Naming and shaming is apparently allowed on the boards now

Is this no longer a rule? I could have sworn it was, but perhaps everyone including rioters is allowed to break that rule when it comes to a certain famous streamer.

Naming and shaming is against the universal forum rules. It disgusts me that the mods are not closing the threads, rioter and player alike, that are clearly negatively calling out other players.

Naming and shaming isn't allowed for normal players since information from them is primarily hearsay and they don't have the information to truly support it. This can lead to witch-hunts due to false accusations and unreliable information.

Riot making official announcements or correcting false declarations when they have full access to all available information and reasoning is a different matter.

Yet when I posted a picture showing a player last month going Keemstar saying the N word like it was not racist at all and yet that gets taken down. Showing true accusations and actual information proof of true toxic nope take it down. No let everyone see this racist players name show it cause Riot wont do anything about champ select or after game chat .

Ever heard of Photoshop? Ultimately, whatever evidence you post on the forums, nobody but Riot can verify your claim.

And Riot can read pre/post game chat and does punish for it. It just doesn't show up in the automatically generated chat logs that are sent to people.

Oh yes photoshop yeah that is the worst reason ever. Seriously I suck at photoshop and I posted the picture of the chat to the boards while I was still on the after game screen. Jesus stop assuming dude you don't know what your talking about why would I lie to get someone banned if you think I am lying go to a thread earlier that someone admits to getting someone banned cause that person was annoying them cause of the mastery emote. Oh yeah tell me that how that is allowed.

This. Riot only makes official announcements in extreme cases where they feel they player-base needs to know what is going on and why.

Outside that, if a player comes here and asks for a review of a ban, they're giving consent to Riot/Moderation to review their account and give them a straight answer on what's going on, even if that means outing their dirty laundry. I believe some still refer to it as "being smited" and sadly sometimes it's the only way some people come to realize and accept what's going on.

There is a difference between the average gamer and a person who actively seeks public attention intentionally (i.e. streamers, youtubers, pro gamer etc.)

^ This guy pretty much has it right. Once you've decided to go high profile, you've pretty much opened yourself for the world to pick apart. It's the same for non-gaming celebs.
