Hi Deshiba,

Before you read all this please understand that this is not the first time this has happened and it's getting very tedious. Take into account what I say, but don't take it personally: I'm doing my job and trying to have a bit of fun doing it because let's face it writing a 3000 word report every time someone gets mad about something is kinda boring.

First: I'm happy to delete any blogs you feel lie on the same line as the one I deleted. You and everyone else who complains really has to stop painting targets on yourself or other people as part of your defense: It leads to silly things like getting shot (metaphorically) again. The reason why I deleted this blog is the same reason I deleted a lot of blogs (you aren't the only one, you've actually been left alone for longer than usual): Because it's either discussion-baiting or it's ranty. I'm going to quote what I said to another user already as this is the nth time I've responded to one of these demands to undelete their content.

"This is a rant blog. It was made with the intent of baiting discussion (getting attention) by bringing up a controversial topic (by that I mean complaining about topics such as toxicity, feeding, promos, etc)." - Yay my KDA is better than everyone else my team sukcs - DAE Lose Ranked because of scrublords?

": If you want to go and make this kind of content, please head over to the league subreddit and try your hand at complaining about Riot, ranked, champion balance or the professional scene - You can get internet points over there!" And I'm talking Serious Internet Fame. I'm talking tens of hundreds of actual, real life karma.

"The fact that you don't use reddit does not justify you using the wiki as your diary - though I don't condone doing so on reddit either - in which you invite users to talk about the problems you have with the game. I'm suggesting the site to you because if you wish to continue making these kinds of blogs then you should consider doing so elsewhere."

I feel as if I've put very little effort into this aside from commentary on my own commentary, so here's some on yours:


 * "I have never been moderated for ranting in the past, nor should I be now" - You should have been, we've been low on manpower, I've returned to do cleanup.


 * "It's on topic, about the game, and it gives rise to discussion and people sharing" - The user I responded to earlier also seemed to have the same misconception that the wiki's your personal platform for self-promotion (perhaps hypocritical due to the whole build-a-champion going on, but I don't really like those either).


 * "It's on topic, about league" - How crap my team-mates are and how all Rioters are dumb is also on topic and about league.


 * "No insubstantial blog posts" - Actually, I wouldn't use wordcount/size to check for substance. Otherwise this "post" looks pretty good just given how much fluff (quotes) there is in it. It's hard to directly tell you why your blog posts are insubstantial without talking about your writing style, but it's not my job to improve it so I won't bother.

"So what do you think? Would these restrictions hurt people more then the current punishment? Do you think it would caution people to think twice before breaking social rules? Or is the toxicity in league beyond compare and repair? Do you have any idea's of your own that might reduce trolls and flamers? Please, do share in the comments!"
 * Here's an excerpt of your blog:

Don't discussion bait please. When I mean that, I mean actively encourage people to comment to get to the front page/whatever the wiki uses. This also includes responding to every user who comments so you get way more comments + force others to re-respond to you because you discussion-bait them again.

Extra Stuff:
 * Please don't put "."'s after each of your blog post titles in future. Click on your links you've provided, none of them work because the "." doesn't append to the link.


 * You actually commented on another blog (somethingsomething:Toxic_Players) in March 25th. It was also deleted. "04:43, March 27, 2014 Psykolog (wall | contribs | block) deleted page User blog:Kashicorn/Toxic players (Off-topic: Rant.) (view/restore)".


 * http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends I'm going to leave this here, and hope you realise what it means (ignore most of the videos/proplayer stuff though it's not really as relevant).


 * The rules are not explicit black-and-whites, they're very interpretable (mostly because they're old and vague). If you would like them to be, I will renew my efforts to make the most restrictive ruleset ever that takes into account every single situation and start banning words from blogs (like ranked!).

I've forgotten anything else I wanted to say, so yea hope this covers things! Please don't argue semantics regarding policies in future, they're open-ended.
