Boards›Player Behavior

Just wanted to clarify how stupid the mods are and the double standards they enforce

So here is my post complaining about certain champions being way overpowered, which they are:

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/f/3ErqAdtq/d/cQEFQfxz?comment=0000000000000000

And one of my posts was removed for being toxic apparently:

Hey TrollsShouldDie,

We've recently removed your post for violating the Golden Rule on the Boards: "Don't be a jerk: Always be respectful to players, community members, moderators, and Rioters. Harassment and insults will not be tolerated".

Your removed content:

** Again, learn to read, and don't post again. Ever.**

While we aren't taking any actions against your account at this time, please keep in mind that continued violation of the Boards Universal Rules and sub-board guidelines may result in future punishments.

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 -- Periscope

But if you read through the post, you will notice the following:

apparently you dont seem to understand the holes in your statement.

or you are so bad you dont know how to win vs these champs

i know how to read. it is you who dont know how to think.

And another guy:

You’re bad

And another:

let me guess. youre using a lvl21 acc to post here for 2 reasons. 1: youre too big a pussy to use your main acc for fear riot will get mad at u 2: youre overly toxic as this braindead comment shows nad just lost your account.

grow up kid.

So in other words, I'm not allowed to tell someone to read and not post again because that's toxic and I'm "being a jerk", but these people are perfectly allowed to:

  1. call me bad
  2. say I don't know how to think
  3. call me a big pussy
  4. call me braindead
  5. call me a kid

All those comments are apparently fine because they're done by the Riot fanboys who act as bodyguards to their favorite free-win champions and Riot policies. But my "learn to read" comment is so toxic that it needs to be removed by the moderator.

What an incredible company this is. It doesn't get much worse.

None of those comments are okay. I'm going to go through and remove the poster's names from your quotes due to our of our board policy against naming-and-shaming, but I'm also going to take a personal look into that thread.

Remember: just because we haven't removed something doesn't mean it's okay -- it could simply have not been reported or still be in the moderation queue. If you ever have something you think we've missed, come to the Moderation Discord and tell us about it.

Edit: Thread cleaned up.

To be quite honest, those other posts likely aren’t fully in line with the rules either. However, they actually were making points to begin with.

Your post wasn’t making any point at all - it was insulting and telling another player they were unwelcome on the boards.

I don't think that calling the mods names improves your argument

Why not neither? Your comment wasn't following the rules, neither was the second and third comment made. (the first I don't think is really out of line, it was a rather blunt rebuttal but I wouldn't count it as being a jerk) if you don't like the comment, report it. Mods are volunteers so they're not always on and constantly monitoring shit, but they're usually pretty decent at keeping things civil.

Just going to say right now that periscope is a bad moderator.

Now from my experience and observations, I think there is a moderation bias in the player behavior boards. Moderation favors the side that has a favorable view point and opinion,and it opposes the side that has an unfavorable view point and opinion. This is specific to the player behavior boards as im not sure if it occurs in other board sections to.

I've told TheDjinn my complaints on that matter and he'd said he'd look up into it. Just hoping for the best i guess.
