With these new Forums are threads going to be deleted for no reason just like the current GD forums?

A thread was recently deleted that was relevant to the game, asking a legitimate question of Riot, and had tons of support from the players. It was not a troll thread. It was not a spam thread. It was not an off topic thread. But it was deleted with no reason as to why. Can you set strict guidelines as to what can and will be deleted rather than deleting threads you aren't willing to deal with? It is pretty pathetic in my opinion. The thread was deleted because Riot did not want to give a response. There is no other explanation.

Hey AlphaKiloGaming,

In case you hadn't seen it, this is a direct answer to your question from Krylhos in the official "Change Log" thread.

####Moderation

We heard loud and clear that accurate and fast moderation is really, really important to a ton of you. Equally important is knowing why an action has been taken, and knowing that your reports are reaching real people. We’ve added a number of tools to our moderation toolkit, and poros.

-Not Pwyff (note: there are no poros)

We’ve focused a majority of our time lately rebuilding our moderation team and approach. Our biggest addition to this version of the boards is Moderation Action Notifications. Now, whenever a moderation action is taken within the Boards you’ll be notified in your boards profile.

****> * Moderation Action Notifications

  • You will receive Notifications for the following actions:
  • When discussions or comments are deleted
  • When you are suspended from the boards
  • Report button added on all comments and discussions
  • All reports go into a queue monitored by our moderation team 24/7

This would also mean that the message on WHY a thread or post was deleted is only sent to the user who posted the content, not everyone on the Boards.

Correct. Anytime we moderate something, we always send a message to the poster. We're also only moderating content if it violates the Universal Rules. Get familiar with those, and spend some time checking out the Guidelines for each board before posting.

In the meantime, They seem to let GD run wild every night. There is a twitch thread that is almost as old as your comment Tamat with uh... you should go see :)

Seeing as pendragon just deleted the 400+ upvote thread that slammed the boards as being a copy of reddit that nobody wants, and that this will stifle minority opinions, I'd say yes.
