bumping this for vis. My guess is its a bot that looks for combos of words. Bots aren't perfect, and at least to my untrained eye the post isn't in the wrong (mods correct me?). Sorry this happened friend, bots aren't perfect :S.
Hey there, guys and gals.
Wanted to pop in and give an update on this situation. I have looked into it, and, while the thread in question did have a comment chain that violated board rules and a title that was a bit too politically charged for the boards environment, I think there's a middle ground that can solve these issues and allow for the thread's restoration.
I will be reversing the deletion, but I will be removing the problematic comment chain and also editing the title of the post, which does mock a fairly controversial socio-political topic and, as such, is not really something we want around. Normally we do not do this sort of content edit, so this is an exception to our usual policy in this particular instance -- future instances will likely end up removed, with the OP encouraged to repost the thread without the offending title. I'll make sure the team knows to include this clarifying line in future removals as well, as I notice it was not included here.
I'd be interested in hearing the community's input on this policy as well -- we're open to discuss changing this rule if the community would rather moderation do content edits on threads that have rule-breaking elements but have been left up long enough to get actual discussion going.
Edit: The post has been restored. You can find it here. OP, please let me know if you'd like me to change the new title to a different one of your choosing.
Some of the mods aren't too bright I mean look at this
It was removed due to the comments section getting out of hand.....and also the title provoking said comments.
Normally, we would just lock up the comments of a thread going political, but in this instance, since the title of the thread was essentially asking for a political discussion to happen, and that one had already gotten out of hand, the mod that removed the post, along with advice from other mods as well, decided to just outright remove it.
Feel free to repost it if you want, just please use a different title. If a discussion carries over from that thread, we will remove the comments as necessary.

Hello Bazerka!
I had discussed with the other mods about this before taking action. It was deemed that this post was political(which is as mentioned by electro against universal rules) and the title was bait. I hope I explained myself. Pleased to meet you. [sg-soraka]

Guess the mods can't handle a thread anymore, so they remove it instead of moderating it properly?
My post got removed for naming and shaming, even though the only name that wasn't censored was mine :D.
The mods must be my old literature teacher from high school. All this "he said this but could potentially mean this" non-sense belong in the lectures.
Bro your title was clearly stated in the most political way possible, and you should definitely have taken care of your own comment section to avoid others saying bad stuff smh
/s
Love how all the ((mods)) have gone quiet and can't even provide a reasonable argument as to why they deleted your thread.
tbh I have no problem with shitposts like this being removed.
If the mods would delete every post like this maybe Riot would actually take their own gameplay boards seriously again. Because we sure as hell don't need the 1000 post complaining about Assassins and duskblade being broken while making literally 0 suggestions.
