Why is saying "L", so bad?
So today I muted for a week, because of "bad sportsmanship." So apparently saying a letter of the alphabet is considered toxic or something. The reason I said "L" was because I kited away from someone on Cubecore. "L" means "loss" but why would you get muted over saying that someone else lost? And I said "L" because the guy that was chasing me was hella annoying, and I thought his reaction would be funny. Anyway, I wasn't trying to be toxic or anything, it's like saying "get kited" or something and then getting muted. PainfulPvP said that L wasn't toxic, and it's really just a joke. If you notice on other servers, staff will even say "L". It seems pretty stupid just to mute someone for simply saying a letter of the alphabet. I can understand if someone said something along the lines of "hold that L kid", but not just L by itself. So can somebody please tell me why L is so bad?

(NOTE: The punishment time is not what I don't understand considering that I've been muted before.)

And he makes the rules on Badlion?
Saying "L" is not "so bad", it is a 15 minute mute for the first time, but if you don't learn your lesson and keep going then it turns into a week mute like you have.

But why is saying "L" mutable in the first place?

So saying that someone lost is bad sportsmanship? I play competitive baseball, and saying that we beat a team isn't bad sportsmanship. So why is it all of the sudden bad sportsmanship in a block game? Frankly, it would be more reasonable for it to be bad sportsmanship irl rather than in a virtual block game.

When you finish playing a "competitive" basketball game do you shake there hands saying haha "losers" "you guys lost" or haha "L"… no you don't its just rude and makes you sound ignorant. There no need to make chat toxic saying L to everyone you kill, kite away from or what ever the case may be. Just say GF, GG or nothing at all. Its server rules. If you think you don't deserve that mute please make a report and we will deal with it accordingly https://www.badlion.net/forum/category/8

It pisses people off, like you beat someone in a game do you say "L" or loser? You know you can do it because nothing will happen to you outside the game. But if you said that shit in real life if you beat them in a sport something is bound to go wrong either with you to getting into a shouting match then it goes into a fist fight. Just have respect for others. Don't say anything that you wouldn't say to a random stranger in real life. Don't be a dick. Just say GG or GF

Saying L is short for "take this L" or "hold this L" which is disrespectful and bad sportsmanship

Saying that you beat someone isn't a mute from my understanding unless it's changed. Being a bad sportsman is.

I agree… a letter shouldnt be muteable cmon.

k and l are so close to eachother. I bet atleast 10 guys got false muted by that.

It's just annoying and people use it to make the other person angry

Same as bow spamming and kiting the whole match, hitting them just to go backwards and bowing. If saying L is bad sportsmanship what about that. And there are so many things that make people angry, like people merging you ur bad, or runner, or bow spammer etc. shouldn't that be mutable?

Yeah saying L was a joke at the start but now it is just used to piss people off. What is annoying however, I'm sure many of you experience this, is when people say BIG GG or anything sarcastic. Annoying as it works to piss people off but there is no way you can hand out mutes for saying it.

OK OK OK OK OK DUDE LOOK AT DIS



L means hold this L which then stands for hold this loss which then means bad sportsmanship which then means they aren't too happy which then means that they're gonna splatter you all over the wall irl one day

if a mod mutes you for a lowercase L then the manager will say it was valid
