The Tribunal - Maintenance

Hello, I've come to discuss something of great importance. With the continued 'maintenance' (death) of the Tribunal system, we have only Riot updates that assure us things are being done and put in place to clean up the community.

However, things just seem to be getting worse and worse. Not only are the sores of the community multiplying and becoming worse, but the good people, who want to love this game, are giving up.

Every day more and more people tell me that they have given up on trying to do anything to clean up the community through reporting or other means. There is no verification that anything is really done to them and it is sucking the vigor out of them.

I propose the introduction of some form of verification that the bad eggs that are actively being reported and talked about, are punished. That there really is someone or something out there trying to clean up the community before it decays completely.

My thoughts so far go to something as simple as a new form of honor badge. Instead of based on honor however, you would get more points(?) for valiantly doing your best to correctly report those that deserve it and not falsely cluttering with undeserved ones.

While I'm sure the mechanics of this would be quite difficult to figure out, for instance I know not of an automated system capable of doling out points based on validity (without the Tribunal to validate them.....RIP).

Yet something, anything, must be done. The core game itself is still quite fun for me but with the loss of friends due to overall aggravation with the current community, and the recent....questionable balance changes, the game seems to be slowly, slowly dying.

I realize I've written quite a bit here, but if you've stayed with me for this long.....please, help us find a way to fix this before it's too late.

they don't do anything. my last game 3 players called me stupid, brainless, and worthless throughout my game. all i said was reporting you 3 after so plz keep talking. they all 3 then agreed to report me for verb abuse after game. the tribunal doesn't work. they just tell you it does to make you feel better. but im tired of the bs reports and this game. and i started playing over 6 months ago. it was one of my fav past times. but im about to quit bc it's not worth it anymore.

No verification? They've done so much with the Player Behavior Initiative, and there's more to come...

Go read through Lyte's ask.fm page as a start.

While I realize there are systems being put in place to more effectively automate some of the lesser offenses, and progress is being made, player-by-player verification is still yet to be seen.

I guess you're not going to check Lyte's page.

I did and read through a good deal of it. It seems you don't understand. What I seek is not further systems of punishment, but rather confirmation for players doing their duty to report diligently. (This does not include the Positive Play icons, before you mention those, they are different)

The new systems still rely on players reporting people, and players aren't reporting people.

The reward for reporting is getting rid of negative players. If you want actual rewards for reporting, all that's going to do is result in millions of false reports daily because people are trying to get the reward so are reporting for literally anything.

Hence the emphasis on rewarding the validity of reports.

People who make invalid reports have the weight of theirs reduced. Seriously, your idea would create an unfixable shitstorm that results in actual toxic players getting overlooked and innocent players getting punished.
