[Feedback] It feels like a gimped forum

Morrivar·Sep 24, 2013·2 votes·659 views

While I understand that this isn't a supposed to be JUST a forum, it does NEED the tools that forums have for creating and editing threads.

The formatting tools are laughably few here. There's not even a strikethrough feature, or a way to color text.

Also the way the site reads our input is weird. It shouldn't reformat what we've typed. We typed it that way for a reason.

Lastly I can't figure out how to edit the name of a discussion. I'm pretty sure it's not possible but I could be wrong. Either way that needs to be addressed as well.

Please give us better editing and formatting tools Riot or this'll never win out over the classic forums.

I have to admit, this IS a legitimate complaint (even if the forums didn't have some of these features either.)

I would perhaps like to see these features at some point.

I don't know what features the LoL forums had as I never actually used them. I just know what I've seen on forums in general. Glad to see at least one of the two people who've viewed this does agree with me though.

This isn't a forum. It is a simple (key word there is simple) place to quickly say something and get a discussion rolling quickly. It isn't a fancy schmancy web board to make your posts look like an out-dated myspace profile. Just say what you want, and discuss it. That is all this is for.

Two things:

A) I didn't say it is or should be a forum. But if this just feels like a gimped version of something else, why would I pick this over the other?

B) Your supposed purpose for this site is exactly the purpose forums already serve. So again I ask, why would I choose this one over the other?
