Lack of boards report options.

Non-Rioters, don't bother reading this paragraph. Ok, first of all, can I just say it is really sad that I feel I have to justify what boards I am posting on to Rioters every time I post? Seriously people, get your shit together. Telling me my jokes don't belong in memes and games and whatnot. Anyways this post should be in Boards Feedback as I am suggesting an improvement to the boards. Good? Good.

##Actual Post I was wondering if we could add a "Report for breaking the summoner's Code" or "Report for abusing rules" to the report option when reporting comments/discussions. Currently we have report as "Offensive, Spam, Harassment, Incorrect Board." but we have no way to report people that are doing things that are against the summoner's code if they don't also fall under one of those categories. Boards moderation is so uptight and there is no place to explain myself that I am genuinely unwilling to use the other options to report bad behaviour because I am worried that my account will get flagged.

While there are a number of things I would like to change about the boards, especially how they are moderated, for now I would like to see if we can just add that simple report option, which is from my experience the most common reason to find a comment/post report worthy, but as of now there is 0 way to report it without drawing negative attention to your account for improper use of the reporting system.

I remember a few months ago, before Remakes were input, I put up a gameplay system designed to deal with AFKs in-game that had nothing to do with punishing AFK players, but with helping the team that had the AFK have a more level playing field. I can't remember if I posted it in Gameplay or Concepts and Creations, but it got taken down for being in the wrong board, saying that the right board would've been "Player Behavior and Moderation," even though the post had NOTHING to do with that, because the title was "Let's talk about AFKs." I even explained in the first paragraph that, no, this isn't some bronze noob who has no idea how to deal with an AFK on their team making a post complaining about someone who went AFK, but a bronze noob who doesn't like playing games that turn into shitfest stomps because of AFK players and wanted to propose a gameplay mechanic for when someone leaves and has been AFK for at least 10 minutes, which will then have it instantly sell all of their items and split all of their gold between their teammates. It then proceeds to split any gold they receive between their teammates. If the person comes back at that point, they will have no gold and no items. Apparently who/whatever does the removing for wrong board and suggests new boards for it to be placed in only reads the title. A while later, I reposted it in the same board with a different title that SPECIFIED that it was a suggestion for a gameplay mechanic and it never got taken down.
