point to say...

" Im not trying to BM you, i am trying to talk strat and maybe help you learn" things of this nature.

What am I reported for now?

Stating facts. Talking strats.
" Hey Yasu, had you not dived and fought with us we could have turned, and then takin a tower" " Can you please position right?" "Will you please buy wards, so you can get out without dying." " GGWP "

The issue at hand here is the word " TOXIC ". How is someone not on TILT sitting their saying "Will you please buy wards, so you can get out without dying." . Going to consistently be reported by the people who are on TILT for you saying "Will you please buy wards, so you can get out without dying.". Its a hypocritical situation to say the least. If a person with a brain, and time to think things through looks at this ( YOU SINCE YOUR NOW HERE...) you will see that clearly the wrong people are consistently punished.

  • Another kicker most League players DON'T know and should.
    ( Blocked people, can still access everything you've said and done. )

Why would someone mute/block a person? My block list is approaching 2000 combined. So my reasons... -Bad player -BOT -SPAMER -BM -Protect myself

Little did I know until recently, that even if you BLOCK/MUTE someone they are still able to access and see EVERYTHING YOU DO.

What fucking sense does that make? Been tested verified and have a 161 IQ... I can't make any sense of this. Its like getting a restraining order, then having the police give all your info to the restrained.

For my own protection, I have identified if i don't mute/block this person it will place my account at risk. I have just showed MASSIVE restraint and care for my account. How ever, they are still allowed to troll, report, and access me? So I have now taken the steps RIOT says i need to to protect my account...but what did I accomplish? Nothing I am still 100% at risk.

I lurk in HELP & SUPPORT 5-6 days a week. Few weeks ago, a huge sweep of website came out for holiday rp.
I was apart of this sweep, attempting to answer questions and inform people " NO SUCH THING AS FREE ". I looked into the site "RiotPromotions" . Was best looking FAKE RP site too date. You had to access the very very fine print to find this out. The average human being doesn't do this. When a web designer is designing a site he keeps this in mind. ( 12 seconds ) In those 12 seconds you the user will decide if your going to do anything, or just x out the page.

I asked a DIRECT question, to a mod and in response to an already posted thread. I received no answers, nor the thread starter. We instead received a INSTANT ban for ACCOUNT PHISHING or some bs. ( UPLOADED PICTURE FOR THEIR EXTENT OF REASONING ) I got on another account, and made the same post talking direct shit to the mod who bans people for SEEKING GUIDANCE in the HELP&SUPPORT section. Needless to say I got myself another ban. Nothing aggravates me more in this world then SMALL PEOPLE ABUSING such insignificant power. After a few days of being bounced around in their support system I got myself un banned...Because it was clearly a false ban. I had made a stink about how RIOT staff about how they rather then educate their community would rather SHOOT then ask questions later.

A week after the site starts getting people banned and there are daily posts of people asking " IS THIS REAL". Someone finally PINS ( LINK1) to the top of boards. You have to actually CHOSE to go to the boards front page. If your like me, you have the section you want and you GO. How ever it was not the mods who wanted to pin the board, it was the community asking! If you go and read the holiday scam awareness, tell me what information provided their answers any direct question. It doesn't guide you to stay away from specific things that are clearly an on going issue to date. Instead its a modest attempt at displaying intelligence. " I made a post, with links to a place where someone else actually did work." Yet that guy is a mod...

( LINK2) Is what started all this adolescent behavior. To date, I have seen people banned for asking direct questions to mods regarding this site.
( Three days ago, I watched one MOD reply and answer the question. Another MOD then came along and banned the user/ deleted the thread. " Even Riots mods are grabbing for power from one another") Before the 2nd MOD had come along I humbly posted letting the user know they where about to be banned. This issue started WEEKS ago. Riots board staff made little effort to educate and stop the title wave of information.

Look at the VIEW DIFFERENCE between the 2 boards. Over 30k Difference. Look at the fact people are ASKING for the board to be pinned. Mods are not taking steps to educate or protect their community. They are attacking it. Peace filled plea's for help are answered with the harshest means possible. I don't know what happened to this community but we used to work for each other. Now its clear we are targeted by un educated people, refusing to educate. I used to MOD/REF/Manage for MLG GameBattles as a teenager. This is not how you run a community of people who love a game. This is how you ruin it. I would never have taken the approach our "LEADERS" chose to use.

Catch more bees with honey.

3 points, discuss.

I appreciate you reading through.

While I agree with your points. I have to question the boasted 161 IQ, seeing the excessively weak formatting, multiple grammatical errors, and a handful of syntax/spelling errors. Just putting that out there, you can't exactly make such a brazen statement and yet in the same post show that it was a fairly clearly fallacious claim.

Honestly If they did give 2 F's about there community they would fix alot of things. its about money though, LCS makes then advertising dollars. In-game store makes cash from players, why fix it if your making hand over fist with a broken poorly moderated product? Kinda like Mcdonalds, selling you trashy food cuz you'll buy it.

You have 3 different points in a giant wall of text.

From experience, no one is really going to discuss this all in the same post as it is both ramble-y and condescending, not to mention poorly formatted. You spoke at one point on what average users do. I don't think you can even find point 2 in less than 12 seconds, much less point 3.

My advice is to let this post die and give each point a home in their own thread. The OP is the both the best and most important time to format well, as this is the first thing people see. If the average user sees an un-formatted wall o' text ahead, and the first few lines are a bit condescending, little to no one will bother. Make sure that your future OP's are both to the point and well formatted in order to draw the largest and most informed crowd.

P.S. The IQ mention and the military mentions were both unnecessary and destructive to your point. I would leave them out in the future. Seriously, I chuckled at both. As I have experience in both of those worlds, it's easy to detect bullshit like this when you smell it. Especially when it is irrelevant bullshit.

As I have been personally attacked again and again, vs people ACTUALLY READING and POSTING this thread is dead. Arguments that started as skype phone calls or not answering a question DIRECTLY enough.

Further proves how the community has become a TRASHCAN of small people with emotional problems.
