Riot keeps removing my threads because "they're in the wrong subsection"

This happened to me multiple times in a row. If it is such a big deal, why not instead of deleting the post, why not just change the subsection then?

Because they literally can't. If you don't know what each board is for, the description for each is on the bottom left under "guidelines". If you're still unsure where your post goes, Miscellaneous is a good option.

The problem is Riot is being too picky. I made a post, it got removed. So I post it again with the recommended subsection, and then they remove that one.

Sometimes it's a judgement call whether it goes in one section or another, and a different mod looks at it the second+ time and makes a different call. It's just human error, and not really anything to do with Riot.

Another issue was that my deleted posts could be any multiple different subsections. When a Rioter probably saw mine, they had different opinion on which subsection it should be.

Posts about the Worlds Pick'em are best directed to Esports. The initial post was removed and sent to Fantasy LCS, but we were later instructed to direct them to Esports since it's specific to Worlds.

Feel free to recreate the post in Esports if you still need an answer.

As for moving posts, the ability for us to do that on the Boards is currently broken which is why we send messaging about where to re-post things. There is not currently an ETA on a fix for this functionality.

Thanks for the clarification :D. Just so that nobody has to get what I got, can whoever is deleting my threads be less picky about the subsection please?

No one was "banning" you, they were simply informing you of correct sections to post in. That's part of a moderator's job if a player doesn't post in the correct section based on the Guidelines on the left side of each section.

The original place you posted was in Help & Support which is only for technical issues with the game, from installation to connection issues. That is what the Wrenchman will address, otherwise your post will be ignored. Your posts are removed and the proper section is recommended so that you'll actually get it seen and answered.

Woops, that's what I meant. Fixed now.
