[MODERATION] So where should I post Client bugs if not the bug report section?

MXXIV·Feb 19, 2015·6 votes·1,023 views

I've been repetitively complaining about local non-transparent, unfriendly and cancerous moderation. But because I always read the board guidelines, I didn't get anything deleted - until now.

I posted about a bug in client that causes it to throw "The server is currently busy" error even when everything is fine, preventing you from login. This happens even when other computers on the network can connect without any problems.

This is an issue that not only me, but also many other players have been complaining about for at least 2 years - and happens even now, not only to me:

Also on the forum archive:

Therefore I'd like to hear explanation or apology. If you have no sufficient explanation, please restore the thread. For the moderator that has deleted my thread, I have this to read:

This is the place to report bugs that you find within League of Legends. Something that occurs within the Client, patching related issues, or anything that involves gameplay (stuns not working, unintended interactions between abilities, vision issues, etc.) should be posted here! Please do NOT post about disconnects or lag*. Instead redirect those problems to Help & Support.

* My issue was not disconnect. The network was working fine. If something was broken, it was within the PVP.net Client.

The same thing happened to me, and the thread we deleted, along with eighty or so comments, with absolutely no explanation. Deleting threads is fundamentally wrong, but especially so when posting guidelines are left so vague that reasonable people are frequently mistaken, even if they take the time to read the posting guidelines.

Please stop deleting threads, and give some sort of an appeal system when posts are deleted by moderators without cause.

[sarcasm] We can't have an appeal system, that would require transparent moderation. No one in the community wants that, obviously, and it's bad for communication. Because reasons. [/sarcasm]

I still have no idea why deletion has to happen rather than locking. There is literally no possible reason I can see for needing to completely erase content rather than just removing it from the public listings.

The more they piss on our heads, the stronger is my temptation (as a programmer) to abuse some of this forum bugs. Maybe they would see what is it like when somebody tries to destroy what you have created for no reason.

Might want to be careful with saying stuff like that. If they decide that constitutes a hacking threat, you could find yourself banned outright and possibly brought up on charges.

Stealing personal information or some other illegal sick stuff isn't really what I had in mind. But I'm really pissed, I liked these boards first and now I'm deeply dissappointed from their both technical and personal realization.
