Our terms of Service with Riot (shortened version) and please read carefully...
NOTE: I went through these myself.. the description is below the incident.
- YOUR ACCOUNT
1.1. Am I eligible to use the Riot Services? (You must be at least 13 years old and an adult must accept this Agreement.) Only people ages 13 or older may create an account or use the Riot Services. If you’re at least 13 years old, but not yet legally considered an “adult” in the country you live in, you must ask one of your parents (or other legal guardians) to read this Agreement and accept it on your behalf. You may not create or use an account or use any of the Riot Services on behalf of a legal entity or for a commercial purpose.
---Yet Daniel Z Klein can call people manbabies and work for Riot Games?? He isn't over the age of 13 apparently as stated above.
- ACCOUNT TERMINATION
2.1.2. Us.We may terminate or suspend your account if we determine, in our sole discretion, that:
(c) doing so would be in the best interests of our community, the Riot Services, or the rights of a third party.
HELLO RIOT?!?!?! Daniel Z Klein much???
- CODE OF CONDUCT
5.1. Can I troll, flame, threaten or harass people while using the Riot Services? (No. If you do, you might get banned.) While using the Riot Services, you must comply with all laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdiction in which you reside. You must also comply with certain additional rules that govern your use of the Riot Services (the “Code of Conduct”). The Code of Conduct is not meant to be exhaustive, and we reserve the right to modify it at any time, as well as take appropriate disciplinary measures including account termination and deletion to protect the integrity and spirit of the Riot Services, regardless of whether a specific behavior is listed in the policy as inappropriate. In addition to the Code of Conduct, please review the Summoner’s Code for additional guidance on exemplary gameplay behavior.
The following are examples of behavior that warrant disciplinary measures:
v. Transmitting or communicating any content which, in the sole and exclusive discretion of Riot Games, is deemed offensive, including language that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, or racially, ethically, or otherwise objectionable;
This literally has fucking Daniel Z Klein written all over it...
YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOREGOING AGREEMENT, AND THAT BY SELECTING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON BELOW OR OTHERWISE USING OR ACCESSING THE RIOT SERVICES, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN.
Draw your own conclusions about PAX.. but this in a nutshell shows how unfair and unjust Riot Games is. Rito needs to at least own up to the current situation before it becomes more of a shitstorm that gets etched in history for future generations of gaming to see.
I can't believe I actually read through all of our terms of use with Riot... omg
