Title. There isn't much more to say about it. Mods, you need to get on it and stop letting these clog up the boards.

And it is something they may do if the post is reported. Do keep in mind these are volunteer mods; they don't get paid. Thsi means they aren't required to constantly monitor the boards in their free time.

If you don't have the time to be a mod, don't volunteer. It's that simple.

Or...you could find something else to worry about and not insult the voluteer boards staff. Use the scrolly bar and skip the posts you don't like.

If you think something doesn't belong somewhere and is in the wrong board, please report it and I promise we'll take a look at it =)

It's called freedom of speech.

As long as they post reasonable arguments, I don't see what the problem is.

Although, I would agree that all of the "I'm quitting LoL" posts should be posted under the RANT section of the Boards instead of Gameplay or General Discussion.

Um... yeah, exactly. By definition a thread that posts reasonable arguments that can actually be discussed is not a rant thread.

How do you know if something is a rant or not? I agree with you that rants don't belong in gameplay, but there's clearly more that needs to be said here.

It's actually fairly simple. If they back up a point with evidence sufficient to consider what they said to actually be an argument, or specifics for what needs to be changed, then it's a topic for discussion. If it's just, "[x] is op and I hate them pls nerf," then it's a rant.

Alright that seems reasonable. Let's take a day or two to look at examples and to finalize your idea before you present it to mods. You know? Work out the kinks and stuff?

If you post examples in replies to me, I'll help you work it out as best I can.

Yes sir or maam. But can I go on lunch break first?
