URL as ID, advertisement on the radiant leaderboard, how is it allowed?

I remember riot specifically stated in-game id cannot be url or any sort of advertising. However this guy on the NA server leaderboard with an url as his id, advertising his website and selling a guide for an entire act (3months). He is not banned or forced to change id, and riot is allowing him to put ads on the leaderboard. Does anyone know what's going on? Are some manager level riot employees taking a cut from their profit? Also, based on how many games he played this act, there could be account sharing and win trading behind this account, I have no proof but only suspicions. He was radiant rank 1 for awhile, currently radiant rank 5. Wondering if we know about this?

ya, so url is allowed. I told him to expect 500 urls on the radiant leaderboard if they don't do anything to stop it

and if riot allow ads to exist in their server they might want to check if it is a scam first, it would be funny to see s*x toy and scam urls in the future

I'm not really down to discuss the nature or essence of an id "poppinsguide com#buy". For me it is clearly an ad. If you are confused I'm sorry.

I see, you didn't read the main post, or you don't have the concept of the game you are playing is a server. that's ok, we call servers because these online games are hosted on servers.

it sounds weirdly specific to say servers if val doesnt rly have custom servers except for vct but.. you do you

I'm just going to discuss about ads in game from now on. If riot allow this, I or anyone else can pay 5k for a radiant to name change to "p0rnhub com" or even scam urls. I can imagine the scammers make a lot of money off that. That is my main issue My second issue is win trading and 10man boosting raid ruinning the radiant leaderboard
