Why is it Rank shaming not a punishable form of harassment on the boards?

You're telling me that if someone makes a suggestive or condescending comment they can be banned or punished but if some self righteous hole hardstuck in diamond starts harassing another player or belittling them because of their rank (not even taking into consideration some players do heir promos and go back to normals beacause the competitive environment of ranked just isnt fun for them and believe it or not some people actually play games for fun) they get off the hook and the person being harassed gets punished for putting the Diamond neet in their place??

It can be slow because mods are volunteers, not Riot employees.

We're a volunteer team, which means we're sometimes a bit slow to hit everything. If you think there's something we're missing, I'd recommend coming on to the Moderation Discord and telling us about it directly.

Djinn, I have a question, if I may.

If you're a volunteer team and you're admitting that your team might be a bit slow, how come the boards aren't in need of more moderators currently?

Wouldn't more hands mean it'd be easier to help everyone?

Well, we're always on the look-out for whether we need more moderators or not. But the real issue isn't how many things are in the queue -- it's that, however many moderators we have, we sleep, have real-world jobs, have families, classes, etc.

If we get more moderators, they have these things as well. No matter how many people we have (and we've had larger or smaller teams before) there are times when we're right on top of things and times when we lag behind.

That's a fair point.

Would recruiting moderators from different parts of the world other than NA have any effect on this?

Considering timezones are different, so sleep/work schedules would be different as well?

It might, but we choose moderators based on whether or not we think they'd be good candidates, not based on their time zone. We do have some from timezones outside EST-to-PST, but I wouldn't want to pass over someone I think is a stronger choice just to pick up someone from another timezone.
