Dissatisfied with Player Behaviour response

RevelASIAN··2 votes·625 views

Just wondering if there's any way of getting another Player Behaviour "specialist" to look at your account and handle your ticket if you feel the response to the original to be dissatisfactory? Judging by what I've seen just looking at this board it seems I'm not alone in this matter and how Riot has handled people's cases.

You can ask them in your ticket. If you're being uncooperative yourself prepare to get shut down though; most of the time the response is "unsatisfactory" it's actually that the player won't accept the reality of his situation, not Player Support was wrong or unfair.

Yet they have not been at all kind to me even with the new people I have gotten. They openly admitted to me that have no zero nadda none no experience or training with autism. Meaning they have no experience on how to handle a matter or to talk to someone who has autism or aspergers. The response I got was basically saying that autistic people are no different than normal people. And I have been trying my best to be kind and fair to them they were also rude to my legal guardian who knows how autistic people are.

I don't really know how autism might translate through a text conversation (like tourettes won't, for example), but I find it hard to believe they were rude whether they had training in handling it or not. If you feel they are unprofessional and not properly trained then that is an issue, and I advise submitting a ticket specifically about that.

I can explain on how autism works both in real life conversations and text conversations. Not sure here cause it will be long but hey get some popcorn cause it's time to get into the news. Aspergers is part of the autism spectrum but just like Autism both have levels. I never knew what level I am in the aspergers but I was diagnosed with it as a kid cause a teacher noticed it cause her kid had it. Aspergers makes it harder to socialize with people in real life and mainly online is more like of a home a family to me. But also having depression is not a great combo with Aspergers. It makes it harder for me to not retaliate even though I been practicing all my life to not to but it is hard and not at all easy. And I know it is hard to believe but they have been the way they been wording there sentences I can tell. I been bullied from day one of pre-school all the way to high-school I know every form of bullying, or just being a prick. And they have been to me and I wouldn't even know how to Nami unless you want to help me out on how to write out a ticket for that well that be nice.

That's what he said.

When I'm cooperative, my ticket gets ignored for over a month and counting. Then when I send another about another issue, I'm basically told to fuck off and respond to the previous, unrelated ticket with a warning, that bumping a ticket, puts it at the end of the review queue.

That's simply insulting.

Tickets are answered in the order they are received. Sorry you find that insulting, but a queue is necessary to keep order. Trying to get around the queue by flooding them with tickets isn't going to help anyone.

I don't think, you've read my post carefully, so I'll make a detailed step-by-step of the situation.

  1. I create a ticket about boards suspension. It gets closed after "A specialist will contact you shortly". Fine, a misclick can happen to anybody.
  2. I create a follow-up, saying my previous ticket was closed.
  3. I get two bot responses "A specialist will contact you shortly", third response is a guy asking me what server my account is on, despite the fact I filled all forms and explicitly stated the suspension happened on NA boards.
  4. I answer him.
  5. A month later and counting I have yet to receive a response.
  6. About two weeks later I get suspended for another trivial thing, that nobody sane would mind.
  7. I create another ticket, since it's about another issue.
  8. On the very first response I'm told my case is being reviewed in the previous ticket (The one from points 1-5), that I should forward all questions to that ticket to avoid confusion, that bumping tickets results in them being put at the end of the review queue and that the ticket is closed.
  9. I bump that new ticket, saying it's about another suspension entirely.
  10. Everything I wrote in that response, gets completely ignored and I'm again told to bump the 2 months old ticket instead.

Now, if you actually read all of those points, tell me, if that's how you are suppose to treat people, who have concerns about moderation?

In case there are still problems with reading comprehension, I wrote all of the above, in a slightly different manner in this comment.

That sounds pretty frustrating. Do you have the ticket numbers of those requests?

Vistha Kai1 votes

Why, of course!

#21560881 - mistakenly closed, no big deal. #21658866 - follow-up to the above, a month and counting without a response. #22233346 - not related to previous tickets, where I was nearly told to fuck off.

On it like an Onyx. Thanks.

Now, the outcome is something different entirely.

I'm very surprised, that not only you could reach out to the guy handling my ticket, but that I got a compensation for lack of response. (Which I'd only wish, it was for my main champ, but that's still more, than I'd ever expect. Don't mind the whining, I'm still grateful.)

One fact remains, that I wasn't given a direct answer about the issue of my posts being removed and my account being suspended from Boards, like there wasn't even a "Those punishments were justified" kind of response, but I suppose, I can let it slide this time.


Do you know, if there's any kind of movement of Player Support being properly updated/modified to handle Boards requests?

As it is now, there isn't even a proper ticket type for anything Boards-related.

I'm either picking "I have a question about League of Legends/Riot Games" or "Account Recovery", both of which kind of work and don't work at the same time.

I'm sure, a proper ticket type would help both sides, to make solutions easier and faster.

The removal of posts from the Boards is an entirely moderation issue; I imagine Riot doesn't have more specific features within the ticket system to ensure that the tier 2+ specialists can focus on tickets without having to spend time to redirect them. The tickets will be reviewed by a tier 1 specialist who can ensure that the ticket does in fact go to the correct department.

Glad you could get your request resolved!

What do yoiu expect when you deal with minimum-wage earning customer service reps. This is the equivalent of a cashier at mcdonalds. They dont give a fuck about their jobs, Riot doesnt give a fuck about your account and if banned HOPE if you come back you wont be 1) toxic 2) cheap with your money.

You can just continue replying until the ticket closes, and then opening another ticket in follow-up. It'll give you a different staff member, more often than not.

What DTN said is true. On the other hand, if they're wrong, they've got a job description, so I don't think they can really admit it beyond obvious things like typos or incorrect copy-pastes (I've got a few choice inconsistencies they have failed to address over the course of a lot of different player behaviour staff -- they tried once, and when their explanations were just plain incorrect, starting closing tickets instantly).

It really depends on why you're dissatisfied. Posting your reform card would probably help us advise you.

The last two times I used Player support went like this.

The first one:

  1. I got suspended from Boards for posting a mildly suggestive gif.
  2. I realized somebody else posted nearly the same thing in the same thread and it was completely fine.
  3. Went to support saying, I was unrightfully suspended.
  4. "A specialist will contact you shortly", the ticket gets immediatelly closed by that very person who responded with that line.
  5. I create a follow-up.
  6. First I got 2 bot responses with "A specialist will contact you shortly", then on the third try they said they messed up, but will continue with that case in the new ticket.
  7. The next guy asks me what server is my account registered on... Should I mention, I filled all forms creating those tickets?
  8. Fine, I responded. Over a month later I'm still waiting for a response.

Second time some time later:

  1. I got suspended for another thing so trivial, I realized Boards' mods must be some SJW femi-nazi mods hired from Reddit or something.
  2. Went and created a ticket about an unrightful suspension (Again).
  3. I got a response saying my matter is being dealt with in the previous ticket (The one that hasn't been responded for a month), that all questions should be forwarded there to avoid confusion and that bumping tickets results in them being put at the end of the review queue, and with that the ticket was closed.
  4. I opened up the same ticket, trying to explain to that dense mongrel FireFang (Who's the one handling this ticket. Btw he has Warwick's avatar, so the insult I just used, checks out), that this ticket is about another suspension entirely and it isn't anyhow related to the previous one.
  5. Once again I got told to forward all replies to the previous ticket, that is being ignored for a month.

the support system doesn't have anything to do with the boards.

They'll just tell you that the boards are looked over by private company mods individuals like "TheCurator".

If you want the mods to notice you, try starting a thread here with @TheCurator in the title.

Wrong, I had my thread reinstated by the Player Support once, after it was unrightfully removed for being posted in wrong sub-Board, which was actually the right sub-Board.

And I'm sure as hell, not going to talk with a feminazi, that was most likely responsible for my suspensions and removed comments.
