Hello everyone, i noticed that, in my very little forum experience, there are some individuals who have thousands of upvotes and replyes but actually don't play the game at all. I Came across one of them so i decided to point him out, hoping noone will feel offended by this. So i was wondering, is it just me thinking that or is it an actual job, beside the moderator ? is it some extra job moderators do ? are they in disguise due to Riot's policy. I am really curious to know because if i am thinking wrong this company has the bigges workshipping audience that not even scientology has.

Good luck on the fields summoners !

Share love !

No.

It would be a colossal waste of resources to invest money into having people post on the boards but not into new boards functionality. There's no gain from it, and it's basically just a giant conspiracy theory.

I've also removed your link. Naming and shaming players for their behavior is against the rules.

Some people have accounts just for boards, so people dont know their real account. Doubt riot pay people though

That's a little bit paranoid. Nobody is getting paid here; moderators are volunteers.

I have no idea how many upvotes and posts I have, but you won't see many games under my match history.

Mainly cos I play TFT 99% of the time now, and there's no public match history for that.

I'm definitely not paid by Riot, and I'll certainly take money from Riot if I can.

What would the point of having an account that would be basically farming up votes even do for them? Nothing? Yeah pretty much.

As many have said, it'd be an absolute waste of time and money. I have like 49.4k lifetime upvotes, does that even mean anything? No. The system something most places don't bother using because it is very outdated and arbitrary.

There are also trolls that post from accounts that last played years ago. GASP! They're being paid by Dota!

I use my 2nd account (not my main) to post on forums mostly. I happen to play both accounts, but many people just have a spare account to post on forums so no one can find them in game.

A lot of people (including me) dont use their main accounts on the forums for various reasons. I highly doubt Riot would pay people to use their forums. Most people are pretty stuck on their opinions, and tend to dig deeper into their opinions when debating on the forums. So i dont think theres really a reason to have shills on here over a video game.

I doubt that Riot pays them. If they had to, they may as well paid their mods first. That aside, its mostly people who enjoy hanging around on the forums more than playing the game, I suppose? Some get a high off frequenting certain boards. Like on PB itself, some players just get on here to tell others off after they post their punishment logs. Some get on Game Play to talk about balance issues and are fixated on it because they enjoy talking about different champions and how overrated/underrated they are etc etc.

I will leave it here to your judgment.
