We NEED better Gameplay boards moderation

Malicious Metal·Aug 16, 2017·8 votes·468 views

The frontpage is always littered with mindless complaining, circlejerking and discussions that boil down to "Gut X champion"

There's a reason the rest of the boards and reddit make fun of the Gameplay board.

You're venturing into "Only X rank and above should be able to post" territory. Even if a player doesn't know what they are talking about (even the highest elo players will disagree on many things), they still have a right to their opinion and to post here.

I see a lot of vote padding in the attempt of small groups of players to decide what gets on the Hot page, but that is not an ethical way to go about promoting good discussions; I recommend those players instead focus on bringing good comments to bad discussions to make them worth being on the front page.

How is this in any way related to Rank restrictions?

A silver player can contribute to a discussion just as well as a Diamond player. It's just sickening to see the same old, rehashed stuff on this board, usually stuff that should be put into memes and games.

A better way to fix the issue is to make a new board for Champion Discussion that isn't displayed on the front page. Aside from changing boards coding anyhow to make certain boards less weighted to showing up there.

I'd rather they just allow users to specify which boards they want displayed on the front page in their settings.

People could just customize it as they please.

Agreed, would be ideal. However almost certainly won't happen outside of B.E.K. doing it.

Honestly, I'm not sure why it hasn't already been implemented.

While I'm not sure what underlying framework or CMS the boards use, it can't be that difficult to do.

Riot would have to pull coders from other projects, and doesn't care enough to hire out.

The boards are FUNCTIONAL so any work on them is very low priority compared to event sites, client work, etc.

Tundra Fizz works on B.E.K. (formerly F.E.K.) which brings a lot of good stuff, but is still severly limited due to the boards lack of basic standard functionality.

escuse me sir

are you reading an other thread at the same time perhaps?

The problem is that these don't break any rules of the boards. It has nothing to do with moderation.

You can't just say, "we need better moderation" and say it's because of threads that don't break any rules.

So what does this have to do with the mods in specific? If someone makes a shot post and it reaches front page what can they do? It's their opinion

I mean I get Fizz E being unfun but it's literally what his kit revolves around and it's so easy to punish him if used incorrectly.

So you want to ban any threads that "complain", ever?

"yasuo so op has infinite dash and 1shot me nerf wtf"

"I think Yasuo's wall is unfair for ranged players while not being useful for Yasuo vs melee players. I think it should be nerfed somehow."

Both of these are "complaining". That doesnt seem like a good idea to ban "complaining".

why is there suddenly so much shilling for mods

piss off these wardens are obnoxious enough

I'd prefer if GD disappeared from the front page again. "I'm too lazy to post in the appropriate section of the boards, so I'm just gonna post it in GD."

GD should be misc. or nothing at all.

MizayaAug 16, 20171 votes

And I'll say it again, if people are coming here with the intention of complaining and hearing their complaints echoed, what's stopping them? Certainly it lowers the quality of discussion, but what are you going to do when that's the majority of people on here?

Lol. This is exactly what this post is. People complain then people like you make threads to complain about the people complaining. You are some special snowflake aren't you
