Player Behavior & Moderation; the land no Mod dares to dwell

Aforgetmenot·Aug 5, 2016·4 votes·922 views

"I've been wronged!" The voice calls out, only to be met with silence.

The League player, perpetually tortured by the toxicity infected in his veins. He makes final, pitiful, desperate plea for help.

"Give me justice! Give me closure! Give me something to hold on to and not succumb to the taint of human error!"

But it was all for naught. The blue worded sages and their fist-inscribed leaders had long since left the land of "Player Behavior & Moderation."

Now devoid of sportsmanship and compassion, the League player roams, hoping to hurt others as much as he has hurt himself.

Much better than bait; lures can be re-used indefinitely.

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

Hi there! I woke up too early this morning so I opted to sleep for a few more hours. But fear not, I'm alive... I think.

I've taken your feedback down that you think that our presence is dwindling, and I'm actively looking at positive contributors in Player Behavior & Moderation for potential roles within the Arbiters Program. If you have any additional feedback for us, we'd be very receptive to it, given that it's contructive (:

PS: Not a mod :x

Hey, Wuks-sempai.

It's a-me again.

Nearly a whole month, you helped me get the ball rolling with the Player Support ignoring my ticket, here.

Well... Exactly the same thing happened a few days later, except it was even funnier this time. First I had my new ticket responded in a completely not related fashion - In short, I was explained what upvote and downvotes are for and that I can report comments - then with the second response it was waved aside once again and once again I was told to bump my previous ticket, which was once again ignored.

I thought, something would change this time, but it's again reaching a month without any kind of response.

Would love to get this resolved, because this time I was told, this is my final warning and the next punishment would result in a permban.

The new ticket ID: 22484982 The ticket I was told to bump to get an answer: 21658866

I'll see if I can have someone take another look at your ticket. Stand by!

Be on the lookout for a response in the near future. I can't tell you what that response will entail, but it's my understanding someone will be following up with you shortly.

Mods post here quite frequently. TheCurator himself posts on many threads throughout the day.

I promise none of the Arbiters or Moderators have "abandoned" this board.

I think the issue may be what you mean when you say Mods. The "Moderation" in Player Behavior & Moderation references Boards Moderation, not in-game punishment. That's the "Player Behavior" part of the title.

Arbiters and Rioters will answer responses about in-game Player Behavior while Visible Moderators (currently me) will answer questions about Boards Moderation.

I can say that I see Arbiters posting here regularly. People listening to their responses? That's hit or miss as some people seem to just want to vent, and that's fine to a degree.

Rioters post when they can, though it's not as prolific as in Help & Support which recently leveled up in terms of Riot presence.

I stick to questions about moderation that seem to actually want clarity and tend to avoid those that just want to rant. I also answer questions in GD with the same type of focus. This is mainly because I have other job duties when I'm on shift than just looking for threads to post in. So the busier we are behind the scenes, the less chance I'll post.

So for Mods posting, the less you see of me, the better in a sense because it means the rules are clear for players actively posting and the occasional mistake is either dealt with quickly or doesn't become a pitchforks & torches type conversation.

Tickets are for talking to Rioters. This board is where we can tell you 'yes, your chat is bad and you should feel bad.'

if you are looking for justice against other, Riot has put a pretty high priority on behavioral visibility. But that won't be after the new client is up and running smoothly.

Hm, do you have more context on this?

Only Ghostcrawler & his failure (thread) & the june twitch stream Q&A.

He didn't really mention anything too deeply, but just said something along the lines of "What the players percieve the behavioral system does is true, and we are looking to tackle it soon™" or something like that.

Since no new features will be shipped for the legacy client (solo/DQ emblems & queue timers I guess is an exception), I'm guessing it will be after the new client is shipped.

Right now, they are trying to get alpha to catch up to the legacy client. Draft mode will probably get live in 3 weeks or so, I assume ranked would be around 1 month after that.

Oh, I see. Thanks!
