I'm noticing post's being deleted within a matter of minutes

I am no ICON, just another player...

I was recently commenting on a post made by a fellow player in the community and the post was deleted. The specifics of the post where how they felt that the community's suggestions and complaints are being thrown away or ignored. they also stated that they game wasn't as fun for them as it use to be and how the game is 'unbalanced' at the moment but that's not what I was focused on. I was focusing on the pieces that clarified how they felt about riots response to the community. Just as I was about to defend riot with a long comment about how it could just well be a rough road for the time being they deleted the post. 
 Now, there is so much wrong with this, and before I say why I am going to bring up a point to defend what I am about to bring up. I firstly want riot to know that I am saving this post by taking a screen-shot. That way if they do remove this post, they prove my point in every single aspect of this post.
 So these point I want to bring up are: Riot's claims about how they respond to the community and it's complaints/suggestions. They claim they are, and they'll distribute this with things like, bringing community "leaders" to a live discussion and later posting it on twitter, youtube, whatever. And just as an example, I will leave a few links in the comment box witch will also be screenshot-ed for future reference. 
 Now to state what is wrong with deleting a post about how someone feels about the game. Riot CLAIMS to want feedback by using all these forums for discussion, yet they still delete several posts with FEEDBACK! Now I want that to settle in for a moment... Now I'm know genius but I think riot wants to keep people on their toes so that people keep playing. Now that may confuse some people so let me explain.  By making claims to listen to a community, it leads the community to hope something is going to happen, to hope that something will change, and how I know that is by the countless examples of people I know stating to hope that something will change in a future update. but wait there's more than just friends who come to this sort of settlement. I look throughout the threads and I see not one, not two, but COUNTLESS people coming to the reasoning of: "I hope something happens, I hope something changes! Oh BOY." 
 The worst part about this is that I trusted Riot, I was DEFENDING them, I was going to tell the person accusing riot of these things, how they SAY/CLAIM to want to reach out to suggestions. 
 After playing the game for so long It's hard to say goodbye, and I feel like several people have that issue as well. if you ask me. I loved the game and have made several memories with it. I love getting competitive and making hose unforgettable plays with your friends and still do. But with my morals and what I just stated, I don't want to be around when Riot continues this sort of behavior to it's community.

 So with that off my chest I would like to be someone who helps others make a decision to continue with this or not. I myself will not play the game as often as I normally would. I love the game, I really do. But I refuse to understand why riot is doing this. I came to this conclusion before I started the post. I thought for a long time too., I was positive at first but with all of what I know up in my face. I couldn't deny what was happening. 
 (please note I don't want anyone flaming the hell out of riot, that's the opposite of what I am trying to do. what i am trying to do is alert people, not freak them all out and turn them into minions. So PLEASE be considerate and kind about this.   *[slayer-jinx-wink]*   )

So this is one of their ways of showing the community that they take things from us into consideration. please take a look. Gbay99 makes a lot of good points. Kinda relate-able to this very post.

Most often posts that are rapidly deleted are done so because they break the forum rules. The rules are very clear about what is and is not allowed, and it's sometimes very easy to cross that line on accident. I've seen a lot of posts show up and vanish within a matter of minutes, as I always sort the boards by newest, but I have yet to see one vanish that I'll end up missing. Every single one I've seen, even if it has legitimate concerns in it, is a trash post.

You didn't need to make a screenshot, you just had to think about why those other posts were deleted. You quite clearly drew the wrong conclusion.

I fully understand what you're saying, and it's a good point. But all of these forums I'm seeing aren't being deleted for violation of rules. at least I haven't seen a single one. Maybe I'm missing something. but I still don't agree with it.

I also don't have real evidence to convince anyone else. I kinda made the post for myself, almost like a rant, but I don't like to seam like a shoot down. I wanted it to make sense to other people and stuff. sorry if there seams to be rough spots, not my most well put together thing I've done.

As far as I've seen whether a post is feedback or not holds no standing on whether it's broken the board rules, so I really don't see why you wouldn't agree with it. If you're missing something that means Riot isn't actually deleting threads for no valid reason other than to shut some people up.

If you want to do some detective work try and screenshot threads you feel may be deleted before hand, because one of us is definitely incorrect on this matter. I don't blindly support Riot, so if you're seeing something I'm not I want to see it too.
