Can be discusions posted in a wrong category moved instead of deleted?

You know, it's pretty awkward to recreate a post where many people already commented or upvoted... I know you might have different opinion on the category the post belongs to, but if the poster posts it in another different category, won't you just remove it again and again, until the post ends up in the cotegory you recommended anyway?

This. It's a feature that Riot knows would be helpful but with everyone currently focused on the Client Alpha we may not see it any time soon.

Technically speaking no it cannot be moved. I dont think they have that sort of capabilities in their system. However, you can just copy and paste the text to your new post so its not a big deal eh?

For a poster? Not at all. The main thing is that it's just awkward when you like... have a conversation going on and in the middle of it it stops existing and what now? How can you even be sure you can find the other one you were speaking to?

What kind of archaic system are these boards running on that they don't have a move post feature? D: Holy hell.

If i remember correctly, they built and coded it from the ground up to be similar to reddit style threads, not using pre-built code like xenforo. Due to that they had to manually add all the features and during that time they either forgot or couldn't get down the thread moving part.

Well, that's IF I'm remembering this correctly.

Aside from the tech capabilities people have cited, I'd imagine it would lead to one board being a dumping ground with the assumption that it will be move and relegated to the correct spot.

I don't understand what you mean ._.

It would lead to everybody dumping everything in say, Boards Feedback, even if it wasn't even remotely related to boards feedback because people would assume mods would move the thread for them.

Erm, I don't actually believe this... They would themselves delay the feedback by putting it in a wrong category...
