Trigger-words?

Could I get a red to explain to me how the detection for in-game chat works without being too descriptive as to give away their "secret formula" for detecting toxicity? For example, I had a really good game last night (I've been off for like six months now) and although there weren't any issues/problems among me, and my team-mates (minus one refusing to cooperate, and running in repetitively dying giving us an almost thrown game) I'd say things like: "Well shit" "Holy shit man that was nice" "Fuck" "Damn it's alright"

it was all in good spirits, and combined with a means of encouragement, or shock towards the enemy's methods which I also noted with "wp" Is there something like a counter that determines how many times a word is said, and punishes you based off that? Or does it eliminate possible toxic behavior by looking for what words are used together in a sentence? Just want an explanation without revealing anything about the super-secret system.

Edit: I was not punished for anything, just curious.

It's some fancy machine learning magic for the most part in determining toxicity, so bad language in the contexts you provided aren't going to be an issue of any sort, and it probably even wouldn't be reviewed by the machine learning thing unless there were reports.

The only naive detection that works just on basic trigger words is extreme terminology that has no place in the game in pretty much any context (e.g. hate speech).

if you speak in game and are reported by another player for any means then it counts against you. been repeated punished for pushing my team to win the game. Cause even telling then what they could improve on sets them off. Then it cascades from there. So just don't say anything besides something like.

Riot take note that so an so is being toxic/inting/AFK. This way when they get mad and report everyone they will see your note to them so that you can direct them in the right direction to keep things in context since that is lost on the customer service. At least that is what I do to help train them.
