False reports give chat restrictions

I received 26 games of chat restriction for absolutely no reason at all. Then I mad 1 million % sure that the next 26 games, i went out of my way to only type in chat positive remarks. Literally the only things I said were "good job," "dont give up we can win," and "ggwp". I was still reported for "negative attitude" and "verbal abuse" pop-ups at the end of 1 or 2 games even when I only said these remarks.

As a result, After 26 games were up, I received another 38 games of chat restriction. I kept up the same behavior, thinking that it was just a flook. Keep in mind, I said ONLY positive things in chat. I barely even talked at all because I didnt want to waste my messages in game.

I would still get pop-up messages that I'm getting reported for verbal abuse or negative attitude. One game in particular I played Katarina and went 15-1. I said not a single word in pre-game, in-game, or post-game chat. I STILL got reported for negative attitude.

I received ANOTHER 44 games of chat restriction. This proves that false reports give chat restrictions and I request RIOT to disable the rest of chat restrictions I have on my account. Look up my last 100 games played and I guarantee that you will not find a single thing negative whatsoever. In fact, everything I said has been positive that should be rewarded.

Chat restriction is automated because tribunal is down and has been down for over a year. It's a lazy way for Riot not to have to deal with it. I find it hilarious that Riot won't put in great ideas because the minority might abuse it but yet they have a report system that the majority abuse.

Either way, get prepared for people to call you a liar and flame you and say they never been chat restricted and it must be you.

maybe your perception of positive/neutral is off. its tough to judge sarcasm and tone on the internet. from what i've seen when accounts with increasing chat restrictions are reviewed, they were actually not improving from what got them restricted in the first place other than limiting their most toxic behavior.

Same thing happened to me. It's very annoying, especially since support does absolutely nothing when you try to talk to them. All they do is copy and paste some bullshit answers that have nothing to do with your question.

They took down tribunal because "meh, we think it needs fixed" and replaced it with "we are going to give out chat bans like crazy and give you absolutely no reason why we did it". Bring back old tribunal.

You're probably like me. You come off as rough and tend to disagree a lot with others opinions. You're not mean you just state what you think.

Example of this. "You keep dying for dumb reasons, get some wards and ward up." Me. "Will you just gank for me?" Laner. "I will when I can but you can't be feeding alright." Me. "Wow report this jungler he's trolling." Laner.

That is pretty much every game for me. These reports stack every game and make us look like were toxic all the time. Kind of frustrating IMO.

There is no such thing as a false report, all reports are taken into account.

did you dance or laugh when you won? I asked why I got reported negative once and a guy told me it was because I laughed at the end.

Perhaps you are being targeted by a troll or someone who has a mad on for you?

No matter what people say, I'd buy this. I got chat restricted for roughly thirty games when the message tells me no reasons as to why I was chat restricted. The last game I played, I remember distinctly acting like a competitive player instead of a stinker. Everyone was joking around in all-chat and things were relatively harmless. The only explanation I can come up with is that I flame a lot on PBE. Like a lot a lot. That's mainly because PBE is a tilt inducing nightmare of a server that is basically the definition of anarchy. Now, for this to transfer over to my live account makes no real sense. I get reported for stupid reasons, but it just doesn't add up why the amount of reports weighs more than the story behind each report. If the automated system doesn't work, you should at least change it by now. To quote Egoraptor (although I will get very negative responses for using his quote), "If the formula doesn't work, you change the formula." It's no different just because it's an automated system.

Not being able to talk to your teammates is a pain in the ass. You can't tell jokes or make a come back when someone flames you. My League crashed in the middle of the game and I could not reconnected, no matter how many times I re-log. Eventually I could connect and it said: "The game you are trying to join no longer exist." I re-log and I got a 10 game chat restriction. What the ACTUAL FK!

People report people who demolished them as much as trolls. Gives them back the feeling of control after losing.

I recently had a game, the first after my chat restrictions ended, and I said nothing all game but my teammates were very abusive. I was a solo in a 4 man queue. At the end of the game I was reported 5x by the enemy team for verbal abuse. I asked the enemy team why they reported me as I said nothing all game. Their response was "you should not queue up with a-holes and or be silent when teammates are negative". I cannot control the actions of others and mid way through the game I was so sick of the back in forth crap in all chat that that I just hit /mute all. How is is fair that the next day I log in to 132 games of further chat restrictions? I assume it may have been the day before I was also hit with several reports for taking blue as jungle and was reported by a duo queue and I also beat mid lane 16-2-10 and at the end of that game the enemy mid laner said "enjoy your chat restrictions" and the report box pops up. This has really got to stop.

I just received another 82 chat restriction games for saying absolutely nothing in those 44 games. Riot really needs to remove these. Because there is obviously a flaw in their automated system.

How about just not typing anything at all in the chat? Then that might not happen. I've never had a chat restriction and that is how.
