What happens if I'm falsely reported?

EDIT: Solved with the FAQ - Ignore and have a nice day! :D

So I was just playing in a particularly hard match - the opponents were really fed the whole match and it ended up with us parked at our own base, going an inch out and being slaughtered.

The post-game lobby wouldn't load for me within a couple seconds and I really didn't feel like chatting so I clicked to skip waiting for stats. After a minute, I get the message of something to the effect of "Your behavior is not in line with the Summoner's Code because of Harassment: Verbal Abuse. Please play better in the future." (I closed out it by accident)

Uh... what? I never verbally abused anyone. The closest I ever got to being negative was saying "Does anyone else have any better ideas rather than charging? 3v1 and we still have no chance." (at one point we had 3 of us targetting a champion with about 25% health and we all got massacred) I see now how that could be taken as "ugh my teammates suck" but I seriously was asking for strategy help from the other players who may have had no idea what was going on other than seeing a triple kill.

PhailRaptor's post here makes it seem like you need to be continuously warned for verbal abuse in order to see this. I rarely use chat at all, and when I do it's usually to say something like "come on guys, we can still win this" or to organize who's in what lane if the lobby isn't enough time. I fail to see how I've been reported enough for verbal abuse to warrant a warning.

From the posts on that discussion, it makes it seem like being shown this warning permanently marks your account. I want to be in the Tribunal and do Ranked and everything when I get to level 30, but if I have a "warned for verbal abuse" sticker on me I'll be denied.

I'm afraid to play League of Legends now because I'm afraid I'll be punished for playing... somebody please tell me that I won't be punished without a competent Tribunal review, and that my warning was just a fluke?

Nothing happens whether its real or false report really.

Also, it looks like the tribunal is in recess so there's no way it could have been a tribunal review.

So after searching for about about a half hour I found the Behavior Alerts FAQ, which seems to answer my question. So ignore this.

But seriously - that alert is really terrifying for the first time. It really should have a link to the FAQ (unless I missed it glancing it over) and explaining that it's just a warning and not a ban.
