Here is the mod message sent to me for the removal of my post, just disgusting:

Hey MoePhat,

As stated in the Universal Rules, refrain from using pejorative language, such as "r%%%%%" on the forums.

Your removed content:

well they need to add a permanent mute, and i dont think that chats or emotes should be visible at all in game, much less to enemies. and post game should NOT have a chat at ALL, thats where i spend every game reporting all the players i just played with, nothing else. I dont want to be harassed more, and unable to mute them. a MASSIVE oversight by riot, and a r%%%%%ed mistake. not to mention all of the blatant cheaters in every game, the reason i have to report and block every player, but thats another rant all together

Hey there,

We take pejorative language pretty seriously, especially when used in negative contexts. Thus why it’s censored. I typically apply a suspension with this sort of removal.

I hadn’t had a chance to look into your other posts, but please stop spamming the boards, as that will detract from others’ posts.

Edit: Your removal for naming and shaming were for accusing someone else of cheating and posting the match history. Since Riot isn’t obligated to look into this claim on the boards, it’s best to submit a support ticket regarding this behavior.

I’ll also mention both of these removals were over 3 months ago.

Sounds like you might have some issues that might not mix well with League...

I am also confused by this, as it wasnt even in reference to a person. We also know its a word not even on the same par as zt words.

It's strange to me so many people view this word as offensive or even discriminatory. 99% of the time when people use it, they're not referring to someone with actual mental disabilities, rather just someone who is acting really stupid. It's basically just another way to say idiot. Nobody is trying to put down people with actual uncontrollable disabilities, rather mentally capable people who said or did something really dumb.
