"SUPER VILLAIN, SHADOW OWNER, JAMES BOND, 10 STEPS AHEAD OF EVERYONE" Nice choice of words when trying to convey your story as nonfictional. Nonetheless does seem like a legitimate possibility.

I apologize, my language was probably a little too hyperbolic, I agree. However, my point still stands. I've been on /r/leagueoflegends since its inception and never experienced something quite like this.

I was thinking about the whole "jack the price" controversy and made this comment two days ago...

All joking aside, this guy is a really good example of how rich people think. His attitude isn't any different from any of his fellow 0.01% friends. The only real difference here is how open he is about it. Most of them would hide behind a team of "spokespeople" and use spin teams to conceal their naked greed.

Shkreli is being unusually honest... and that's kind of weird.

Well, yesterday it comes out that he shorted his own stock or something like that. Apparently he made all those douchebag comments to make sure there was a shitstorm and then played it for his own financial benefit.

So, calculating and manipulative. He's also got a pretty good understanding of how people react... and how to push their buttons.

Well played young Shkreli, we will watch your career with great interest

I mentioned his short selling in my OP...

Yes and it's a good call.

tldr; I was wondering why this guy was being such a douchebag and your post totally explained why.

I'm glad it helped clarify the situation. That's all I wanted in the first place -- clarity. I'm not running down the streets screaming, "WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!" But the fact that it can't even be discussed is off. Thanks!

About this Shkreli guy though, he seems to be quite young to be in such a position (running a pharmaceutical company) where he can pull of a play like this.

I can't help but wonder how he got to where he is this fast. Don't tell me it's because he's so smart either. He must have had some connections.

I'm a random internet guy talking on /r/conspiracy so obviously you can take what I say with a big grain of salt.

THAT SAID, I really did have a discussion with Martin about his aspirations to acquire a team before the season started. I'm trying hard not to doxx myself but picking up on implicitly encoded secondary language and predicting it's meaning is what I get paid for. I called the Richard Lewis meltdown a year before it happened because he tried to doxx me for disagreeing with him like he did to the kid with suicidal ideations and I instantly deleted that account.

Check Martin's wiki page. He's been hustling from a very young age and has a clear pattern in his behaviors. I respect your ability to think critically and decide for yourself.

Knock on wood, life is good. Cheers!

Automod deletes and hides posts that trigger a filter automatically. I was having trouble while back and eventually msgd a mod.

key part being some posts are removed by automod without a msg.

was regarding the offmychest post by a league pro.

Yes. it get Automoderator took care of it.

Calling out professionals for wrong behavior is all right, but do so with proper evidence. This means that posts need to provide an unbiased account with evidence that a reasonable person could use to make their own informed decision. Any claims or accusations without strong evidence will only hurt that person or organization's reputation and will be considered a personal attack.

Also please note that not all removed threads have a response from us/automod.

...So if I resubmitted with a list of citations it'd be fine? It's like they're punishing you for not just posting memes. Either way they skipped posting my thread was removed while posting about others and they ignored my incredibly polite PMs asking for basic clarification. MLA or APA? I don't see it in the rules.

They do not post about removals done by automod on leagueofmeta.

automod removes threads automatically.

Clarification: We don't post about removal that are not front page removal in LoM.

If we did the subreddit would be flood to death and discussion would be impossible. (We do more than 1000 removal in a week)

not a public subreddit then, just a self publishing one for mods+friends vanity publishing.

make it private then, declare it private in the right side.

I'm not sure what you're trying to suggest. Do you mean that we should create a private subreddit were we post everytime we remove something?

Firstly, I had no idea but that's absurd. Secondly, I supported the mods through the uprising and PM'd them if they ever needed to vent. I treat them like adults. Why don't they return the favor?

Update: check the posted links. It actually had nothing to do with automod. The mods have secretly put a gag on Martin in /r/leagueoflegends.

His skunk ass is being protected by the claim that there is witch hunt going on.

That fucker shouldn't be boiling cauldrons and riding brooms. /s.

All I can tell you is to check the images I just added in the edit and to decide for yourself. Everyone deserves the chance at attempting healthy skepticism. Babysitting users is wrong.

A team owner buying and liquidating a competitive team isn't League related...? Dat logic.

Good thing we allowed it

It didn't require my permission lol wtf I was told in slack they found a thread that made it related to LoL and relayed the message for others to see.

Yea, they remove whatever they please if it doesn't suit their own agenda. Look at richard lewis.

fault of the system in both cases

You can post it to /r/RiotFreeLoL

/r/leagueoflegends mods here.

Our reasoning about the Martin Shkreli story is public and you can find it here

For the people too lazy to follow the link we enforce strict policy that every content linked on the subreddit must be linked directly to LoL/LoL fandom/LoL esport scene. Scandal in the pharmaceutical industry aren't related to League of Legends.

We allowed a discussion on the subject here because the discussion was oriented about League esports scene. Other discussion on the subject will be considered a repost (as per defined by the rules) and removed.

Next time you have that kind of issue you can ask us what's going on instead of going to cry on other subreddit.

Seems to me that it's directly discussing the LoL esports scene.

You didn't even read my post. You linked the same chain I did. No crying necessary, whatever the heck that means. Treat me like an adult.

No. You don't want to discuss or think, you just want to have your post approved.

You didn't read my post, you didn't read the rules, and you don't even bother to challenge our argumentation.

I explained our stance on the situation.

And /r/LeagueOfMeta is to open discussion between the mods and the community. If you don't say anything no one will answer you.

Now, if you have nothing to bring to the table. I have other things to do.

Disapointed by /r/conspiracy, thought you guys would at least check the guys claim.

That's the mental gymnastics again. If you're legit you shouldn't be afraid of posting for the public.

Uh?

I'm posting for the public. This is a public statement. The LoM thread was a public statement. If you don't have anything to bring to the discussion than personal attack against my person then I see no point in talking to you.

EDIT 3: Mods refuse open discussion about censorship on /r/leagueoflegends[10] but are more than willing to come here to drop insults out of the public's eye. /u/ReganDryke [11] , if you're really so comfortable opening your Martin gag to the public post it on the front page right now.

TOP KEK

There is a discussion open. You just decided to not participate in it and then go to another subreddit to complain about it.

And I won't annoy the user with a useless front page post because a kid on the Internet refuse to engage in discussion and then go whine to another subreddit.
