Can you moderators make a rule about censorship?

I can't make a valid complaint anymore without a bunch of moderators spamming down vote or taking down my threads. This is the place where you want people to ask for game play changes and yet it is highly restricted on what people can actually post. Oh wait that was the idea right??? Ahhh so that's why you can't take emails, because you want it in a place where you can manipulate people's minds!!!

I promise you we have neither the time nor the desire to spam downvotes on Gameplay threads.

If you want to ask for gameplay changes and if you want to prompt actual discussion, I would recommend changing the way you approach the conversation. When you call the balance team "monkeys", discuss only strengths out of context, use all caps, call everything bullshit, and throw shade at the designers, it's clear your post aligns more closely with RANT than with Gameplay.

If you want to discuss Moderator actions (such as thread/comment removals), you'll want to create a thread in Discuss the Boards, which is a subforum dedicated to Moderator action as well as guidance in using the Boards.

Player Behavior is more intended for discussing the player behavior systems (IFS, LeaverBuster, Honor) and individual player behavior.

As an aside;

...without a bunch of moderators spamming down vote...

To my knowledge, most of the Moderators tend to err on withholding downvotes out of respect to discussion. I haven't seen any outstanding cases to the contrary, so I'd reckon if you're getting downvoted a lot, it's by other players who just disagree with you for one reason or another, not Moderators.

This is the place where you want people to ask for game play changes and yet it is highly restricted on what people can actually post.

If you're talking about the Gameplay subforum, the biggest restrictions there to my knowledge are that you have to remain respectful and you have to actually present a discussable argument; you can't just call for "nerf x" or the like.

There are of course more general guidelines to follow, but, as someone who never really looks at Gameplay, those are the two biggest rules I know apply.

Didn't you know that complaining about downvotes on the internet will get you more downvotes?

Infact, take a free downvote from me for no reason.
