I despise the "delete posts" board moderation found here

I just made a post regarding an issue found on the website. I posted it in board feedback. Inside the post, I even commented how I was nervous posting because I was sure some moderator would find fault in the board chosen and delete my post.

Let me quote the guidelines for the "Report A Bug" board they said I should have posted it into:

This is the place to report bugs that you find within League of Legends. Something that occurs within the Client, patching related issues, or anything that involves gameplay (stuns not working, unintended interactions between abilities, vision issues, etc.) should be posted here! Please do NOT post about disconnects or lag. Instead redirect those problems to Help & Support.

You might notice that my post had not one fucking thing to do with anything allowed by the culture of the board. I actually went through and read the culture for every possible board to use, and I decided that the closest one would be Boards Feedback since it is literally the only board that allows you to post to issues regarding the website since, well, the boards are hosted on the website. My other option was to file a goddamned support ticket.

Anyhow, I give up. My post's only purpose was to help Riot with a website issue. The moderators took something that was intended to help, and was helpful, and removed it because I should have psychically known that website feedback should go with forum for reporting in-client bugs, when there is no mention of reporting any outside-client issues on the bug report forum.

In closing, it makes exactly 0 sense for posts like this to be deleted instead left where they are or moved by the moderators. You can't tell me that a drop down to move a post to another forum would be more difficult for the moderators than deleting it. The policy is designed from the ground-up to be punishing to people for posting content from even a slightly different perspective than that viewed by a moderator. Fuck it. I'm done.

Riot, I get the picture. I will no longer submit feedback on your game. Happy Holidays, I won't bother you any longer.

OP I hope you will find this helpful..

Quote from Lyte: 7 months. ago as you put up

Then I found this one From Keyru that was 20 days ago:

This is my #1 priority right now as it's an extra work step for moderators and honestly just causing terrible experiences for players who make a discussion.

Then the one from the Curator...I'm trying to be helpful and not going to argue the point with you. This is what I took from the whole thing,

Lyte explained why the system was not being used, people complained Keyru started up the system and Curator then found a problem when trying to use it. But, that is just how I am reading it. Hope that now you know they are aware and working on it that it may help you feel less aggravated :) GL

BTW ^^^ this above statement is my own personal opinion as I found more info, I may be wrong and often am ;)

Last I heard the move a thread option is not working. Mods can't just move your thread.

That is by design, not a bug. Thus, it is a policy that should change.

No dear, it is the system not working correct :) Must I go did up a quote ? The system is broken and not letting mods move threads at this time.

Here is the quote:

TheCurator (NA) - 7 days ago We would love to be able to move things, but the Boards don't currently have the functionality to move discussions from one place to another. Please pay attention to the Guidelines on the left sidebar in each section when posting so your discussions don't get removed and redirected for now.

This is the real scoop. The thing you quoted from 7 days ago is not the truth. It is the current talking mouth. The actual reasons are detailed in this post from 9 months ago.

I Quoted something from 7 days ago !! Not 9 months ago.

Also are you aware that you don't reply nested?

Yes, I read your post and I don't like the view you take in more ways then one :) Yep I seen it a week ago :)

As, when I last posted there was 8 comments I don't see the relevance of pointing out your preference over mine... in posting chrono or disc. view....

I say to you one Last time, I don't agree and I believe I have proven my point to those reading...good night Sir !

Despise isn't a strong enough word, actually. I'm pretty sure I'd have to use the dark tongues of the Ancient Ones sleeping in the depths of the Earth to properly communicate the vitriol and utter loathing I feel towards this hostile moderation style. Do the moderators or board managers not realize what a complete slap in the face it is to a person to have such a friendly, soulless piece-of-shit deletion message waiting in your notifications after putting effort into a post? ESPECIALLY when there is not a clear-cut correct place to put that post?
