Ok Riot, your automated system is a joke. Either that or a moderator just hates me.

You've deleted my thread for the third time with the same nonsensical "no naming and shaming" explanation when my post doesn't even name anyone. I'm not even going to bother reposting the thread again because clearly they aren't even being read before being deleted. Even asking why the post is being deleted is apparently against the rules because that post was also deleted. Great fucking system Rito.

Eh ... Riot's not the company the moderates the boards. They source a 3rd party company that does boards moderations.

Also, if you had images of other people's names, that counts for "no naming and shaming" as well.

I did have a link to the match history of the game, so I'm guessing that's what flags their system or something. I was merely using it for reference to help explain the game so the idea that I was naming and shaming anyone is rather odd. Hell, I never even mentioned anyone in the game because it didn't really have anything to do with them.

There's no automatic system, besides an offensive language filter. The boards are hand moderated. Every post is viewed by the moderation team.

That said, they aren't exactly perfect, either. Could've been against the rules, could've not been based on your post.

If your screen shot (or link) had someone elses name in it, its better you block those names out, so there will be no chance of shaming.

Are you honestly trying to tell me that I can't even link a match history because it has other people's names in it because of naming and shaming rules? How is anyone supposed to look at the evidence if I can't present it? Meh, I'll just post it with the names blocked out or something.

oh you meant a match history link ..

hmmmmm ... that one is tricky. It'll depend on what you are saying in your message. If its along the side of "I suck, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, please help me, this is my match history", then its fine.

But if it is something along the sides of "I can't climb because of these noobs, check this match history out", then no, that's not OK. As that has part blaming / shaming things to it.

Of course there are alot of variances of scenarios, generally if you are asking to point things in your own direction, then it is ok. If it is to point at others, then its not.

Like I said, the only reason I ever included it in my post in the first place was so people could look at the game for themselves. I went ahead and reposted with everyone's name but my own blacked out, although frankly, I shouldn't have to do that because the other 9 players in the game aren't relevant to the point at hand and I never even mentioned them in the post.

Yeah, I don't know why posting a link to your match history would be enough to get your post taken down. I'm honestly really confused about that. Especially when it's really easy to go to na.op.gg and find out your match history.

Wow dude, close this thread down! Bloody naming and shaming!

That was the feeding-related ban, right? (Didn't remember to memorize the name of the OP) If so, yeah... I couldn't see any naming and shaming. Let's see if TheCurator comes by and explains what happened there.

Correct. And apparently even asking why the thread got deleted is against the rules too because that one also got deleted and they banned my account for the day. It honestly makes no sense whatsoever.

I checked the action history on this account and you haven't had anything removed this month at all. If you'd like to provide the account these removals were on, I'd be happy to look into it for you.

DunkinNoobs1 votes

That's correct. I had to use this account because my main account was banned from posting for a day because of too many removed posts. The account I originally made the posts from is Slamurai Jack.

I looked into the removals and they were correctly removed under our Naming & Shaming guidelines specifically because you referenced being flamed by your teammates during the match and the link you included had their names shown. While it wasn't the primary point of the topic, it still implies unacceptable behavior on their part while showing their names.

The current post you have up was left because you blacked out the names which is the only way we'll allow that type of image to remain on the Boards when references to unacceptable behavior are made.

While that explanation is acceptable, would it kill you guys to at least post in the thread saying as such before deleting it instead of simply deleting it with the very confusing message I received? I reposted the same link twice more not even realizing that it was the issue untilI discussed it with others here and the last 2 deletions could have easily been avoided with a clearer explanation for why it was deleted in the first place.

The moderation team in general doesn't post; I'm currently the only visible moderator and I don't work 24/7. Hence, that isn't really something we can do currently. What I can do is pass along this feedback in regards to what is included in our messaging.

I have noticed that as well.

The moderators are incredibly Orwellian ... I would not have said that yesterday but I have opened my eyes to the absurdly draconian setting this is. I really wish they would ease up a bit.
