I guess "snowflake" is a trigger word now.

Your Content Has Been Removed From: Riot Games Hey IØIØI,

We've recently removed your post for violating the Boards Universal Rules, primarily pertaining the rule:

Facilitate Civil Discussion- When you choose to participate in a discussion with the rest of the playerbase, always try to be respectful and receptive to another player's point of view. Also, be mindful of how you present your point of view.

While we can appreciate player's frustrations with being punished in League of Legends for their behavior, discussing that behavior should remain civil and geared towards beneficial conversations between users. Replies and comments that are overly negative, dismissive or combative are not appropriate and may be removed.

Your removed content:

yo my bad bud, im sorry i responded to someone saying that they would "fuck me in lane" with "ok boomer." i take full responsibility of the first 2 games, i just do not agree that this third game should be a contribution towards my chat restriction. i have a right to annoy and piss someone else off in chat which is something called friendly banter snowflake.

While we aren't taking any actions against your account at this time, please keep in mind that continued violation of the Boards Universal Rules and sub-board guidelines may result in future punishments.

If you have any questions about this moderation action, don't hesitate to reach out to the Boards Moderation Team via:

If your dialogue isn't constructive or otherwise innocent, it's free for punishment tbh, and "ok boomer" and "snowflake" aren't typically constructive phrases.

As your removal messages explain, insulting others on the boards is not permissible. The rules for the PB board are more stringent, since there's a need to address player's concerns with their punishments.

While calling others "snowflake" isn't the worst insult, it still is meant as an insult and meant to detract from discussion.

Your last 3 threads have been about this meaningless stuff how some people find some things you say passive-aggressive or unkind.

I'm an adamant shit-talker and sometimes I say more hostile things than you did, but with far clearer intentions that it's just banter. It's the way you come across, you take the risk of someone being upset when you want to trash talk and banter. I haven't been chat restricted for 4 years or so now because even though I shit talk hard nearly every other game, it's a friendlier tone of shit talk through the internet. Even if I got restricted for it, I'd say "ah damn someone didn't see it as banter. My bad" and not cry about how "I can't say boomer or snowflake" as if that's the real issue, when it isn't.

Either: A. Work on how you come across, because while it is hard to judge tone through the internet, there are ways you can HELP make people understand your tone. Keep in mind it's not a guarantee. When you try to banter, you can upset someone unintentionally. B. Take the chat restrict and board removal as is. It's not a ban or anything, who cares? C. Stop typing in league chat. It's not a necessary part of the game. Pings work just fine.

They can moderate what you type however they damn well please. Doesn't matter if you like it or not.

You discuss your chat restriction within your thread. It's fine to disagree with other's point of view, but don't go insulting others replying to your thread.

Also, don't confuse the board rules with the ingame rules. They are a very different medium.

Don't get me wrong, that counts for in-game too.
