Apparently I was "attacking" someone?

A post of mine got removed and I have no clue why. The closest thing I could find to an "attack" was:

As we all know Riot is planning to nerf power farming junglers because ganking junglers are too dominant. (Cause why not?) The absurdity of this logic can be saved for other posts,but right now in this first portion of this post I'm here to talk about just how much, number-wise, power-farming junglers will be nerfed in the beginning of season 9 compared to the beginning of season 8.

That counts as an "attack" now days? Really?

The mods can be really severe and like to remove anything that criticizes Rito.

I mean Boards moderation deleted a comment that was quoting a Rhaast line, mods are kinda agressive here at, ironically, trying to stop and prevent any agression between the members of the Boards.

So to note, your post was brought up in Gameplay+, which has an approval process and a higher standard than the Gameplay subboard does.

That does come off as somewhat rude. Enough to detract from the point your making in the rest of your post? Eh, possibly.

That being said, I don't approve many of the posts there, but I'll try to get in touch with the moderator that did not approve your post.

They could be at work, though. If they've got feedback regarding the rest of your G+ submission, would you rather I leave it here or do you want to discuss that with them on the discord?

Nothing in that post was an "Attack". I'm very sad that someone viewed it at such.

Long story show Gameplay+ is only for kiss asses that 100% support every mistake Riot makes.

It's also the only board Riot reads now.

Thus the shit state of the game.

considering almost every post is "removed" from gameplay+ , dunno what to say

I made a post suggesting a change to how the pick and ban phase works so that it would not be an advantage or disadvantage to the players who pick first

it got removed for "not adhering to the guidelines of creating a post for gameplay+"

So, by way of review, here's the entirely of your submission that isn't just a data dump:

As we all know Riot is planning to nerf power farming junglers because ganking junglers are too dominant. (Cause why not?) The absurdity of this logic can be saved for other posts,but right now in this first portion of this post I'm here to talk about just how much, number-wise, power-farming junglers will be nerfed in the beginning of season 9 compared to the beginning of season 8. TLDR; A full clear (6 camps + scuttle) in mid-game during the beginning of season 9 is about equivalent to 3.5 camps + scuttle in mid-game during the beginning of season 8.

Ending Note: Dear Riot, The current complaint about junglers is that they gank too much. By nerfing power farming junglers so heavily you will have even more ganking junglers picked which will make the complaints even worse.

As analysis goes, there isn't much there and the thesis is suspect. Anything that makes sitting in the jungle less efficient is obviously going to result in more ganks. We get that.

Let's parse down your primary statement:

As we all know

You should avoid statements like this, as you're assuming facts not in evidence.

Riot is planning to nerf power farming junglers

Your numbers don't support this. A global nerf to jungle EXP affects all junglers, not just the ones with fast clear times. In fact, junglers with fast clear times would seem to be less affected by lowered EXP, as they could clear, then have more time in lane. You should have analyzed the relationship between EXP and clear speed.

because ganking junglers are too dominant.

Speed of clear and quality/nature of gank are the two qualities I tend to look at when I'm considering junglers. Changes to jungle EXP don't change anything about those characteristics other than the level of the jungler during their gank windows. A proper analysis would have looked at which junglers have to change their play style to accommodate the new values.

(Cause why not?)

Why is this even in here? It's distracting and seems to serve no purpose other than to express your frustration with a class of junglers, which makes me have to waste time considering the inherent bias that might be lurking behind the post.

The absurdity of this logic can be saved for other posts

Unhelpful. If it's worth mentioning, it's worth explaining.

The current complaint about junglers is that they gank too much.

Isn't the inverse of that statement that junglers aren't spending enough time clearing? What benefits are there to making it more efficient to stay in the jungle? Have we forgotten prior seasons where junglers did nothing but farm for 20 minutes, then appeared to absolutely wreck team fights?

I didn't review your submission, but I would have also rejected it. Hope that helps.

Is that really the only thing in the post that could constitute an "attack"? Without seeing the post, I can't honestly assert much beyond what you already know: the excerpt you quoted doesn't contain an attack. I also can't identify any other rule violations in it.

(And presumably, you can't/shouldn't quote your OP in full, since the same moderator could then punish you twice for the same post...)

weird, have you tried contacting riot?

Did the removal notice say it was because of an attack? Cause that doesn't appear to be really attacking Riot.
