Laughing fish, Memes&games, Ranked, Etc.

I deleted a bunch of posts and this is to explain my actions for having posted them earlier in hopes that people are DECENT human beings, understand, and don't follow me around the boards with spam hate or shaming posts and downvotes.

I had posted a somewhat harsh reply to laughingfish on this board after he had removed a meme/joke of mine from it's proper board because he thought fid q does damage - it's a fear with no damage attached. Because he didn't take time to look up said ability, he didn't know it was satire. I still feel someone with power to remove posts should take 30 sec to look that kind of thing up, but it doesn't excuse my subsequent actions nor those of other users. But this removal of my post left me feeling attacked. I didn't know about discord for talking to moderators and wardens and such, so I posted here to get his attention. More on that later.

I'm sure you have all had your bad days in league. Days where all week you have gotten nothing but losses. Where you can pull 3 people to your lane and survive and hand your team a free inhib tower and 4v2 double kill by pulling 3 people to your lane, but they flame you and call you mentally retarded. And after dealing with people like that for multiple games over a week with no matches of decent human beings in between the horrible ones, you go to memes& games to lighten yourself up. You feel some of the frustration leave you, and you feel inspired to make a post. Only that post gets deleted for being "in the wrong section". And it was in the right section, but people didn't take 30 sec to investigate and understand the joke; they just deleted it. Which just makes you feel that no matter where you go in League, you are being attacked by people and harassed without cause. In game, in memes&games, etc. Sure that's not true, but it's all you've experienced in league for the last half week, so you FEEL that way. And because of that and lack of some knowledge on your own part too, you respond somewhat harshly and don't try to solve something via proper channels because you didn't know about the proper channel - much less how to use it. And you get met with spam downvotes and hate posts - some less relevant and logical than anything you yourself ever posted, others with some truth but said at least as harshly as anything you said - designed to harass and exacerbate the situation rather than solve it. Well that's what I have had. But I am here to say that I am sorry to everyone I offended or hurt for letting the in-game harassment and abuse which goes unpunished get to me and taking it out one laughingfish for him misunderstanding and deleting my post.

I don't have to do this, and he didn't ask me to. I chose to do this of my own free will and to show to him and the harsh critics of mine that I am a human being. Capable of mistakes, of giving into emotions, and of apologizing when I let my emotions get the better of me. I hope everyone can understand and forgive me. And I hope this inspires people to be more understanding, to take the extra time to cool off to think about the situation from others' perspectives, and to be more encouraging to people - building them up instead of breaking them down in the future. We all have limits to how much we can take - let's work to keep de-escalating each other from reaching those limits instead of pushing each other further towards them.

Sincerely, woodvsmurph

The Player Behavior board is for discussing behaviors and punishments in the game (like feeding and chat restrictions), not those on the Boards. Due to the particular nature of this post I'm going to lock it rather than delete, but please feel free to repost it in the correct area over on Boards Feedback.

If you have questions or concerns about this action please visit us in the Moderation Discord here.
