Giving the toxic pool a clean slate was a bad idea

Why would you people do this. What if the states or other regions released their 'prisoners'. into back into society. Hell would break loose that's for sure.

They are prisoners because they broke the rules and they got punished. So now why are you punishing the players that stand by the rules but now have to associate with the ones that don't?

Going with the prison analogy, this is like changing the sentences of people who recreationally smoked to much lighter or nonexistent ones after, say, the Supreme Court rules that a right. This isn't "oh look, they are letting out all the murderers and rapists" this is "oh look, they are letting people who didn't do much wrong and were sentenced much harsher than needed a second chance".

The point of punishment isn't revenge, it's rehabilitation. Chat restrictions/Ranked restrictions are meant to make people think about what they say and do and choose the better path. If they don't, more punishments are handed out or escalted: if they do punishments are lightened or completely removed. The system was changed to be a lot less frustrating to people trying to reform (won't finish chat restrictions and then be hit with another set, or be given several thousand chat restrictions). Sure, some people will probably be toxic still. But those people would and were still being toxic before the slate cleaning and will just be punished again, and likely escalated. The change is mostly to help the people who got screwed from massive stackings of restrictions.

To be fair, I used to think that way about people who would go to jail when I was younger and naive. Yes, certain people deserve to go to prison and belong there, but there are also some people who changed because of what happened and it was a wake up call to them to change their lives. Unless the specific individual victimized you or someone related to you, you don't really have ANY right to judge them just as they shouldn't have any right to pass judgement on you.

Even though it is extrapolating on your idea with them having broken the rules and getting punished, what do you feel should happen to them AFTER they serve their "time". They are supposed to be reintegrated back into society with the hope that they are reformed after serving their time. The sad truth, though, is that they often aren't able to get a good job because of their time served and are often viewed negatively because of their past actions, even if they changed. Anyways, the only permanent way to "remove" them from being a "hindrance" to society would be their death, and while some people do deserve it, a LOT don't. They are people too and deserve your respect until they prove otherwise. If you relate that to LoL's, it is similar. The only "legitimate" way to remove this problem is to perma ban them, which is essentially death. While some people who continuously exhibit negative behavior will end up getting banned, those who don't want to compromise their account will hopefully end up changing. Even IF they get banned, hopefully they will be changed enough if they make a new account for it to not happen again.
