This is a legitimate question and I would like an answer.
Edit: So according to Deep Terror Nami, the answer to "For what reason is it this way" is "Because they must", but why must they? well "because they must", but why must they? "because they must".
I had never run into "But thou must" in real life until today...
Deep Terror Nami6 votesBecause they are paid to enforce the Universal Rules. If they don't do that then they aren't doing their job. If you aren't in direct violation of one of those rules, then it's not that strict (especially in GD). Maybe you just need to review the rules again?

Because they are paid to enforce the [Universal Rules]
That was not the question.
Or I suppose I could have been more clear; The moderators are utilizing their power in an **extremely **draconian manner. The question is what is the reason behind them choosing to utilize said power in such a manner.
The question is not complicated... you understood but chose to deflect/distract, for what reason I am really not certain.
Deep Terror Nami4 votesNo, I answered you. They do so because they have to. Sounds like you're just averse to anyone giving you an answer you don't want :3

No, I answered you.
No you did not. The question was very clear and your response was unrelated.
They do so because they have to.
Ok, but that's not an answer; that's literally raising another question to deflect the original question. I.e. "Why does X do Y that way?" "Because X must" "Why must he?" "Because he must" "Well thanks that helps a lot /s"
Sounds like you're just averse to anyone giving you an answer you don't want
Uh no, you deflected/distracted from the question and are STILL doing it.
My question is, AND THIS IS VERY CLEAR; What reason is there behind moderation being incredibly draconian? sure let's say "Because they must" as you responded. Now, explain yourself.
DoctorWolf181 votesI have to agree with you
Deep Terror Nami4 votesYa, you don't get it at all lol. Riot lays down the standards, and the moderators are bound by contractual agreement to uphold them. The moderators do not make the rules and are not Riot. They literally do it only because Riot says to. Maybe you are trying to ask "Why does Riot have draconian moderation laws", but that isn't what you are asking.

moderators are bound by contractual agreement
At this point I am not sure if you are trolling... the question is very clear; I am not asking why the moderators moderate, that's NOT the question. The moderators moderate because that's their job (Obv.), but again you are deflecting rather than answering the question.
The question (For the fourth time) is; What is the reason for moderation on forums to be so draconian?
The moderators do not make the rules and are not Riot.
That's still not an answer to the question, that's not even remotely close to what I asked. So I now have to ask, did you even bother reading the original post or... well the title of this thread?
Deep Terror Nami4 votesWhat is the reason for moderation on forums to be so draconian?
Because that is how they are directed by Riot :3 Don't accuse me of trolling just because you don't like the answer :3

God, I'll miss you, Deep Terror Nami.
This is like watching someone ram themselves face first into a pole, backing up, then doing it again, not truly understanding why the pole won't move.

Or you don't get it. Or you are digging for another answer. Posts are removed quickly to make sure people understand that certain things are not allowed.

A deflection is not a suitable answer no matter how hard you try to pass it off as one.

Either you didn't read the entire post, or you are willfully ignoring answers because they aren't what you like.
Here is the answer you want: Because they are weak minded left wing feminists who hate people disagreeing with them.
Now go sit in your corner.
Dominick Destine1 votesyou didn't read the entire post
And you made that assumption based on...? looks like nothing.
Bad argument.
Because they are weak minded left wing feminists
I'm not sure that we have conclusive evidence to make that assertion about the moderators of these boards despite their use of ultra draconian tactics which resemble leftists/feminists... but sure, you can believe in the unproven... I however refuse to believe in something that has no conclusive evidence to support it. There is a reason I asked this question, I would like to know the reason behind the draconian moderators.
And by the way, by definition all feminists are leftists but not all leftists are feminists. "Left wing feminists" is somewhat nonsensical.... similar to saying "Leftist Stalinist", etc.

ROFL, still posting not even smart enough to be an arbiter HAHHAAHA
BlueThingamajig3 votesOoh, draconian, that's something to add to the bingo cards, right next to fascist, crybaby, and first amendment rights
To answer the question, the moderators are _ strict _ because Riot tells them to be strict. Why does Riot tell moderators to be strict? Probably because they don't want their official forums to be YouTube comments or twitch chats. That's my hypothesis
Dominick Destine1 votesdraconian
That's correct.
Dereq1 votesI got one of my posts modified three times by a moderator. I felt really offended by that. A moderator just cant delete the sentences he wants. I prefer my posts deleted entirely than MY OWN WORDS modified. I just named a list of users autobots.
Cyst2 votesmaybe they were just trying to help you so what you type was readable by human beings?
Dereq1 votesI think u are trying to say ive made some grammar mistakes, im open to any kind of corrections.
PD: moderators told me "this wasnt the right place to bring visibilty on faulty players" and that was why they deleted particular sentences on my paragraph.
Caítlyn1 votesIve made posts making fun of Riot and they delete them immediately and ask me to move it to some irrelevant forum.
Faymous1 votesI had my forum account suspended 2 days ago because I made a comment 'About time' in relation to Deep terror nami being demodded and thrown out.
TWO WORDS...'About time'...and I got a ONE MONTH ban from the forums on that account.
FurriesAreHot1 votesThey weren't a mod in the first place. That is also an incredibly rude remark about someone losing a "position" publicly.
DarkRitual1 votesSimple: because they have literal 0 focus on changing how the boards are handled. Nothing is strictly broken, so nothing to be fixed.
I would postulate that anyone who HAS experience with managing things like forums is not in a position that gives them any say on the matter. This leaves us with people who are in charge of them that just allow the status quo to continue. There are many improvements that could be made, but the people overseeing the boards either don't care to improve it, or (much more likely), don't have the resources or power to actually make change.
Vistha Kai1 votesOfftopic, but you asked me yesterday what anime was the gif from.
For some reason the thread was deleted, because fuck that's why, apparently.
In any case, the anime seems to be named "Denki-gai no Honya-san". Beats me, thought, I've not actually watched it.
Dominick Destine1 votesThanks.
Kei1431 votesya, mods must be strict, cos Riot dictates it. Keep in mind the mods aren't Riot, they just follow rules by Riot.
If your question is "Why does Riot need such strict rules?" It because they are lefty feminists.
