This is democracy.

[quote=DEWO]Ok, I missed quite a fun here. Since you asked about a thread that I locked, I am gonna take the punishment for it. Tell me, what does "So, I got a quadra just now, And...MUNDO STOLE MY PENTA I CAST Q RIGHT WHEN HE ATTACKED SUIDHASDJIOASDHOASJDKASJDKLASJDLKASJD:LASJDL:JSD :( I rage" topic bring to the Matchmaking forums? Especialy the "SUIDHASDJIOASDHOASJDKASJDKLASJDLKASJD:LASJDL:JSD" part. Noone cared about the topic. We got a separate (AND STICKIED) topic for discussion about scores and so on. I would leave this alone if it would look more like "I just got a penta stolen, did that happen to you? Do you think that leaving kills by your teammates to ensure that penta is a valid thing? Discuss" But the WHOLE topic was kept in trolololol and rage style. Useless posts... well we could officialy call it "word assosiation thread v2.0". Fiew ppl got some posts, I didnt see it going anywhere exept of pure spam. So i locked. I am trying to realy encourage ppl to write usefull things. I am a huge anti-fan of word assosiation threads, hit and miss things, and all other spam topics. Also if you feel that ANY topic was closed prematurely, dont hesitate to REPORT it. 1 mod locks the topic when he feels like it is against the rules, goes offtop or question was answered and it was going offtop from that place. if you report it, it will be taken into consideration by 5 ppl (3 mods and 2 admins) and if we find your report a valid thing, we will unlock it instantly. We have to give some blind trust on those mod ppl. We are humans we can make mistakes, or simply missjudge some things. Dont hesistate in showing it to us, but starting it like a rant... is not the best thing since ppl will naturaly start to defend themselves instead of taking it into consideration. Forums are quite young. MODs and the report tools are VERY VERY VERY young, we need to find perfect balance on the things we do here. We are thinking of new rules to the forums to clarify some stuff. ATM ppl tend to go offtop even if mod asks not to, and the only weapon that we have to stop it is... locking threads... We try not to archive (so for you guys a form of delete thread) too much. We want this place to be a bitsy more clean. We were forced to act more harsh lately Ala due to the amount of spam/offtop/derailing happening on the forums. http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/mobafire-support/excessively-derailing-threads-and-trolling-discussions-will-no-longer-be-tolerated-3841 We know this is democracy, a republic. But even in those you pick your gov, you pick your president (mods and admins here?) that will make the decisions. Sometimes they make good decisions and sometimes they have to pick the lesser of 2 evils. @ Tr4ce We are chilled, the thing is that users arent in many situations. When we feel situation is going out of hand... we have to take measures to stop this... and usualy it ends up closing the thread. If you want to fight, no matter how even with words, just PM that person. Dont go public with fights since we dont want ANY kind of foghts that means no "word fights" too.[/quote]

[quote=Alahric]I don't think what you did was wrong, I just think it wasn't the right choice either. You could have just moved the thread and given them a headsup. If they want to be retarded sheep trolls then that is their business, I think Matt was talking about excessive derailing and trolling (not pointless threads). Not to mention that people might have more spesific questions despite the actual question being answered in a thread. In short I dislike threads being closed on a whim, if anyone should be allowed to do that it is the author of the thread. If you really want to solve a big issue here; add a search button to the forums to avoid people posting multiple threads about the same topic. @DEWO, Tr4ce; sometimes it is not about the two people who care to disagree, if it gets out of hand one should only report the people who are attacking the person and not the argument e.i letting them know their behavior is not acceptable.[/quote]

[quote=SatansFate]If you even think this site resembles a democracy, then you're not paying much attention.[/quote]

[quote=Tr4ce]I just don't get how words can physically hurt someone. If your arguing with me, and i feel like your being immature, I'll stop. When I talk to people I don't stay on one specific topic, I find that boring! I like to talk to talk about different things. The whole it "Creates drama and It gets out of hand" is a HUGE over statement. How is it going to cause drama? the most they can do is "I don't like you" Oh my god! that's SO much drama. Boo Hoo! get over it. I ask again, How can it get out of hand? "I'm going to kill your family and you" Cool story bro. But you don't even know where people live at. The most you can do in this forum is use words.[/quote]

[quote=Alahric][quote=SatansFate] If you even think this site resembles a democracy, then you're not paying much attention. [/quote]I'm not sure if you realize it sir, but you are being dogmatic. I don't like how you present yourself with an oblivious statements as if I didn't know already, not everything is black and white, yes or no, right or wrong. We need to find some form of balance, and to aquire this we need to question even the most simplistic matters. While the events may be miniscule I can assure you that the concept is not, if you don't care to grasp that then what reason to you have for posting? In short; the title is not the bottomline.[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Alahric: Read the ToS. This is a dictatorship. But, dictatorships need support too. It's up to the dictator who will be appreciated and who will be oppressed, and most dictators online are pretty nice, but that's still after the fact... [color=yellow]This is a dictatorship.[/color][/quote]

[quote=Alahric]I'll be writing a a summary, or a resolution if you will. And for anyone who were wondering; the title is an analogy to "This, is, SPARTA!!!!" Then again I didn't want to make myself sound emotionally fueled.[/quote]
