Why was my post removed :(

I posted a cover of Rise I recently made in Story, Art & Sound.

I had done the same in the past with my Ornn cover. It got plenty of comments, even from Rioters, in the same board, and nothing happened :c

But for some reason this one got removed, saying it belongs to Concepts & Creations.

Now, Music is both Art and Sound so that's at least direct matching 2/3rds of the board title >.<
However this was not really a Concept, or that much of a Creation since it's a cover of already existing music. Not to mention it also has the original Rise video on it.

This means at least one of these things happened, if not several:

The post got removed wrongfully.
Boards does not considering Music to be part of the Art (or Sound?) in League.
Boards lacks clarity severely regarding these posts.
KittySuppSquad hates me : (

And in any case, can't the post just be moved instead of deleted?

So, I am not a mod or anything but this is my input.

There is just a thin line between the two sections. One is meant for things already exists inside League and the other is for user created content such as a cover.

This is where the line gets blurry though, and if I make an incorrect assumption on the info I have; please correct me. You did the Ornn before, which I take it is from thr Log In theme. The Ornn Log in Music/Screen was/is a part of the game as it was there for everyone when booting up the game. Now, your cover of "Rise" is technically different. "Rise" is not part of the game in any form outside of optionally watching it.

A Cover is still technically a Creation as well. It is a Creation that you should credit the original creator with, yes, but it is still a Creation.

Other possibilities include that a year ago (or more) when you posted the Ornn, the Moderation team was still adjusting to new members and enforcing rules more consistently. This could also just have been a judgement call by KittySuppSquad (doesn't mean they hate you) and could be reversed.

As for moving; the forums weren't programmed with that function when they were created.

Hello. Me and KittySuppSquad talked about it and felt that it was better fit for Concepts & Creations but agreed that an argument could be made for Story, Art & Sound as well. Unfortunately if we could simply move threads we would, but we can't so we don't.

Hi there im just popping in here. I do not hate you at all. I'm simply making it so there is a fair chance for your post to get the proper traction. Since your video was a creation made by you, it would get the best results in the Concepts and Creations board. The reason your previous post did not get deleted is because if something gets enough traction we tend to not delete as its counter productive because it a) got a lot of up votes b) got a lot of comments and c) a Rioter was saying good things.

That sucks. Nice cover though. I always figured concepts and creations was for fanmade stuff and story art and sound was for talking about official releases. Can mods clear that up in the descriptions and rules for those specific boards? Thanks.

Fellow cover artist here: We're hated. Get used to it. Not many people are going to hear your pleas or care, unfortunately. The same shit happens across e v e r y platform. Sorry.

Bumped just in case the improbable happens
