oh, how do i get chat logs?
When you log in to your account, you should receive a reform card that tells you why you got punished. The chat logs would be attached there. If it's not there for some reason, you'll need to file a support ticket.
Fair warning though: Nobody here has the power to alter or overturn punishments in any way. The **only **benefit to posting those logs here is to better understand your punishment and how to better avoid future ones.
how long is a chat restriction? if it happens a select number of times is there further punishment?
There are two separate punishment ladders, one for gameplay and one for chat.
The gameplay punishment ladder covers intentionally feeding and griefing. On your first offense you receive a 14-day suspension, on your second offense you receive a permanent ban. AFKing is covered by the Leaverbuster system and will usually only warrant low priority queues (having to wait up to 20 minutes before being able to start a game.)
The chat ladder covers chat related offenses like hate speech and verbal abuse. When using "regular" toxicity (things like asking for reports, telling someone to "shut the fuck up", etc.) your first punishment will be a 10 game chat restriction. That's followed by a 25 game chat restriction, a 14-day suspension, and finally a permanent suspension. When using hate speech (racism, homophobia, sexism, etc., AKA all the really bad stuff) your first punishment will be a 14-day suspension followed by a permanent suspension.
