Quoting from Locked Discussions

Imperial Pandaa·Aug 1, 2017·2 votes·405 views

Was in a discussion with a fellow about ARAM and it was on the wrong board due to misunderstanding. I was going to open another thread for him on a more appropriate board (a Teal said Misc. but why wouldn't it be Gameplay instead? Anywho...) I was going to basically just quote post everyone's post to the new board but you can't grab the generated quote because commenting is disabled.

I guess the question is, is there a better way to redo a thread without losing prior stuff? You could link the thread but having to go back and forth the old discussion and new could be tedious. Perhaps a way for the OP to edit the post and place in the right section?

Moving threads into a different subsection is wanted but won't happen. Literally no one currently employed at Riot is working on forum improvements.

Links given by moderators for deleted threads, are only usable by the thread creator.

If you can't copy/paste the comments then I don't know of any way to retrieve comments from deleted threads.

Hi! I was the one who locked the thread --> https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/community-moderation/QksAEMi1-locked-aram-minor-problems-improving-aram

You can still hover over everything and ctrl+c and ctrl+v the conversation and use the " button at the bottom to make it into a block quote.

Yes but being able to keep the time stamps and everything that you get from click the quote buttons just seems more convenient. Of course I am also basing this off the fact I'm using a mobile phone and not a desktop currently.

Edit: Although only part of the topic, also an OP having the ability to move their post at least once may even help you all. Instead of having to lock a post immediately just for being in the wrong section. Instead offering a quick comment and possible direction to move it towards

If you want everything, I can give it to you if that makes it easier.

Nah man. Thanks for the offer though. Dude ended up making a new thread. I just think having a way to still grab text with the quote function or an ability for someone to move posts would help.

Hope you didn't mind being called a Teal.

Better than some things people call us ;)

Glad it worked out! See you out there.
