Congrats to Riot

First off I wanted to say congrats on launching this beta message board which I hope helps alleviate some of the frustrating aspects of the old forums. I wanted to share an idea which I think may be helpful or may not be, you can decide.

At the moment it is kinda like a free-for-all everyone is scrambling to have their ideas heard by riot and discussed amongst the Riot Community. What if there was a hierarchical Question and Answer Thread that is Read Only for the majority of players. The only people who would be allowed to post would be Rioters and people who were invited to make a one time post due to their thread or post having x number of up-votes (each player only gets x up-votes allotted to them each week). Riot could invite the top up-voted threads or posts to the Question and Answer thread where the OP could summarize their points and the points of the community to Riot. Riot would then not have to sift through the thousands of discussions and would save them time. Players would have one central location to find their most pressing questions answered.

What are your thoughts on this in terms of pros and cons?

-Please see below for Krylhos comment and my response which I try to clarify this suggestion a bit more.

Could need a controvesial sort as well imo... posts that imply a lot of votes should be taken into account.

Thank you for the congrats!

We're definitely open to trying out different forms of discussions. A goal of this system is to help raise quality content, which includes pressing issues. Although, I'm not sure if limiting players from talking or engaging would help, in the end.

We're aiming to encourage higher quality discussions within this new system, so and those back and forth's carry a lot of value.

Hmm I like the idea but don't agree with the upvote method. I rarely used the old forums because I didn't like the design but I definitely have good ideas for how to improve the board.

I think it should just be a heavily moderated post with silly comments that don't bring in valuable discussion being deleted. And also have a "slowmode" on where people can only post once in it per 30mins-1hr.
