@ Riot: can you do something about this forum?

Anything that doesn't just blindly praise everything is going to be downvoted.

Even just simple kit suggestions get downvoted.

This forum is like Reddit, in which you can farm for upvotes simply by saying how good Riot is. And you get shut down immediately if you claim something may be wrong or could be improved - y'know, actual discussion instead of blind, droning praises.

But that's not how a company can do better.

This forum is only made of yes-men fanboys, and anyone who has something else to say is not allowed to say it.

I want a Riot dev to comment on this.

There are actually quite a lot of post that disagree with riot games that get upvoted to the top.

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/TlV7xMBg-can-we-maybe-not-remove-the-crit-reduction-from-omen people disagreeing with their game play often get alot of upvotes by riot games, however it does help when the post is at least not written like it is trying to insult everybody that reads it.
https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/4EXgbjFQ-why-are-players-not-instanty-suspened-for-telling-someone-to-kys people disagreeing with the current report system by saying it is way to mild on threats.
https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/FrILlWp7-14-day-ban-because-playing-nunu-support-with-smite-is-stealing-other-peoples-roles the most upvoted post of player behaviour and moderation is a post disagreeing with riot games policy of banning of meta picks(yes I know that more of this story has made it more complicated, but back then it was seen as riot fucking up)
https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/rJvsoEVT-so-i-like-complex-character-designs-sue-me one of your post seems to be doing ok.
https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/kqPmfw16-it-was-said-before-and-i-will-say-it-again-dont-remove-normal-draft some post even helped getting normal draft back for regions that lost it because the community decided that what riot games did was wrong.
https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/4PId6LRx-why-cant-i-mute-pings also things like muting pings are things that riot and the boards seem to disagree on.

Whether or not some post would be upvoted seems almost random and it seems like disagreeing or agreeing with riot games varies from time to time. As for your last few post. It just might be that people disagree with opinions that you currently have. It might be that other people like things that you personally dislike. Not everything you disagree is fanboyism.

As for people generally being on riot games side. Yes they probably are, this is the riot game forum after all. It stands to reason that league players generally like league. If people hated riot games that much, they would just leave.

As for fixing the boards, I would like to see a split upvote and downvote bar. so that post that automatically get downvotes from people by title alone would look like this. -30,+15 instead of just a total score -15. I have a feel that that would give people a better idea on how the boards are divided on opinions.

Well people have the right to agree or disagree with opinions, regardless of what those opinions are.

Wrong section of the board. You should have posted this on General Discussion.

You're more likely to get your thread deleted for being in the wrong section than get a Rioter comment here.

There have been a post or two about the subject, as I recall in a comment to a thread pointing out the many flaws with the boards layout. Maybe look through Boards Feedback for Riot Responses in the last 4 months.

Are you the new Impetual/Super Loller or something
