calling someone a kid is an insult? Or the entire league community are adults right? So then this game is M17+? Cause I couldve sworn it was rated for Everyone. So...How is being a kid insulting or when comments are made that seem child-like, why is it that Riot Boards continue to let the community attempt to insult subliminally the second they feel something wasn't said correctly, etc. Oh I get it bans in-game but not on boards? As long as you are politically correct and dont curse you can do or say w/e. Ignorance and arrogance all through this forum dayum...

That strongly depends on the context, but generally, yes. It is.

This is because it bears the implication that the person you're talking to is beneath you in some way - after all, when directed towards a person, it's most commonly used by adults to speak to children. But, again, this is pretty dependent on context, and on how it's taken.

Oh I get it bans in-game but not on boards?

Forum bans are definitely a thing. But the rules for the Boards aren't the same as the rules in-game. This is, simply put, because they have different purposes.

As long as you are politically correct and dont curse you can do or say w/e.

Cursing is not bannable in-game or on the Boards. The words you use are - generally speaking - less important than how you use them.
