This /r/leagueoflegends mod drama is kind of degenerating into conspiracy drama but with much more esports and Richard Lewis. Still solid stuff though.

I do find it hilarious that the OP of that thread has literally been appealing to Richard Lewis on twitter.

esports drama is my favorite because the angst to stakes ratio is pretty much infinite.

[–]PapaJackyIt Could Be Worse 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I know you're being jocular but considering that the /r/lol sub is one of the most active subs on this site (it beats defaults on the daily, yo), any content that gets upvoted there will be seen by thousands, if not millions of people so content creators and writers like Richard will tend to get plenty mad if their shit gets removed as that means many views and much dollars they stand to lose from not being as widely upvoted as it could've been.

[–]Maladjust-- 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Maybe Richard shouldn't depend on a community-driven third party website like reddit for his revenue stream.

His revenue stream that is based on a single video game.

One piece of consumer entertainment.

[–]ekajjj 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Most people are involved in multiple games. I'd say Richard is more involved in the CSGO scene.

[–]Folsomdsf 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

He isn't, he pays for the submissions from users and pays for the upvotes. I'm curious why no one bothered demolishing the links when they see the clickthrough + comment + upvote ratios that are wildly out of whack with a normal link.

He doesnt. He Gets payed a fixed salary by the publication he Works for. That publication would probably like the view. Though.

All mod drama turned into a conspiracy in the end. I'm just confused about Richard Lewis hating mods on Reddit. It's probably only a matter of time before his friends Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld and other Hollywood comedy actors get involved in Reddit Drama.

Every time one of these tribal gaming threads gets posted to SRD, the butter comes here and starts doing this, but I still feel like someone plopped me down in a bazaar in deepest Africa and expects me to negotiate buying lunch when I don't speak the language, understand the culture, or even recognize any of the wares.

But it's always slightly educational, if bewildering!

[–]ReallyCreativeEuphoric 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well that's the least surprising thing I've heard all day.

I don't know anything about LoL or Richard Lewis or the sub. Could someone give me some background as to why there's so much conspiratarding?

Oh look, mods being accused of censorship for deleting e-celeb shitposts. Must be a day ending with Y.

/r/leagueoflegends - home of the League subreddit where we never talk about the game and always talk about esports, player worship, and nazi mods.

[–]Synavix 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (12子コメント)

I'm betting that the best of this drama is still to come. For weeks there's been a very vocal set of users upset about the whole Richard Lewis drama with his non-League threads being deleted. They've been trying to call out mods for inconsistencies in everything they do, and pressuring them to release a new rule-set with less ambiguous descriptions.

The problem is that they don't realize that all the content they're upset about being removed is STILL going to be against the rules once they're rewritten, and if anything it's going to be even worse. It will just result in them having no room to complain about it. Who am I kidding? They'll always find something to complain about.

[–]toastymow 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (11子コメント)

The average age of that sub is very young I think. These guys are just dumb and screaming censorship is easy.

[–]ledo1222 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Its mostly 16 year old teenagers that want to fight any authority.

Fuck the police = Fuck the mods

[–]toastymow 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Pretty much. It's really dumb too because that sub has decent content often enough. Dae nazi mods??? Has to be one of the worst circlejerks though

[–]blinzz 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (3子コメント)

maybe 10% fluff jokes 40% dank meme videos 30% beware of bug the rest interesting statistics/or esports discussion I enjoy the balance.

[–]DangerAwarCabal so hard SRCers wanna ban me 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (1子コメント)

10% fluff, 20% shill, 15% community that needs a chill pill, 5% displeasure, 50% insane, and 100% people worked up over a game.

Stream highlights are fun. I used to do nothing but watch streams so it's nice to feel like I can keep up with that.

[–]ledo1222 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Its not only /r/leagueoflegends that has a circle jerk for mods.

/r/warthunder had some similar circle jerk about mods too, Not even the subreddits mods tho, the official game mods.

Everyday there was atleast 3-5 threads about mods that had no Influence over the sub but people just kept stroking their dicks.

It got to the point where no Original content was being upvoted and only circle jerk threads. and the subreddit mods did nothing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I guess it has to do wih F2P games and the 12-16 year olds that populate it.

[–]toastymow 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yea. They have the time to grind I guess. I used to in college. Now I hardly even play

This is absolutely not new for gaming forums. Im lucky there wasnt a "RunescapeForumsDrama" website back when i was a kid, the outrage that happened daily in the community was amazing

[–]Arracht 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

As a dude in his late 20's who frequents the sub, this is very true. It's almost impossible to have a rational discussion without being downvoted to hell for having an unpopular opinion.

[–]CollumMcJingleballsCancer Pick Ax Male Model 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I bet the comedian Richard Lewis catches a lot of stray hate mail from angry LoL players who don't know he's not the other Richard Lewis.

[–]hpp3 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Which comedian? The esports one, or the funny one?

[–]OverlordLork 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (9子コメント)

At least the anti-mod nutters are mostly getting downvoted this time. But man I'm almost ready to stop going to that sub altogether. Sooooo many people spreading Lewis's lies about the mods, and just being angry for no reason...

[–]RinYoga 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Well the inconsistency thing is real. I remember 1 year ago there was a topic of inconsistency again and they really didn't say anything.

The Richard Lewis crap is fairly annoying tho.

[–]IllusiveSelfEats meat because nature 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

the mods are better now than a year ago, and substantially better than two years ago. Completely coincidentally, so is the sub as a whole.

I'm a CLG fan though, so maybe I'll still unsub.

[–]BigFatNoSemem knad 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was very angry at those conspiracy people, but then some guy said to me "you're being angry at people being angry" and that's a good point. I'm gonna just hide these threads in the future. It will pass over time.

[–]sakebomb69 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Fucking Richard Lewis. Hasn't been relevant since 'Men In Tights.'

[–]WWWlandofcoke 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I always thought the mods of LoL did well considering everything.

But I haven't been there in awhile since the comments were about as useful as shit in a bag. And they would complain about anything and everything. While being racist and hateful at times.

[–]bearjuaniI'm here to chew popcorn and read sass 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (6子コメント)

there's literally a link to a way to get something riot will charge for, free, in the CSS on the front page right now Lol.

[–]FlameOfWar 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's not the same. What Riot would charge for is visible to all 10 players, those are just novelty skins that are only available to the player.

[–]OverlordLork 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's still something that Riot wouldn't exactly want you to advertise for, because it would cut down on chroma sales. I'm personally all for the custom-made ones, but it's pretty clear that the mods aren't Riot shills if they're advertising that.

[–]4445414442454546I HATE FLAIR! F THE MODLICE! 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, you see they're only advertising for that as a cover. Losing a few sales through that is worth being able to still have the mods shill out in other ways with that much less suspicion!

Something something sheeple, something something /r/leagueofilluminati

edit: apparently that's a real subreddit. Heh.

[–]FlameOfWar 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean, it's not even plain advertising, the goal is to remove the spam posts on the front page.

Just because they may be more subtle in other cases of bias doesn't mean that there isn't something there.

[–]jhuang29 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

You don't understand. There used to be posts on the front page about this. By relegating all the posts to a subreddit, it's actually getting less exposure. I understand relegating all requests to the subreddit, but any complaint or criticism of Chroma is also relegated to the smaller subreddit.

[–]TheBoilerAtDoor6 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The whole chroma affair is the perfect example for why moderation is actually needed though.

[–]JumbledOne 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (7子コメント)

the LoL community is a strange one

[–]PrinterDriveBy 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (6子コメント)

It is just a big one. Big communities are bound to include a lot of opinions. That doesn't make it strange if those opinions contradict.

[–]Glurky_Spurktlo ;) 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (5子コメント)

It kinda sucks that there isn't a good place to talk about strategy and shit. Summonerschool is just full of reallly bad players giving reallly bad advice.

[–]sarahbottsFemale Supremacy --> Misandry. QED. 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

/r/LeagueofLegendsMeta :D

[–]Glurky_Spurktlo ;) 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah, that's about the only good place, but it still sometimes just turns into summonerschool2.

It's sad that TL's site didn't pick up a ton. Team Liquid's forums for starcraft were really good if you were interested in actual game discussion.

[–]sarahbottsFemale Supremacy --> Misandry. QED. 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, I know what you mean though. I wish you could talk about meta in /r/leagueoflegends, seeing as it is a big part of the game.

[–]blinzz 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Summoner school has diamond and challenger players giving good advice lol...

common misconception is that it is for silver and below its for mid diamond and below.

[–]epimeral 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It has the word "school" in it, and everybody knows Challengers are too cool for that shit. ;)
