So I just got a warning and a notice of post deletion from the Boards

Is there a person I can talk to about it? I don't feel what I posted qualifies as, to quote my warning, " insulting, harassment, or inappropriate satire to others".

I don't know if I can or should link the thread and the deleted comment here, but I'd like to discuss it with someone if I could.

Usually TheCurator (visible boards moderator) will pop in and explain more why the post was removed, but it's typically for obvious reasons. I'd just suggest familiarizing yourself with the Universal Rules. You could share with me what it was, but if you do, leave other summoner names censored at least and I'll take a look.

Thank you, Deep Terror Nami, I appreciate the consideration.

<nope>

I edited his name out of it and added what relevant info I could. The reason I wanted to talk about the inappropriateness level is that I really don't get how the deleted comment (the one at the bottom) is harassment or insulting. If I'm being brutally honest, the other comments are probably more offensive than that last one. :/

You seem to have a very reasonable post, but adding that he (or his position) is stupid, a jackass, and a coward (running away) isn't conducive to a healthy discussion. Leave out the passive-aggressive behavior or inflammatory remarks and you're fine. If they won't show you the same respect there is no need to engage them in discussion.

Okay, thank you for taking the time. Looking back on it I think I just forgot the golden rule of arguments on the internet: to just nope the fuck out. XD

Hey Strawberrycocoa,

If you comment on someone's discussion only to say "run away when you're called out on your bullshit" then that qualifies as harassment since there's no actual attempt at having a discussion with them.

If you've already tried to have a discussion and the player doesn't want to engage with you, then just downvote them and leave the discussion.

I'll take that advice to heart, thank you for looking over it Curator.

I had the same thing happen to me when someone was raging at me on the forums. I responded with a video of a crying baby. My post got deleted and I was warned but their posts remained. My guess is that I hurt their feelings and they reported me. I haven't heard anything back about it and it has been a few months. Don't worry about it too much but I am with you when it comes to wishing I could talk to someone about it. Not justified compared to what most people on the forums say.
