Posts from Memes and Games should not show up on the front page

It can be an entertaining section of the Boards, but it seems to reach spam-like level on the front page

People usually visit the official Boards to talk about the game itself, often because there's something they want Riot to see. Memes and Games blocks half the front-page with posts not relevant to the game. I'd compare M&G to General Discussion (which doesn't show up on the front page) before I'd compare it to any of the other sections. I think the Boards team may feel this way as well, as Memes and Games is right beside General Discussion on the section list, under all the other sections.

It doesn't really help that so many posts that get to the top of M&G are low effort, consisting of a title describing a gameplay scenario with some gif in the body. In comparison, posts that get to the top of other boards often spark discussion and tend to be of higher effort and quality.

Memes and Games is a great place to get a few laughs, but it really shouldn't be filling up half the front page.

They should have some sort of filter for what boards you want to see on the front page.

So are "Nerf X!" threads that often hit the front page. :3

But in all seriousness, some kind of filter would be preferable rather than discriminating against one board specifically because you don't like it or get annoyed by it. Which is more than one thread, mind you, for different people. There's no objectivity here, just subjective opinions about these boards.
