Both are currently blacklisted

What does it mean to be blacklisted in this case? Can't contact Riot in any capacity anymore?
|
The problem with those two and Slasher is they don't seem to understand that burning bridges does not make you a good reporter. It just ends up with people blacklisting you because you don't work for the NY Time or anyone who matters.

Riot and the players don't talk to you. Makes it almost impossible to report anything.
|
whew i just hope im not the next one to get blacklisten by riot
|
A number of staff knew about this before the NA quals and obviously did not report on it then. But when it becomes a center of discussion in the scene it actually becomes irresponsible to not at least have a discussion on it to some degree.
|
Wait, can Riot actually control with whom their LCS players can contact? I guess that sorta does make sense, with how Riot (to my knowledge!!!) pays for their entire career along with their team/sponsor. Is it still true that LCS players are not allowed to play in any non-Riot premier-class-thingy event?
|
Yes, riotunappoval can also lead to a direct ban on all of your content on the lolreddit
|
Does Blizzard have the same degree of control on the screddit equivalent, or is this one of the various deals that Riot's made? I wasn't aware that a company that made/runs a video game league had that much control over the internet.
|
but kupon3ss, isnt reddit a free website to have unbiased discussions
|
riot owns the mods on r/lol blizz doesn't own the mods on r/sc
|
LCS players are not allowed to stream some specific games, like Dota and HotS. And the NFL has similar restrictions on what they can say and who they can talk to. My firm has the same restrictions too. Its not uncommon when the people you work for care about PR a lot.

do you think the current thread qualifies as enough of a discussion?
like I said I really don't know what I think about this to be honest.
|
it was so funny how the lol ppl actually gave no shit about them being manipulated by riot and hated on richardlewis instead
|
Alright, thanks P6 and Sn0_Man!
I'm only really familiar with SC2, and nothing like that exists to my knowledge.

Actually no wait that sounds like America.

Or is Reddit just letting that happen? I used to think that mods were just regular forum-goers that have shown enough responsibility to monitor the content.
