My post was not low effort nor non-constructive

My last post was removed for being low effort or non-constructive. I wouldnt be this engaged in the conversation if what you claimed by that was real.

I have spent a long time wondering whether its worth or not to post a discussion, namely my last post, for a while now. At the point where I was, from what I mean wrongfully punished, I decided to take a break from the game and see if I can quit it. I decided that I still want to try and reach my goal, which is getting good at this game before I quit and I did put effort into presenting my opinion and I am not sure whether the person who read the post actually read the post or if the point wasnt clear, the constructiveness I am trying to bring is very much like the comment I wrote to the person who commented on my post:

"That is not okay, as it forces your team to agree to your course of action or have you deliberately wreck the game. You can ask, but you cannot threaten or strongarm your team into giving up."

About this. If you go to the mall with your friends, assuming that you have been luckier in life than me, have you ever heard someone say "do we go to mcdonalds or do we go to subway?". Would those, as your friends, teammates if you will, feel threatened? You arent excluding other options. You dont want to stand in the middle of the mall, taking up space (not taking cs, not preassuring lane) but you give quick suggestions.

Now say, they would feel offended or threatened, doesnt that make them over-sensitive? Now I think that they would be taking a alienating or enemizing standpoint towards you. Meaning that you are no longers friends/teammates. If you want to elaborate on my/your points I am interested in getting insight if there is something I am missing other than my initial point which is being over-sensitive towards your own teammates.

If what I wrote on my earlier post was in violation with the rules, I would like to be presented the rules, which by the way, I can point out here so that this post doesnt get deleted as well I will give another constructive point here which is that people who click on the boards and are ready to post something should be presented these rules in some way, shape or form rather than a later threat which is rather ironic as I was being accused of using threat, which is wrong by the way, but is very clear in this sentence "While we aren't taking any actions against your account at this time, please keep in mind that continued violation of the Boards Universal Rules and sub-board guidelines may result in future punishments." that includes a link to the rules which I just checked out. I read "the bad stuff" and I read "the really bad stuff". I cant see which point I am violating.

If I can speak with the lead executive I am interested since I feel really left out when my post gets deleted without me knowing why at all.

We don't have Lead Executives, but, as one of the leaders of the Volunteer Moderation Team, I'll field this one.

It looks like it was deleted due to the self-admitted clickbait title, which isn't something we like to see on the boards and makes your post look less sincere. I've reviewed the thread, though, and will be reinstating it -- but I would request that you avoid bait titles in the future, as it can make your content seem like content intended only to provoke a reaction rather than have a discussion, and thus might make your content subject to removal.

Additionally, an opening paragraph that mentions "something that doesn't matter like multiple genders or whatever" is bordering WAY too close to a hot-button social issue. I would appreciate if you removed this paragraph entirely, because it dilutes your point and skews the conversation in a bad direction.

I will respond to this separately, as it is not the same as the moderation-related issue here, and would be better addressed in the original thread.

Your example is inaccurate, as there both examples accomplish the objective everyone wants: have dinner.

In your actual example (where you asked if you should intentionally feed, or open mid), you took a group of players who wanted one thing (to play the game) and gave them two options of how they'd either give up the game or get a bad game. A closer metaphor would be my friends going to the mall for dinner, and the options I give them are "we go home hungry or we eat at the dumpster." One option isn't what we want, and the other is a really awful experience.

You may have meant it as "here are two options out of several," but it comes ACROSS as "open mid or I feed." Intended or not, that is a threat to the other players in the game, and isn't appropriate.
