Mods regularly do questionable things and later backtrack with an "Oops, sorry, not sure why that happened." Maybe they'll get back to you, most likely they won't. They're better at censoring than actually enforcing rules and creating discussion.

Please feel free to show where there has been a legitimate concern on this board that has not been addressed by a moderator.

I'm sure they'll see that when they look at this thread (as they look at all of them on this board) and fix the oversight.

Or you know, his post was utter trash and there was literally no point to waste space on the boards with such a post? You guys never think more than 2 steps ahead smh.

If it was trash then it would get 0 upvotes/downvotes or a few downvotes and dissapear into the feed les than an hour later. Mods stepping in is unnecessary and honestly just makes them look stupid.

See, people around here don't understand when they talk dogshit, like how bronzies don't realise that they are bad at the game and think they deserve challenger. But I don't want people to understand that, I want the mods just to remove such garbage. Either the people like it or not, they will adapt and these boards will turn into a better place. A place Riot will visit eventually.

Yeah, no. Idiots will leave, there I fixed it for you. You genuinely think getting rid of shitposters is a bad idea? Well, THAT is the problem of these boards. These boards aren't taken seriously because the majority here posts straight up garbage. Reddit has overall better quality and even that is debatable.

If I make a "yasuo is so fucking broken omfg so op" thread every 4 minutes and mods delete those (shit)posts then I would make another (shit)post like OP did here then leave.

I don't want to read about flatearthers in a scientific magazine/board/subreddit every goddamn page.

If you just think they're removing shitposts then you're blind. I'm so glad you're all for destroying the boards. GG pats on back.

Hello,

I've reviewed your thread and I believe the reasoning was that it came off as more of a casual conversation than an active, productive discussion of Gameplay. GD is the sub-board for people to chat with each other, share experiences, and casually discuss thoughts and ideas. If you're just looking for some people to try things out and say "yes it worked" or "nah I felt like I was trolling and lost" then GD is probably the best place for that.

Having read through the thread you wrote, I think you could easily create it into a more expansive thread to better detail what your strategy would look like and why it would work well. For example, you could suggest a team comp that would work well with this strategy. Which champions would be the best for each jungler position? What ADC or laner would you pick that could handle the 1v2 while waiting for ganks? Would you be looking at the main jungler as being a carry because they are power farming and contesting neutral objectives? Would the ganking jungler be a traditional jungler or more of a support champion? Would you utilize this to counter jungle and shut down the jungle? How would this be better than a roaming support? There are lots of questions you could answer or discuss to promote discussion on the sub-board.

The removal was without warning and was a curation removal since we are unable to move threads so this won't be counting against your account's status. I did notice you reposted the thread on GD. If you would like to discuss the topic casually on that thread, I can leave that thread up for you. If you'd like to recreate the thread with more details or explanation of your strategy like I noted above, then I'll gladly lock your GD version for you and you can take your discussion to Gameplay.

Let me know which you'd prefer and if you have anymore questions.

so mods can dictate what is or is not "gameplay discussion"? what? if its a discussion about gameplay casual or not it belongs in a gameplay discussion board general discussion here is more about meme content and off topic discussions so i really fail to see how a discussion about gameplay belongs in there at all

I was more giving the reasoning why the mod that did the removal decided it belonged in GD. GD is for off topic and some memes, but it is also for casual League discussion or informal League discussion for a bit of better wording. The thread seemed to be a more casual mention. If you continue reading, I gave suggestions for how to improve the thread to remove the parts that make it more on the casual side because I do think it would be fitting for Gameplay given it is discussing a strategy.

We're hoping that we'll be able to post the new guidelines for Gameplay soon to help people better understand the direction the sub-board is heading and how we're going to help it get there. That's the main reason I offered some ideas on how to expand on the thread to promote more discussion.

"We're hoping that we'll be able to post the new guidelines for Gameplay soon to help people better understand" The boards already understood the new proposed rules and have already stated their mass disapproval. So stop with the garbage already. Out whoever did the removal and vow to stop making these poor decisions in the future eh? (Especially not until you shoehorn the new rules in.)

Oh look another bad moderation. good job. Fix it.

Mods at their finest lmao Are they competing with reddit in terms of which site is the worst for League players to talk on?

Where is the removal for spam shit like this post https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-discussion/4LbyUTQu-toast-appreciation-thread?comment=000d0000

Oh wait that post is made by a mod, oh fuck I forgot they are above the rules xD

It’s in General Discussion. The threshold for low effort there is low for all posts.

Think about a limbo line that microbes can just baaaaaarely get under.

Ya know, you should have just called me out on a shitty metaphor.

It's a limbo line, but Kareem Abdul Jabar can get under it with stilts. You'd have to ride a spaceship straight into the bar for posts in GD to be removed for low-effort.

I'm not talking about removing posts for low-effort only. I'm talking about how you will remove posts like the ones OP is talking about, but if a mod posts trash like the one I mentioned, its all gucci.

Are we allowed to post trash? Fine then, I might get inspirational today, I'm just wondering how long it will take me to get banned. Cuz ik i will.

But anyway, all I have to say now is this: if we're allowed to post shit, then say it, but then dont remove posts like OP's while leaving other trash. Cuz then you (mods) look like incompetent idiots who're enforcing their rules as they see it fit.

The OPs post was in gameplay. CW’s post is in GD. Huge difference in what can be posted and whether or not low effort posts are acceptable. They are allowed in GD, but not in gameplay.

I don’t know your history, but it’s highly unlikely a ban would result from making low effort posts, unless it were extreme, had other violations present, or ignoring multiple prior warnings for low effort content.
