Got this message this morning

While I understand the comment isn't related to the post, I hardly think this is trolling/spamming. I'm asking someone where they got their player icon (it looked cool). I could understand if I was mocking the person or making a random statement like "Yeah I like chocolate too", but this is a legit question about something featured on the boards.

I won't have time for a few hours, but I'll take a look when I can. Unless there's something I'm missing, this should be a fine exception as it's a fairly minor derail on a valid board-related question.

Take your time, it's not the end of the world to me. I'm just curious if something changed or if I've just been lucky the past few times I've asked questions like this on boards posts.

Ended up finding a few minutes. I've undeleted the comment in question, as it's unlikely to significantly derail the conversation.

You can also get Limited Time icon from the mystery icon box, I got the Garen craftable icon one from one of those.

I mean, it would be irrelevant to most conversations, but I don't think that's troll worthy.

Why can't we have volunteers work on the manual reports system in a tribunal fashion? That'd be helpful IMO

Nope. We're people, and that means sometimes we slip up a bit. In this case our policy is to avoid off-topic comments, but this one was safe to leave up since it was an easily answered question that didn't risk derailing the thread and clearly wasn't trolling or attempting to irritate the OP. Basically, the removal was not incorrect as per the rules, but it was also a case where it wasn't actually a problem even though it was against the letter of the rules, so I reversed it. :)

Nope. As above, it was a normal removal in line with the letter of the law as far as the board rules go. Sometimes the rules can afford to be flexible though, which is why we have things like this board. :)

It's really no secret some of the mods on these boards are really nit picky and some aren't. It's really just your luck of the draw on which mod you get to review your thing honestly.

I'm honestly surprised there are so many people here complaining that they have a rule about deleting off-topic comments. Every respectful forum I've ever been on in my life has the exact same rule, and the few I've been on that didn't were utter mayhem.

Well done, Riot.

Don't thank Riot, thank the volunteers. Riot only visits this board to upvote and comment on memes and ignore problematic threads asking for answers.
