Is Riot's skin as thin as paper?

Sorry in advance for the chat block I am copy and pasting...

"We've recently removed your post for violating the Boards Universal Rules, primarily pertaining the rule:

Facilitate Civil Discussion- When you choose to participate in a discussion with the rest of the playerbase, always try to be respectful and receptive to another player's point of view. Also, be mindful of how you present your point of view. If a player feels strongly on a subject, don't get caught up trying to have the last word. Just state your side and exit the conversation gracefully rather than give them the opportunity to pick a fight.

Your removed content:

Don't you downvote me! I came here for entertaining chat logs! I downvote you back!

This is an example of the sort of overly negative, dismissive or combative responses we're going to be removing. It doesn't matter whether or not the poster seems genuine, we still respond with respect and an eye towards being helpful or we don't respond at all.

While we understand that you may be upset or frustrated, the Moderation Team does not accept this as a valid excuse to be uncivilized, and we ultimately require that all discussions on the Boards be civil.

I'd like to emphasize that this is not a warning; however, please take some time to familiarize yourself with the Boards Universal Rules, as well as the guidelines for any sub-board you intend to post in before you do so.

If you have any questions about this moderation action, don't hesitate to reach out to the Boards Moderation Team via:

The NA Boards Discord The Discuss the Boards sub-board -- Ulanopo"

Really riot?

So one, playfully telling someone that you're downvoting them is against the rules? The only argument is that it wasn't respectful, however.. I've seen board moderators destroy people almost on every other post, however I can't tell someone I'm downvoting them? I mean come on. Grow thick skin, it wasn't even offensive.

P.S. I am disappointed that riot cant even get the oozing mighty python and the holy grail joke.

I mean, as the note says, the proper place to discuss this would be the Discuss the Boards sub-board.

In PB, yeah. If you want to work on your comedy routine over in GD, go right ahead.

Wow. Your posts were literally spam. I remember them.

You don't get to spam just because you think it's funny. If someone comes here and doesn't want to confirm their punishment is valid, asking for chat logs is not appropriate. Especially in the condescending and rude way you did on that thread.

I know quite a few people with a similar story (myself included) of their experience and I'm currently working it into a standup routine.
