https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1050566152 The "interview" with the "Rioter"
A streamer was doing an interview with "RiotLillith" on being part of the "Lead of Operations Client Development". The "RiotLillith" person created a twitlonger and Riot Swimbananas replied.
I encourage you to watch the first 2minutes of the interview for the proof in a discord call with RiotSwimbananas.
Edit: I am not the person doing the interview. I am just a random viewer. The interviewer is HypoTube.

Claims were made not long ago that I am not actually a Rioter, with "evidence" to prove that. The problem here lies that this "evidence" is not verifiable, where as my credentials are. Furthermore, there was even someone making their own claim of being a Rioter as well who did not have credentials. With the additional research done by myself, a few trusted individuals as well as my own superior within Riot, we have found that there is no tie to Riot Games from this individual making these claims.
Is the "fake Rioter" accusing Mel of being fake? Like, one of the more recognizable non-caster Rioters? Is that really what that Twitlonger is saying? If that's the case I'm flabbergasted but I'm so down for this rollercoaster
yes. thats what that says.
I'll be doing a full video over it. The nitty gritty though, I simply contacted Swimbananas, her dm's are literally open on twitter. Ultimately whenever someone tells me they are something or someone I go with it for their sake and if they continue to be around me I try and get the truth on the matter. I worked with rioters, got their approval and we were good to go! Truth is, I never believed her in the first place.
Edit: It also doesn't help there is a Riot Lily and Riot Lilith with one L. There's no way Riot would be okay with such a similar name.
I'm not an expert on the topic, but I don't think there's much (if any) policy around "similarity of Rioter names." There are at least two Riot Penguins, and probably a variety of other similar and/or exact match Riot names. Situations where that matters just don't really come up (the only situation I can think of was some humorous confusion around which Riot Penguin was being referenced in a random normal game I was playing).
Who are all of these jokers? I've been moderating for hypotube (H-TUBE to his close friends) for years now. Why, we went to the same kindergarten
im hypotube and WHO ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE
yes. thats what that says.
Hm....

I think there are only a few rules for rioters on names.
You can't steal names. I can't change my Riot name to Riot Faker or Riot Sneaky.
Can't be inappropriate. (Not going to give examples, y'all know!)
Hell there's no rule in having Riot in your name if you work at riot.
Has anyone tried being annoyingly witty and naming themself Riot Riot?
No but this is a solid idea. Maybe Riot Rito Riot... thinking of future ideas :P
There are multiple "Rito" accounts on different servers (seems like every server has/had one), but none are Riot-flagged accounts - no Riot Rito, sadly. Pretty sure that Riot Rito Riot wouldn't work though, because I don't believe you can have Riot in your base summoner name anymore (Riot employees can add it in front of theirs ofc, but anyone else would have been prompted to change it at some point).
Similar to the RiotRiot example I mention below, most Rito accounts were created years ago, as you might expect with any popular name (like "Lilith").
It was more a joke :P But I do appreciate the knowledge share!
Rito would be a bit confusing too haha
