In Korea many of the people from this forum would be in jail. Defamation of Character is Illegal.

In South Korea Internet Defamation is taken very seriously. So say you call someone gay (not that there is anything wrong with that) but turns out they aren't gay, you could be sued not just in civil court for money, but also criminally.

So all these people raging in games calling people names, they could potentially be prosecuted for this.

However, the resident pseudo-mods who take complaints about griefers in games, people who throw matches on purpose, and twist things back around on the person complaining, they also could be prosecuted for defamation.

In fact the latter would have a better case. Since the case would innvolve one person who was ACTUALLY in the game, and another using incomplete end game statistics to lie and defame anothers character in an effort to deflect blame away from riot.

It one thing to tell someone that riot simply does not care as much about griefers as it does about in game vulgarity, but it's another to defame a summoner in an effort to prove that there is no problem to begin with. That's pretty f-ing evil and these people need to take good look in the mirror.

Thanks in advance for leading by example.

You can sue for slander is the United States too, it is just extremely hard to do or get anything out of it.

It's disturbing that this is the reaction to this post... Unless I clearly missed something...

The way people throw out racial slurs and sexist bigotry around the game is just disturbing. The internet kind of has the loophole of being a public forum where congress can't make a rule barring our freedom of speech, thus in the US there's only civil suits that can occur. But it does bring up the question if hate speech should be an exception to the first amendment. And I'm talking people using the N word or that word that means bundle of sticks or cigarette in other countries, not just people who disagree with you.

Just hate speech them back... words are just words and can only hurt you as much as you let it.

It's why every rap song ever says the n word like 4000 times.
