Name Shaming
Why is name shaming not allowed? If you really want to you can still the find name of the censored player. And by that rule wouldn't you have to censor your own name because someone could just as easily spam you after posting?

No it's not that. The main point is if someone wants to know what the name is, they're going to find out. And to the "vilifying" part if the person you are presumably "exposing" for bad behavior, and they really are violating a rule are they not a "villain" in the terms of breaking the rules?
Derake1 votesAnd by "not allowed", I mean as in why is it a problem if the name is actually showing. By saying "not allowed" it seems as if your're purposefully trying to break a rule when its something you wouldn't even think about unless you knew about it beforehand.
Audhulma1 votesSuffice to say that it's not allowed, nor has it ever been. The rule hasn't caused any problems up until now, and you don't fix what ain't broke. Let's just leave it at that.

The mods of the board remove posts that are Naming and Shaming because its against the rules, Just because they did something bad once does not mean they should be Hunted and ridiculed the whole time they play the game,

This is a good explanation.
What if someone wrongly accusing another player? What if they just had a really bad game? This could easily happen, people often complain that their teammates are inting, when they might be in a match up they're not experienced with, or just having a very bad game.
What is the best outcome from a name and shame thread? From our experience, there's almost no positive outcomes, and a lot of negative ones, whether it's arguments, harassment, or flaming.
If someone is actually trolling, either by intentionally feeding, or verbally harassing their teammates etc, then again, a thread isn't needed, simply report at the end of your game, and Riot will handle the rest.
