Hi. I would like some information regarding a ban I received.

Hey, so I hadn't logged in after about a week. When I did to get in on some URF action, I saw that I had a two-week ban. Unfortunately, there is no context or anything given with the ban. Now, I know I have been rather toxic lately, on top of being unable to resist reciprocating others' toxicity. So I'm sure punishment is justified. I had never previously received any kind of chatban or a warning other than the stock warning you get when someone reports you, so I was pretty surprised.

I'll certainly reform my behavior if I continue playing League. I don't know if I will continue playing because my own toxicity aside, the toxicity of others is constant and incredibly hard for me to deal with. But if I do, I'll definitely be making an effort to going back to cheerleading my team because it wins you games and it makes League way more enjoyable. Part of the reason I took that week-long break was because this game stopped being fun, from my own toxicity and others'.

I'd really like to know what exactly I was banned for. I don't think it's fair to take anything I typed out of context of what other people were saying (as I've seen done in the past), so I hope that is considered (and you shouldn't need a lack of context to find some truly terrible things I've said), but nonetheless I know there were games/streaks where I was just losing it on people, and that's just stupid of me and I should be better at controlling my emotions.

I guess if you have to smite me I'll understand; I deserve it. Mostly, I would just like this process to be more open and transparent and for you to let me know exactly what I did that is unacceptable, because I can't remember what I've said over the course of weeks/hundreds of games.

Thanks for your reply. And try to remember that some of us are just frustrated and being anonymous jerks to other frustrated anonymous jerks, and saying things we don't mean, instead of just being total sociopaths.

This is the main issue with their suspension process. THEY DO NOT TELL YOU WHAT YOU ARE BEING SUSPENDED FOR (caps for emphasis). In the little email it just says that you are banned for X number of weeks, but do not say the cause, the issue, and the incident. this needs to be fixed, otherwise this toxicitiy will continue.

It's not something they're unaware of. In fact, that feedback cycle is one of the main reasons they've been working to get the Tribunal back up - the Reform Card system was built into it. In fact, because of how long it's taken, they're apparently intending to start breaking up the launches so that they can get Reform Cards back sooner than later. Here's Lyte's comment on it:

... it's taken us a long time to get the system back up.

However, we're in plans to break the launches apart so that players can see/test/give feedback about pieces of the system first. For example, we're considering sending chat logs for penalties automatically in the client and in e-mail and bringing back "Reform Cards" first. For those who don't remember, Reform Cards were cards sent to players that were punished so they can see exactly what they were punished for, and they can share the evidence online with the community.

Final plan TBD, but I think it'd be valuable that the Reform Card system comes back online sooner than later.

I've been reported a lot for stupid reasons and I haven't gotten a warning.

You'll have better luck with a Support Ticket, or posting on Reddit. The Rioters that discuss things like this (Lyte and WookieeCookie, in particular) don't spend a significant amount of time on the boards - or if they do, it's not in Miscellaneous.

where should he post it on this board then? this is the easiest place for all of the people who want to see the logs (everyone who has posted in here so far) to see him get el banned :^)

I don't know, to be honest. I spend all my time on the Miscellaneous board, and I've never seen Lyte or Wookiee post here. If they are posting on the boards, I don't know where they're doing it.

Maybe GD? Definitely not Help & Support.
