Mods are still removing posts which question them and criticize Riot.

Other than having a significantly upvoted post of mine which criticized Riot for poor game play quality, they have also started to remove posts which call the mods out for their Nazi attitude.

At this point I don't even care about whether these mods lose their rights but I've seen more competent people in 22 years of my life and I can't believe these monkeys were best suited to the job.

(In b4 the mods remove my post for violating their sense of sensitivity. You guys are legit insecure and can't stand having your wrongs pointed out and deserve to take a long hard look at why the boards treat you'll like crap these days).

Jikker was the good cop, so I'll play the other cop: I looked through your removals.

You have one removal about a post discussing how you're dedicated to trolling players in ranks and effectively taunting the community. This is not appropriate.
You have two removals for content posted on Gameplay that is better suited to Rant. I understand the distinction can sometimes be tricky, and we're working on guidelines to help clarify that.
You have seven removals for various insulting and/or crass comments.

You can criticize Riot and/or moderation. You just have to follow the following two guidelines:

Post your content in the appropriate place.
Follow the rules.

As Jikker said, you can criticize without being insulting. If you continue to be insulting, you will continue to face moderator action.

While the Moderation Team does accept and take criticism seriously, any criticism on the Boards needs to be constructive. This is stated in the Board Universal Rules:

Criticism is an important and useful method of feedback, but must be respectful and constructive in nature. Non-constructive forms of criticism (such as questioning another poster's intelligence or requesting the firing or removal of an individual) are violations of this rule.

Insulting others, comparing them to real life extremist groups, etc... is not constructive criticism and subject to removal under this rule whether it is directed towards other players, Riot, the Moderation Team, or anyone really. If you have examples of removed comments that were not violating this rule, post them and I'll be more than happy to look into it.

One thing you need to understand, is that as soon as you invoke Nazis or Hitler in an argument, especially on the Internet, you've lost and nobody will take you seriously.

This post provides absolutely no discussion. You don’t even say what your problem is other than a vague “they removed a post”.

Of course they are going to remove posts that are only insulting with no value whatsoever. Calling them nazi, monkeys, etc. does ABSOLUTELY nothing to make anyone agree with you. In fact, I’m all but positive that we will have a moderator come by and show us all just how deserving of deletion your last post was.

Insulting others doesn’t make for healthy discussion, period.

I mean , I really hate how mods do their stuff here and I dislike a lot of them , but this is needed , Normally a thread complaining about the state of the game has to stay , but when there are 1000 threads monthly about it then something is wrong ,1 should stay and the rest of threads must be deleted for reposting. They should do like most of communities and reddit , if you repost , your post must be deleted.

you should've seen how quick my comment got removed when I told someone ("go back to your other league like game") lol

I wouldn’t bother calling it out, because there isn’t much logic being applied towards comment moderation atm. Just don’t don’t say anything that could be twisted into an insult or micro-agression and don’t be sarcastic and your post should be safe.

I can't believe these monkeys were best suited to the job.

Maybe they are the only ones available who also defend Rito at all cost? :O
