Where is the voting system, board devs.

Remove the notifications/updates, sure. Give a UI overhaul that no one really cared about, ok. Remove our ability to vote on posts? What the fuck. Are you guys just trying to kill your board or were the down vote bots so powerful and you don't know how to deal with them you just removed the ability to vote on posts all together. Seriously why are there so many changes being enacted that no one wants? The lack of ability that riot gives the board devs is just annoying.

This was the only change the mod team made and we disabled it after exhausting all other options. Ultimately, we would require Riot to make changes to the Boards format if we are to tackle the vote botting in other ways. It is frustrating I agree, but it's about all we can do at this point.

At the same time though, people have been abusing the votes in many ways already. Some people downvoted just because the title had "yasuo" in it or whatever.

The vote system itself was a nice idea, but with so many people who downvote for no reason, or upvote bad logic in the first place.... im not sure how much i want the vote on the main posts back. Personal opinion.

One of the biggest games in the world, and these are its official Boards.

But at least the client is fine, and the game is really enjoyable, balanced, and with a good not rigged matchmaking system, not intended to force you to grind to rank up [ Riot Games Support on Twitter: "The climb takes a lot longer now. This is intentional." ].

Basically every aspect of this game is managed by so competent people.

I like the downvote bots.

It be like that, sometimes.

Give context man. The bots were downvoting the post (oh shit my bad YOU CANT SEE THAT NOW) and it had like -50 points for no reason so I said, in a satirical manner that I liked how the post was being downvoted by bots. You're a board dev, please don't take stuff out of context. We expect better from you guys and you wonder why we complain.

Here's a better contextualized quote. (That came after the one Wuks quotes, meaning they had to scroll past this one btw)

Already on edge (for uninstalling league). Their general disrespect to their community and toxic behavior towards their player base get's real fucking annoying. The amount of downvote bots on the board right now (sorry about that, this post is currently at 0 score so I thought I'd throw that in) and they don't seem to care.

Added the (for uninstalling league) for context, as you should when you pull a quote to another post

Edits: Grammar, 2nd quote, better context of the situation of the post at the time, added the context of the quote.

This person literally laughed in my face when I attempted to question an action that was later admitted to be vague and confusing on the discord. He also tried to corner me into saying I'm a racist - when that had nothing to do with the action whatsoever.

Appalling that this user is still allowed a "boards developer" tag when that's not even what they are.

Wuks. i hope it's all for the most fair system ever. i really trust you and riot will make this place legit a place of respected equal harmony. i believe in a fair non biased system of equality and respect. i believe we can be more than reptiles.

Good luck. Here is my Hextech railgun.
It comes preloaded with 25 i cbf rounds. Get some head shots of reality and help this place be a reality.
