can the mods jump on and remove posts that are political faster?

It took way WAY too long to lock a certain political thread, it was there when I woke up and it only just got locked as i got back as the sun was setting.... I feel like it defeats the point of having this rule if the threads are allowed to be up for a day, they have already done thier damage by then.

In general it feels like political threads sometimes get through and others get deleted, if its against the rules cant the rule be consistent and not allow ANY political threads?

Also, there was another thread posting screenshots of someones twitter and basically it turned into a post to mock them, again, feel like that shit should be deleted much much faster than it was, otherwise I feel like the mods are responsible for not trying to curtail the angry mob on here as much as they could...

is there something I can do to speed along the process?

It's not for lack of trying, but you have to remember we're an all-volunteer team with real jobs, other hobbies and off days just like everyone else.

This is also not a problem that can be solved by "just add warm bodies." Volunteers have to remain professional, fair and show consistently good judgment in what are, frankly, some pretty rough situations. Finding the middle ground between supporting the various communities want and what the Boards need is not a simple "click-and-remove" task. There's a lot of discussion and review that goes on behind the scenes. Lots of people don't qualify and lots of people burn out after a while.

They're trying, it's the most popular game in the world. Riot can't fix it all immediately
