When I post about a topic that I've experienced many times, I get downvoted. But when someone makes a simple post with 1 sentence based on the same topic with different wordings, they get upvoted. What the fuck?
I don't care about votes but it's annoying for people to riot against my explanation and yet support other players BASED ON THE SAME TOPIC with little explanation.
This is my opinion as a community member, not as a moderator:
Your recent post (the one I'm assuming you're referring to - this one) is quite passive aggressive in tone. The boards tend to like ideas that are well thought out (as yours were), however many players don't want to sit and read a post that makes them think they're being lectured to or talked down upon.
Further, many players don't like posts that make accusations against Riot without fully explaining why. You make a lot of accusations in that thread (such as Riot supports feeders, Riot supports AFKing, etc) without providing any evidence for those claims. To put it quite frankly, your "explanation" is more of a rant than it is an actual explanation. The entirety of your post is complaining that you lost LP, then saying Riot supports AFK behaviors.
What I recommend for you in the future is to take your ideas and formulate them a little differently. Don't try to be edgy with the opening (as you did with the Don't matter), avoid talking down to people, avoid making accusations (to start at least). Start the post by explaining the issue and the background - so for your example your background may be why you want to make the post (ex: I think I have seen more AFKs and feeders recently). Next, you go into any hard data, numbers, or experiences you have to corroborate your issue - ex: In my recent games, I have had an AFK X% of the time - in my most recent 5 games, 3 different people have claimed they were intentionally feeding in chat.
After you've defined, explained, and backed up your issue, then is when you can go into making accusations if you can back them up - so in this case only after you clearly define your issue can you begin to speculate on why your issue is an issue. It is usually best to acknowledge that you are merely speculating - none of us know why the issue is an issue. Maybe the IFS is down. Maybe they weren't actually intentionally feeding. Maybe you just didn't get a feedback from it. None of those are outlandish things to assume may have played a part in it. What is an outlier would be to assert that Riot somehow supports AFK/intentional feeding behaviors in game, when there is much evidence to the contrary (the fact that they ban them, the fact that they are banned with escalated punishments on first offense, etc). If you want to make an outlandish assertion such as that, you need to really provide proof and back up your claim with a logically sound argument.
Generally speaking, after you provide your speculation on what is causing the issue, it's virtually always necessary to provide a solution or to admit that you don't know what the solution is. You are much less likely to get upvotes if your thread just tells people what the problem is. You are much more likely to get upvotes if your thread identifies the problem, dissects it, and provides possible solutions to the problem. Again, your solutions need to be logically sound and actually feasible - "hire moderators who will watch every single game live as it is happening" is not a feasible solution and will likely be met with downvotes.
I'd like to end by again saying that this is merely my opinion as a community member. You are, of course, not obligated to follow my suggested style of posting, and many players are able to efficiently and effectively present their ideas in a more concise format. Your posting style will always be based on what your thread subject is - if your thread's subject is to say that you appreciate a recent buff/nerf and think it was right on target, you obviously have no "problem" to identify and thus the "problem" and "solution" portions of your post won't exist.
