Dear Riot, Please stop hiring your message board mods from the local church.
They have no problem deleting legitimate, non-troll threads just because they might contain "naughty" words. For some reason Agnes from the Episcopalian church down the road took offense when I quoted the fact that someone called me a....How do I put this so this doesn't get instantly deleted too?.... A "Fudging Gentleman of color who has a posterior and prefers the company of men" for picking an off meta Jungler.
It was a legitimate thread with a full page of non-rage, no-troll responses and yet I guess the people who browse a league of legends forum don't regularly hear 400x worse in 90% of matches they join. People in game will talk about Raping children, exterminating jews, cancer (you should start deleting every thread that talks about champions being cancer, you wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of people who have lost loved ones to it), and yet referring to the fact that someone called me a "fking cunt ass nigger" for not playing the way they want is somehow being offensive.
The reason they gave me was:
We have removed your content due to a violation of the following board rule: Don't be a Jerk Using homophobic slurs does not make you sound edgy or cool. Just like in real life, you will find that doing so on these boards is completely unacceptable.
"Don't be a Jerk"
"Jerk"
I have to wonder if the moderator even read my post.
edit If anyone's curious as to the contents of said post it was as follows:
[Title]"I'm reporting you for picking Lulu jungle...
...regardless of how this game goes. I hope you get permabanned you [insert string of insults that got my post deleted]"
By the 20 minute mark every lane had fed uncontrollably resulting in a 5-27 score. And this was in gold.
Something tells me there were bigger problems than my choice of jungler.
