I responded to a Riot post from a few months ago that stated banning was implemented because chat restrictions were simply ineffective after a certain point without providing any statistical evidence. Just wanted to know what the rate of players revert to inting/greifing after seeing a permanent/or elongated chat ban. I can't resurrect and old thread so I am starting a new one in an attempt to find this answer! I am fairly certain they have the evidence I just wanna see it with my own eyes. I got trust issues.

If you don't trust their statements, why would you trust their data? Legitimately puzzled here, as if they DID want to lie to us about the results (which they don't and aren't), they could easily falsify the data.

I'd love to see a clairvoyance blog about behavior. Lyte did one 3 yrs ago, now it's all hush hushed.

I've asked for it since 2 years ago as well.. but they won't release anything and I've become accustomed to the fact that they won't release the data.

That's not the sort of hard data they generally provide. Some of it is operations related, some of it is to protect systems, but often it's just because there are some people who will never accept anything Riot says.

Well, it's like 13% of people who recieve a 10 game chat ban get punished again. The other 87% never do.

Or maybe it was 87% of people who are punished once never get punished again.

They also released statistics from 25 game chat to 14day, and 14day to perma individually at different times but hell if i remember the numbers.

Also not sure if it was 87 or 83 tbh.

Could be either. It was a tip when loading in. :)
