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.

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?

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.

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.

Alright, thanks P6 and Sn0_Man!

I'm only really familiar with SC2, and nothing like that exists to my knowledge.

Its well, semi unusual that the mods of LoL reddit are ...connected to the Riot though.

Actually no wait that sounds like America.

I have no clue how the legal system in the USA works, but is that allowed only because laws haven't really covered the internet? 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.
