Question 1. Should a account be chat restricted or suspended for profanity? Question 2. does League of legends have a chat Filter? Question 3. If a player Disables their chat filter willingly why do they have a right to report? Question 4. If profanity is so taboo, why has Riot elected to not Filter all chat by default? Question 5. Do you know Riot chat restricts for 50, 60, or even more matches for profanity? Question 6. Why is not chat restriction not good enough for Riot? do you really need to suspend a account even when other players have elected to remove their profanity filter? Question 7. Why suspend a account when the player never is never Afk, Never feeds, always show good teamwork, but curses alot?
Question 8. Has Riot got nothing better to do with their time other than to micro manage chat? Question 9. Do you know League of Legends upon installation has a active chat filter? that must be disabled of a players own free will? Question 10. Do you like profanity? if not turn on your F%@king chat Filter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a difference between "THIS FUCKING TEEMO IS A FUCKTARD FUCK YOU YOU IDIOT GO DIE IN A HOLE OR HANG YOURSELF" and "I'm a fucking idiot what the fuck" or "fuck we can't do that again" once you figure that out you're fine and shouldn't be reported.

E.g of reportable sentence "Blitz what the fuck is wrong with you. You need to hang yourself because you fucking suck at this game. Uninstall bitch"

E.g of (in my mind) a non-reportable sentence "This fucking teemo and his fucking shrooms omg. Get sweeping lens so we don't keep dying to the fucking things." (provided teemo is on enemy team)

I also don't believe you should be able to report the enemy team for verbal abuse against YOU. It's the enemy team after all, you should expect insults. However, if they abused their own team, then a report is fine.

Me to enemy teemo (shouldn't be reportable): FUCK YOU TEEMO!-basically saying fuck anyone to the enemy team in my mind is acceptable because its your enemy. You shouldn't be nice to them but on the other hand, telling them to go die in a hole, hang themselves, the usual insults is a bit overboard.

its not the words that are the problem is what the words mean and how they use them.

And also there are tons of post's about the community being toxic, and thats why they 'micro manage' chat to make the game better.

logically makes sense but riot probably has a "people shouldnt or dont act like this anyways ect" type of response to back up this way of banning people maybe its to make more money but you think they would lose more money implementing all these systems anyways when they already have one people are just too lazy or incompetent to use the one thats given.

Just because you can turn the chat filter off, Riot does not condone to EXCESSIVE profanity in games. Yes, you have the option to turn it on or off, but that does not give you the right to be abusive with it.

Also to answer these:

1: Depends how profanity is used. 2. YEs 3. Because they're ok with seeing fuck ingame. They're not ok with being told to go fuck themselves or uninstall. 4. Its not. Its how its used against their teammates. 5. Then you must've used the profanity against them and gone overboard with the insults. 6. Because there's other ways of messing up the game for the team besides chat-there was a tahm video I saw of him eating kha and causing him to lose ranked. And yes they do. No one wants you if all you do is swear at people for how they suck at the game. We know our mistakes tyvm. We don't need you telling us them. 7. Good teamwork and cursing a lot (if you got banned, at your teammates) NEVER go together. Thats a lie right there. 8. They've got better stuff to do such as balancing, lore, new champ ideas, etc. 9. Yes to both. 10. Not fond of it but being ok with seeing it. <<<2 separate things right here

I don't think that Players should be banned if they curse at situations, but if they curse at their teammates then they need to be banned. That just creates a toxic environment.

I believe it has to be kept because over half the time it is some kid who is verbally putting someone down or a bad play or something by using their whole vocabulary in a paragraph to show how bad that person is at the game.
