Why are the boards such shit?

Title. I'm on here all the time. Posts downvoted for no reason. People hardly have calm rational decisions. And everyone complains about solo queue.

The question you're asking is "why is the internet such shit".

That is the greatest* question of our day.

Good point.

I have no idea. THe downvotes are rampant, and sometimes I've seen the most toxic thing upvoted like crazy. If I let it get to me, I'd be depressed at the state of humanity, or at least the internet, but I work not to. And sometimes the boards are amazing, so I focus on that.

I try to focus on those slim beacons of hope but they just get crushed by all the crap. I love league. We all like it enough to come to the boards. People need to have some damn respect.

Or thicker skin?

Which part confuses you, sir? I will try to clarify.

It seems a strange connection to me: Respect --> Thicker Skin.

Ok. I was saying that when you start crying about getting downvoted, then you are not talking about respect anymore. You are talking about "my feelings are hurt for no reason whatsoever and I'm getting upset about something that is so minuscule that is just sounds dumb." Basically saying it's not "disrespectful" to downvote something, it's just OP being completely overly sensitive.

OP's post can basically be summarized as "omg you downvoted me, you are so damn disrespectful! You MUST agree with me and upvote my post."

What's wrong with respecting other humans?

PDE5 InhibApr 1, 20161 votes

Nothing is wrong with "respecting other humans" (lol, who says this?). But, when you start complaining about number of upvotes/downvotes, it becomes not about "respecting other humans" as much as it does "my feelings are hurt for no reason whatsoever and I'm getting upset about something that is so minuscule that is just sounds dumb."

Asks why the boards are shit, yet includes "Title." in the main body of the post.

Classy.

Simple MoonApr 1, 20162 votes

Not sure how it's not classy? Go back to the "where's urf posts" and cause mayhem there.

Here, take this -1.

Thank you.

Welcome! I typically always downvote people that either complain about downvotes or ask for upvotes. It honestly makes you look like a 15 year old girl on instagram fishing for likes.

Simple MoonApr 1, 20161 votes

People downvote other people for no reason. Good ideas, concepts, meaningful discussions. I don't personally care. Hence why I thanked you. I'm saying its rampant on the boards.

PDE5 InhibApr 1, 20162 votes

If you didn't personally care, then why did you take the time to make a post about getting downvoted?

Obviously the whole 'not caring' part wasn't true. I know I care. (That's why I clicked on this post.) I personally want the boards to be a friendlier, less toxic place.

PDE5 InhibApr 1, 20161 votes

Wait, are you two the same person just on different accounts? Why else would you comment on this when I replied to him?

Are you talking about this? No, my alternative account is aodhfyn. I was just answering for myself because I wanted to. (Rereading it I realized it wasn't obvious why I replied. Sorry for the confusion: I simply wanted to emphasize that I care, and that the post has a good reason for existing. Regardless of why he posted it.)

If the boards are shit, then you posting on the boards makes you shit, and that means everyone on here, is shit...?

Simple MoonApr 1, 20161 votes

Correct.

Note that you just committed a logical fallacy. (Whole to Part.) But I can see the non-fallacious root of your statement: ironically calls the boards s--t inside a board post. Which technically associates this post with the comment as well.

because if you are happy with what you get, and you don't complain, you don't come on the boards. thus all threads are whiny people complaining about everything

That's obviously not true. I come to the boards for fun.
