Thread deleted for lack of effort

A warning was issued for a thread by me that was apparently "deleted out of a lack of effort". I've been trying to find it in order to appeal to the mods about my warning, but have been unable to locate the warning. Any help in attempting to locate it would be greatly appreciated. I would like to argue against this, because if I make the same mistake again, according to board rules, I will get a one day ban, and because I don't agree that it should have been deleted. There was no offensive content in there, just me suggesting an extension of URF. There was literally nothing to elaborate on, other than my suggestion of removing ARURF and replacing it with actual URF. I was not trying to make a large, grandiose argument. Just trying to pitch in an idea for Riot, and give a small nudge for greater discussion further on in the thread.

Hey there, Tuition Fee.

So your post was removed on 5/28/2018, and it was specifically mentioned that we were not taking action against your account, but merely removing non-constructive content. This sort of removal isn't a problem unless we see it very frequently or very intentionally, so you don't need to worry there.

Looking at it, this one was definitely a discretionary removal. While the idea of normal Urf with Trading/Drafting is fine, I suspect what caused the moderator in question to consider it low-effort posting was partly the meme-y title "Keep cancelling clash so we have more URF", which made the thread seem more mocking/joking than perhaps you had intended, and more appropriate for General Discussion than Gameplay.

Personally, I wouldn't have removed this, but we do allow moderators some level of discretion, and the post didn't amount to more than "bring URF back," which is something Riot has mentioned numerous times isn't happening until they can solve the larger issues with it.

I'd be willing to reinstate the thread if you want, but, after a month and a half, I don't believe it would get much attention. I will, however, encourage you to look into a few of the reasons Riot stated for NOT bringing URF back and, if you think you have a solution, to post your suggestions.

In the future, I encourage you to come here or to the Moderation Discord as soon as possible, as we're always happy to take a second look at a removal.
