Community recruiting section?

Thats Frosty·Feb 11, 2015·7 votes·1,362 views

This is now the 3rd time Riot has removed my communities post in "team recruitment" on the boards due to it "being in the wrong section" after browsing the section to find multiple other communities doing the exact same thing, I have two questions.

One, can you either please specify where a community recruitment post should go or create a section specifically made for league communities recruiting

Two, if what im doing is wrong, then why is every other community post not taken down as well?

What reason did the removal message from the mods give? Also, could you re-post the content that got deleted in this thread? It's hard to diagnose if I don't know what was posted.

I'm not sure why it was removed. Take my +1.

In the meantime, you could try putting it under esports and see if it's removed, there.

I would think it would make more sense if they just made an entire section to community recruiting. the fact I see threads in team recruitment for communities that have been there for over 4 months now and not removed really annoys me. Since it keeps getting taken down it hurts our numbers for the tournies because the boards are a big form of our advertising

What is community recruitment post?
When your post got deleted the first time, did you expect better results by posting it again?

I help run a league community, we do prized tournaments and stuff like that. It was a post advertising to come join our teamspeak to participate.
At first I thought it was because we had more than 1 post up. Now it just seems like they deem it to be the wrong section to post that in, even though there's numerous community recruitment posts already up here for the past 2 months

Bumping to get a proper answer to this

Im also going to add in the culture from the Team Recruitment section on the boards

Culture

Looking for a team? Have a team but looking for new members? Post here! Team Recruitment is a board for finding new people to play League of Legends with.

Now how is this not the proper section to post a message about getting new people to join our community?

Bumping until I can get an actual response on this matter

Still no response on this. Kind of disappointed
