VaynePSA: We the /r/LoL mod team do not endorse nor sponsor the "official" reddit team. (self.leagueoflegends)

xlnqeniuz[EU-DC] xlnqeniuz[M] が 投稿

Hey guys! <3

There have been multiple threads about reddit sponsoring a team. We would like to clear some things up:

  • reddit (the company) does not officially sponsor nor endorse this
  • /r/leagueoflegends (and the mods) do not officially sponsor nor endorse this

As others have suggested, be careful and critical of how you give money. Evaluate the credentials and the actions, as well as the transparency of someone you are giving money to. We (the mods) do not condone any crowdfunding here and it will not be allowed.

We do not have a hand in running this, and do not plan on it. There have been precedents of subreddits sponsoring things (e.g. /r/NASCAR and /r/dogecoin sponsoring a car), and we are not disallowing it.

Please make sure to think through your decisions before you do something you can regret later.

Thanks. (credit to /u/sarahbotts for writing this up :D)

All this reddit team thing wasn't supposed to be a joke ?

[–]xlnqeniuz[EU-DC] xlnqeniuz[S,M] 378 ポイント379 ポイント  (58子コメント)

From what I've seen in the past few days the idea got taken serious by a lot of people, which prompted us to make this post.

We'd rather be safe then sorry here, you never know what some people might do.

    [–]Wiil23_ 32 ポイント33 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    this guy was a well known active user on r/starcraft a while back. His friend decided to post this link wenever he comented, so it became a meme there, and then here :V

    [–]Scumbl3 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    This gets asked every single time. Makes me wonder if half the time it's just because asking for the story has become a meme in itself by now.

      A user by the name of /u/followsxlnqeniuz posted this gif everywhere xlnqeniuz went on /r/starcraft for seemingly no reason, and since then it's been spread to other subreddits by other people. Doesn't really make sense without the novelty account around.

              Holy fuck this is spot on.

              The dude posted a few ideas and considered action on actually making it happen, the next day a single post goes off on him for some reason and now he is like Satan to everyone on this sub for some reason.

              A dude wanted to take an idea and crowdfund a team and all of a sudden everyone treats him like he is some mastermind scam artist after your money.

              I think giving money to anything without any chance at a return is foolish, but people really overracting to what this guy was hoping to do.

              [–]L075 34 ポイント35 ポイント  (14子コメント)

              The point is that stupidity should not be rewarded and this is a rather justifiable reaction from the subreddit as a whole to shut this thing down before the poor kid quits his day job, and think it's actually going to happen. The community built him up and allowed him the suspension of disbelief in believing that he might actually hitch on a free ride to do something he's not inherently qualified for; if anything we are doing him the favor in letting him know that in life you can't just 'think' you're qualified for something, and that you have to earn it.

              A dude wanted to take an idea and crowdfund a team and all of a sudden everyone treats him like he is some mastermind scam artist after your money.

              If his plan doesn't stand up to scrutiny, better for it to be shut down before money gets involved than after. 5000x easier for people to forget about a bad idea than about actual money that's changed hands. I'm sure this guy has good intentions, but whether he's a scammer planning to run off with the cash, or merely someone who doesn't know what he's doing and will misspend and squander it through incompetence, the money will disappear and it'll be a mess either way.

              If it smells remotely like a scam, it's sensible for people to question it and call it out. Thinking out loud on the internet, crowdsourcing names before you have any idea what you're doing or any business plan etc, is courting disaster.

              People probably did overreact a bit, but this is /r/leagueoflegends, which is full of teenagers and fanboys, and that's what they do. If he was marketing to this sub and didn't understand his audience, again, that's his mistake.

              On what pretty much everyone else took as a joke, and talked about giving himself a salary. Yeah, he's probably not a scam artist. But at the same time he was misguided and quite frankly, better it end in some minor drama now than in some broken kickstarter dreams down the line.

                  Completely agree, from what I've seen I don't think he's trying to scam us. I think he's just excited and inexperienced. Therefore he's just handling everything in a very poor way.

                  What he needs to do is to sit down, work on it for a couple of days and present to us a clear plan.

                  If he didn't think to present a clear plan to start with, he doesn't know enough to run a team.

                    In all likelihood it's a kid in a dorm room/his parents' house with no clue what he's doing, or any clue how to find out what to do. Not poorly-intentioned, just likely going to fail.

                    Just ask legitimately backed guys like /u/Veyloris (Team Fusion owner). eSports can be cruel and unforgiving. Some random Joe with no experience in the industry or atleast has some business experience, is likely going to flounder.

                    I think the reddit team thing is a horrible, horrible idea. Funding by reddit may be an okay idea, but reddit giving input/making decisions sounds like a recipe for disaster.

                    Think about the dogecoin thing, where they sponsored the driver. That's great and all. It's funny, everyone gets a laugh, but reddit never actually gets any right to make decision, and that's how it should be. A hivemind isn't a good way to lead. It's a good way to generate ideas, but not a good way to select them.

                    Funding by reddit may be an okay idea, but reddit giving input/making decisions sounds like a recipe for disaster.

                    Completely agree. Decide on superficial things like the team name? Sure. Decide who is on the team? Hell no.

                    Think about the dogecoin thing, where they sponsored the driver.

                    Yep. At most, perhaps Reddit can crowdfund sponsoring a team, have /r/LoL logos and other things...but completely owning/managing a team and basing decisions on community voting? It will be a clusterfuck.

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

                    Something tells me that even if they found a willing leader for such a project, /r/LoL wouldn't be willing to still fund and completely secede all rights of decision making, even though that would best assure success.

                            Hmm, if that's the common opinion, then fair enough. As I said, I agree with the other two, I think those encourage shitposts. But "PSA" just seemed different to me, like it's an actual viable abbreviation. Fair enough though, if I'm wrong I'm wrong!

                            [–]Policeman333 81 ポイント82 ポイント  (7子コメント)

                            Check out other game related subreddits which allow "PSA" posts and you'll see why the rule is needed.

                            PSAs are created for the most mundane and stupid things. Ex: "PSA - Make sure you take break after you've been playing for a few hours!"

                            I can guarantee you that if PSA posts were allowed we would see more things like "PSA - Make sure not to put League of Legends before your exams".

                            [–]Tommybeast[St Clair] (EU-W) 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

                            PSA is the one that can have real use mostly out of them, but posts that are useful with the PSA title, don't actually need the title while shitposts with PSA in them wouldn't work without the PSA.

                            [–]EntropyKC 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

                            If the PSA tag was used seriously then it wouldn't be for shitposting, but the tag itself definitely encourages it. PSA doesn't MEAN the post will be a shitpost, but it can very easily be misinterpreted and abused.

                                They were too often used incorrectly. Also because it is a false sense of authority, public service announcement almost implies authority.

                                I think it is OK that mods use it, because they actually have the authority.

                                  Those acronyms are against the rules to discourage shitposting. It makes sense for a mod to break this rule when actually presenting a PSA which is important.

                                  "PSA" adds absolutely nothing to the post. Making a mod post a sticky is stressing it enough.

                                    Well, to be fair, the /s is not needed. Yeah, mods make the rules. But that also means they have to follow the rules.

                                    They are not above the law after all.

                                            Based on what the guy has been saying, I don't get the feeling that this is a money grab or scam. I just think he's idealistic and naive.

                                            He talks in generalities, admits to having no background in this kind of stuff, and seems to jump from one idea to the next with little forethought. The whole voting on the team name and ending up with the awful "Win or Bench" without cutting down the list of names after an initial vote is evidence to that last point.

                                            Reddit has a history of this kind of stupid ass crowdfunding (see /r/millionairemakers, /r/redditisland, and a dozen others) that are pie-in-the-sky, half-baked and over ambitious.

                                            I don't think that makes the user trying to organize a bad guy or a scam artist. Just an idiot. And sometimes idiots convince other idiots to give them money.

                                            I'd have to agree with you, there are so many people throwing this guy under the bus while he's never tried to hide his lack for qualifications.

                                            This is certainly something to be approached with a healthy amount of scepticism, but I wouldn't go so far to call this guy out on anything purposely malicious.

                                            Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

                                            I'm sure everyone around here has heard that quote before.

                                                    Is it allowed, or not allowed at all? I'm confused here.

                                                          thank you for posting this, hopefully it makes the front page so people at the very least know to consider what they are doing before they do it. One of the first actions I can honestly say I am proud of you all for doing and being proactive in your duties on this sub reddit.

                                                          I don't want to see anyone get hurt due to a scam brought about on this sub reddit, that would be a truly despicable thing to have happen, even in this community.
