Riot's Censoring logic...

I think the amount of text being censured is over the board sometimes in League like are you saying this game is for 5 year olds if you're trying to censor almost every bad word that starts existing in boards or client? I can't even put curse words that aren't even insulting in my freaking Note that will only I read when I mouse over someone.......

Are you shifting a game that requires skill into game for literally everyone? What is this weird system.... A guy griefing a game that's same weight as a guy mad at him because emotions are like 10x faster than clever thoughts?

You can curse to your hearts content (at least in game), fuck shit ass etc as long as it isn’t homophobic or racist, you can say whatever the fuck you please, you can’t however insult people.

You can curse all you want (as long as it isn't hate speech such as racism or homophobia.) I curse in 95%+ of my games. "Fuck that champion", "Good fucking shit x is bullshit to lane against", etc. If you direct the curses at someone (ex. "You're a fucking dumbass Vi") that's when it becomes problematic and punishable.

Also, really tired of seeing the argument that "Why can't we do blank? Is this game made for babies and little kids?"

No, man. Some people just don't want to see slurs and insulting comments made every 10 seconds. It's exhausting.

Yes, you can.

No, it's not the "same weight." Intentional feeding and griefing is punished with an immediate 14-day suspension, it'd take 3 full chat punishments to reach that same point (unless you use hate speech, which in my and many other people's opinions should never be allowed.)

I found the phrase "put on" is also censored and i have no fucking idea what that's protecting. Very much OTT.

EDIT: I literally just wanted to say "i'm going to put on some music".

Do you think maybe contect dependent censoring is a little important here, or else it makes the chat completely non-user friendly.
