Mods are power-hungry

s4AaMScPuo··2 votes·1,235 views

I would like to propose that Riot directly review their moderation staff at some point in the near future, especially the ones that control the GD board. They are painfully obviously biased and delete posts that fall within the rules simply because they don't hold the same opinion on a subject as the person whose post they delete, while simultaneously ignoring posts made by others on the same page (or even directly adjacent) that are openly insulting people. This is most common in threads with hyper-liberal posters, with the liberals who are openly and directly insulting people being completely ignored while anyone who is against them (without using insults) have their posts deleted.

This is a violation of the very foundation of rules that are in place for forum moderation. Either these mods need to be monitored more closely to prevent them from abusing their power, or the moderation system needs an option to appeal an unfair moderation. Please consider this idea, as the mods are taking increasing liberty in deleting posts that they do not agree with, even when they are well within the rules.

Oh no, you aren't allowed to be freely racist anymore, what a shame.

Except that the moderation that spurred me to make this post had nothing even remotely racist or offensive in it at all.

How about you stop assuming you know what's going on and actually ask, like a civilized person?

If you wanted to have a conversation about real events, why not put that information in the original post itself?

Too many people actually ARE the way that Jamaree assumes you are, and they try to hide it by saying that the mods are deleting their posts because they disagree, etc.

This means it's really hard to just take your word about a general case, which makes it impossible to have a discussion without knowing the specifics of the situation you're describing. If you'd put those specifics in your original post, I might have upvoted it, but when it's something that could easily be "racist kid is upset that mods are doing their job," I'm generally not going to waste my time doing anything other than downvoting.

If you edit your original post I'll change my vote, but tbh you might have more success deleting this thread and starting another one that includes the details.

This is what I thought at first; that is people were intentionally breaking the rules on and then complaining about the mods. However, after what has happened to me I know exactly what the original poster is feeling. The fact of the matter is, is that mods are punishing some people when they don't deserve it.

I made a thread regarding the topic, and got a Rioter response apologizing and stating that I was correct and not in the wrong for what I have done.

Down-voting without explaining your reasoning is childish. If you disagree, reply with your reasoning, or your down-vote is irrelevant.
