This mod situation is getting out of hand

I get a thread of mine deleted simply because I had BotRK in the title, and presumably the OP.

YOUR CONTENT HAS BEEN REMOVED ABOUT AN HOUR AGO FROM: RIOT GAMES Thanks for reporting the BotRK exploit! We're aware of the issue and have been actively working to patch it so that it can no longer be used. We've deleted redundant discussions, including this one, but if you'd like to talk more about it, please do so in this discussion. Thanks in advance!

My thread had nothing to do about a bug, and was simply about Gnar and his damage capabilities.

Yeah, that was a big mistake. Mods are dealing with a ton of posts about the BotRK exploit, but that doesn't mean they should be moving so fast that they don't even read the content. We're going to be coaching the moderator who took the action, and will be undeleting the discussion in question.

Sorry about that! Mistakes happen, but when they do, we'll do our best to fix them.

I'd be interested to see what happened here, if this is true it's a bit if a problem.

To be honest the mods are acting somewhat like little children towards the Botrk exploit, all the playerbase is doing is confirming that the exploit exists. NOT HOW TO ACTUALLY PREFORM THE EXPLOIT, so I really don't think that they need to delete soo many posts about it like they were children trying to keep a secret from their parents. If anything what they should do is make a post and sticky it saying that: yes they know about the exploit and that it is being worked on. This would allow them to narrow the comments into one post and get player updates as to whether it still exists after they patch it.

See, this is the kind of response that Riot should be making when they make a mistake, very forthcoming and mature. Unfortunately, if the title had been "This bug situation is getting out of hand" and pointed out a bunch of video evidence and bug reports that don't get addressed for years, know what would have happened? Nothing. What is Riot's deal with bugs?
