Think the chat filter misinterpreted me as saying something racist which got me pbanned

A while back I got a 2-week suspension for saying the n word in an edgy way, which was fair enough. I stopped playing while my account was suspended. Didn't realise the chat filter would punish you that hard for it, and I figured I wouldn't use the word anymore and it'd be fine (never use that word in the first place, just randomly used it that time).

That was the first time something had actually happened to my account for ages excluding a 10-match chat ban once in a while when I was having a bad lengthy series of games.

Which is why I'm surprised I suddenly got permanently suspended in last game, I assume because I had said '%%%%%%%%%%% ding dong' in my second flagged game as a joke, and possibly my account had been flagged as being 'racist' or something.

I'm asian myself, so I didn't think it would be considered that big of a deal.

Otherwise, the other messages I said were relatively rude, but I'd have expected a 10-20 match chat ban instead. Hence, I'm surprised I'm suddenly permabanned.

It's probably better for me since I put way too much of my time in this game, but I figured I'd try and see if something can be done since a perma-ban I feel is excessive and came out of nowhere.

As in, honestly, I've said much worse way way in the past than the games that were shown in the log and for them, I got at most a 10-20 match chat ban.

SO NOT ONCE BUT TWICE YOU USE RACIAL REMARKS AND THINK THE SYSTEM IS THE REASON WHY YOU GOT PERMABANNED ?

REALLY?

The system only punishes you if you're reported, so at least one person took offense to those percentage signs. BTW Svenskeren once got punished for the same thing, so they do take it somewhat seriously.

You aren't punished based on what you did, you are punished in tiers. After a two week ban, you get perma'd.

When you got your two week suspension, it told you that your next punishment for any reason would be a permanent ban.

The normal progression is this: 10 game Chat Restriction 25 game Chat Restriction 14 day ban perm ban

If you play regularly, without getting reported, it can take between 3-6 months to go down one punishment tier. That would mean a person who got a 10 game CR would get another 10 game CR, if he played cleanly for 3-6 months.

Using hate speech or telling someone to harm themselves normally skips two punishment levels, for a 14 day ban first offense or a permaban if there was a previous punishment.

You may make a new account and try again.

I have to agree. I was in a premade yesterday and I got my riven ahead and she was just taunting the enemy in all chat and in emotes. I jokenly said, "Riven your such a dick lol". But her chat filter blocked it out and thought I was calling her a bitch.
