When a raging child explodes on the Forum and it's deleted...

Does anybody else hate replying to them, respectfully explaining why they are in the wrong, but their post is immediately deleted by a mod or the writer, leaving you unable to enjoy their raging responses?

Just now someone posted how they hated Riot or whatnot for them being demoted, and claimed they would sue if they got punished in any way for the outburst because they "had found so many loopholes in their contract". I took the 10 seconds needed and posted the ToS paragraph stating Riot can do whatever they want to the account; but, the thread was smote instantly leaving me unable to grab popcorn and wait for a response :(

This happens often to me, since I dislike people raging so I explain why they need to back down and chill, usually in a respectful manner.

Interactions of that sort can be temporarily entertaining, but ultimately lead to nothing but the furthering of the stereotype that antagonistic relationships are the norm in League of Legends. The satisfaction of people who enjoy condescending over the internet is a lower priority than the health of the community as a whole.

Oh dear lord. He replied and it showed up in my inbox after the thread was deleted.

My only comment was;

I bet you skipped the part where they say we can permanently ban you at any time for any or no reason, and no notification.

Good day, and good riddance.

Edit: I went and got you the Terms of Service pages specific paragraph on this;

By Riot Games. RIOT GAMES RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND, TERMINATE, MODIFY OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON OR NO REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, AND WITH NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND TO YOU.

His two respones are as follows;

For $5000$ I will find their office and god damn fuck them up until I get to the top and beat that mother fucker down and put my shoe on his face.

I spend 5k on this game. Guess I'll spend another 5k to get a picture of that shit. How about you get a god damn life and a job you worthless piece of shit.

Oh man I love the forums sometimes. Hope he calms down though.

The reason old GD was so fun was how you could just exploit the ragers

Riot should let their downvote system work, rather than have moderators permanently delete discussion. What;s the point of a self moderating upvote/downvote system if you're just going to filter out dissent anyway? Kinda gross.

LOL.

"I spent $5k on this G A M E. And I'm willing to do all sort of violent shit against poor Rito (over a G A M E), but YOU SIR NEED A LIFE MKAY?"

Well played bra.

I saw that thread. I called him the average drunk 4-year-old American, to which he responded by saying he was 12, and calling me racist.

There's a reason I bring matches to a box of fireworks.

While I don't like that the threads get shut down and I don't get to see them ever again (as opposed to the usual locked threads on the old forum), at the same time, I don't mind. The mods feel like it doesn't belong on the forums (and it doesn't), and the person's so desperate for attention, they're stopping short of literally whipping out their dick in the middle of a mall so people will notice them. Delete it, they don't get their attention, and no one gets worked up about it (because, even though we know better, someone will get worked up).
