content erroneously removed

i recently had a post removed but the moderator failed to consider that it was actually humorous in nature. I commented that someone's suggestion was the dumbest thing i had ever heard (clearly outlandish and far from pointed enough to be a true insult) and immediately followed it with exaggerated and superfluous credentials so as to cement the comical tone. In the following sentence i then switched to a more real criticism of the suggestion to add further contrast to the initial joke while also explaining why the suggestion was not desirable. Could my content be reinstated, i'd be willing to compromise and add the /s tag to blatantly note the tone.

Your post did not read as humorous in nature at all. Concepts & Creations is a place for sharing ideas and receiving critique, but that critique must be respectful. Comments like this are not:

thats like the dumbest ult ive ever heard and i regularly read the entirety of new champion suggestions by total noobs in the concepts and creations section.

also clearly you havent really played her long enough to understand her, i suggest you limit suggestions to champions youre familiar with so as to not make suggestions completely from left field such as this.

While you did give the critique "Also removing intervention from kayle would completely gut her identity and also it'd be way too op as a summoner spell. Everyone would take it.", this does not justify the unnecessarily rude and aggressive nature of your other comments.

You are drastically mistaking the tone of the initial paragraph (which may be subjective, hence my concession to place the note of sarcasm in the post) Moreover you are misleading others into doing the same with your paraphrasing by removing the second sentence of my original post from the quoted area and inserting it below. Perhaps you did that to argue your point about the tone of my post but if your argument was correct in the first place then quoting my original post without adulteration should have been sufficient, should it not?

Typically insults are not allowed even if it's in a joking tone. To compromise, I recommend leaving the insult or mockery out entirely, and simply going with the constructive criticism part.

The only funny, yet insulting, things to say is self-deprecating humor. Targeting another with an insult is just being a jerk.
