Is Riot incapable of moving threads?

Any other board I have ever been on, especially one where people are commonly confused about what goes where, pop into your post and say "This thread was in the wrong section so we moved it to x". Riot is like "lolnope your 135 upvote thread is le gone, have fun remaking it and recapturing the public eye in the correct section awkwardly!"

Seems like such a minor thing. If we can be sent an automated message telling us where it should be, just move it there automatically or give us three buttons in the message "Move Thread" "Delete Thread" "Dispute" (For those times they tell you to move a joke out of memes and games and into gameplay)

Hey Mira Arya Enthe,

Unfortunately, the ability for us to move threads is non-existent, it's not because we don't want to, but literally because we have no working function to allow us to move threads. So in a bit of ironic and literal sense, yes we mods are incapable of moving threads, which is why we send you a message that is NOT a warning or any sort of punishment, and ask you kindly to post it in the appropriate section as well as link you to your thread so that you are aware of which one exactly it was, so that you may also copy-paste any or all of its contents and not have to try to remember what was written.

If I remember correctly the boards were coded from the ground up for riot so it's not the general "preexisting, confirmed working, package code" that most forums use to set up their community, like XenForo or such. We have to make due with what's available to us.

"Something something boards are still in beta so we don't have that feature."

Please leave the boards with your logical and well said arguement. There no place for that nonsense here

Pretty sure this goes in boards feedback. Better delete it so you can remake it there. /s
