So when did it become ok to cry and whine? What happened to humanity that allowed babies to moan and bitch cause they can? When people make stupid comments they should be shut down. This care bear attitude is stupid.
It's not about whether it's OK to whine, it's about whether the community generally doesn't approve of negativity. This is pretty obvious with the chat logs and discussions in which Lyte participates on General Discussion. Players that receive these warnings and punishments feel their actions are justified, but the vast majority of the community does not agree.
If being a jerk is the inability to call people out on their threads i am done with Riot boards. At some point the whiners need to be put in check.
It's fine to call people out, but it has to be in a way that isn't just a blatant insult. Here's an example:
"Stop whining you retard"
vs
"Keep in mind, this thing you are complaining about is a bit unreasonable"
They are both saying roughly the same thing, but the second is far more constructive.
