So certain mod deleted my post without even reading it and having idea what it was about

There is thread by Moody P where he praises CertainlyT, either in serious or trolly or sarcastic manner, who knows. Some guy made exaggerated post about how Moody P would defend CT's design no matter how bad they are, the exaggeration being the last line in the image. I simply pointed out he criticized WW's design - point being that WW was made by CT and yet Moody P does not defend the design, in fact he hates it.

My comment was removed and I got message about how I should be civilized about other people's opinions. WTF.

My comment, that you can still read, because the guy quoted it and this mod couldn't bother to get any further in discussion and remove the quotation because pressing DELETE button on reported comments is his only job now:

Actually just recently he criticized WW

This is literally it. Once again, you want proof? Go to that thread and read it since the quotation isn't removed.

The message I got:

That, my dears, was not even my post. It was the post I reacted to, as you can obviously see because the > symbol symbolises quotation. That was the post I was quoting because QUOTE is actual function on these Boards. You know, it provides clarity as to what you react to.

This guy, that I won't name, didn't bother doing the one job he has - reading it. He literally casually presses DELETE button on my post without reading it. There is absolutely no excuse. It was obvious I was quoting, with formatted quotation and without, it was obvious what my post actually was but this guy just presses DELETE without reading the whole thing.

Mods are supposed to prevent toxicity in discussion but there is nothing more toxic I encountered on these Boards than being afraid of posting because among million of reasons why some mod can get triggered, you also have to add that they simply won't read it, because reading 6 words is really hard for this mod.

And I have to read something like:

While we understand that you may be upset or frustrated, the Moderation Team does not accept this as a valid excuse to be uncivilized, and we ultimately require that all discussions on the Boards be civil.

Get off your high horse. The only difference between the two of us is that you have DELETE button and are itchy to use it. Let me make similar line and you, who know who you are, read this:

While I understand you are volunteer, the Boards Members do not accept this as valid excuse to be this careless, and we ultimately require you to be able to read at least 6 words.

I've been posting less and less on these Boards exactly because of this. Because the Mod Team recently got too obssesed with pressing that DELETE button. Because of your high horse. Because YOU require civil discussion, and I HAVE to do as your rules say, but some members of your team cannot be bothered to spend 5 seconds googling obvious Rhaast quote or because some members of your team cannot be bothered to read 6 words before they hit that DELETE button.

If you want to lecture me, let ME lecture you - the DELETE button is serious tool of regulation and I am not being demanding or uncivil when I require you to do as small of a task as to read the whole post before you throw yourself at the button. I can tolerate many things but this is example of a mod literally not understanding what QUOTE is, not being bothered to read 6 words but I am glad he is still allowed to have access to DELETE button.

And there was no reason to delete my original post because I literally did what the rule demands:

Just state your side and exit the conversation gracefully rather than give them the opportunity to pick a fight.

I literally just half-defended Moody P, stating that he doesn't defend CT designs by principle because there is at least one he not only criticised but outright hates.

And I will say this one more time to stress how ridiculous this situation is. My post had 6 words. It was easier for this mod to jump at DELETE button than to read them. Also, the announcement states it was sent by Riot Games, but it wasn't Rioter's action, it was of a specific mod - just to clear that to someone who might be unfimiliar with these announcements.

The mod who did this removal is not around this morning, but when he's available I'll have him take a second look at this action. There may be something I'm missing, or it may have been a mistaken removal, and we'll check back in once we've had time to get his thoughts and reasoning on the action performed.

UPDATE: I have spoken with the moderator in question. It seems there may have been a mistake on our part with the message that was sent. To quote that moderator: "I removed it because it quoted a post I removed for being low-effort and lacked context without it."

The fact that the message was sent mentioning your violation of the rules appears to have been inaccurate (possibly a copy/paste error), and my apologies for that slip-up on our part. The message should have stated that your post was being removed as post-removal clean-up, which we sometimes do when removing a problematic post that has several responses that are nonsensical without that problematic post's context.

"Actually just recently he criticized WW"

HOW IS THAT AGAINST THE RULES?!? Come on...

No need for proof cuz I'm the witness. That comment was directed to me.

Oh look, another moderator that's going to get another love tap for being extremely lazy and incompetent. Don't worry though. I reckon you'll get a one day suspension like I did for calling them out :)!!! By the very same incompetent moderator!

From the sounds of things, the post above yours was fairly rude.... so chances are it was a misclick.

Settle down with the conspiracy there we are all only human.

This occasionally happens on these forums. Some moderators get triggered for some reason. I was banned for 24 hours for cracking a couple of "dick" jokes, but people who insulted me under my post got nothing. This place has strict rules.

In your case it has to be a mistake, otherwise this moderator should be relieved of his position and a 24h ban would fit quite good=)

I got suspended after they deleted 5 of my messages in 2 days, i am going to repeat what got me suspended : this Board and Riot games are dead as long as the people in charge or with any power are enforcing a distorted logic, a wicked one a totalitarian one.

You moderators are just deleting posts "you don't like", non offensive posts, criticism is not an offense get off your high horse.

Abuse of power by mods.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry I wasn't more clear with the messaging. You should also know the action was marked as "No Warning" because it was a cleanup. That means it doesn't count against you when we review for escalation.

Personally i find it interesting that moody goes out of his way to target and enrage people into anger and hatred yet the posts where he obviously does this are never removed.

They disagreed with you so they removed it. They have a tendency to abuse their mod privileges from time to time.

Stuff like this is bound to happen when Riot let players handle the work they should be doing them selves....There's been plenty of bias cases from the "mods" on these boards.

I've had a comment on a victim complex jungler post deleted, this was quoted about multiple times. Those weren't deleted.

they were quick to delete it and 24h ban me when i reposted it and yet, the quoted ones are still up there to this day.
