The Importance Of Establishing Context With Multi-Term Words Before Banning Players

It's very simple, there are many multi-term words out there and are becoming more commonly used now a days across more than their place of origin.

Homophobic terms tends to be a banning point for players, but what happens when the "homophobic term" used in a totally different context causing it to hold a completely different meaning than the instantly thought of homophobic version?

A great example of this is the word "%%%". Lets say this occurs in the NA server. A buddy of yours comes over from Ireland and is a smoker. The Irishman transfers their account to NA and they say something involving the word "%%%". Someone sees the word and reports them for "homophobia" because they used that word. For those who don't know, a "%%%" in Ireland is a cigarette, but it can also be used as a homophobic term by most other places. The censor spots that word in the Irishman's chatlog and they get banned (assuming their account has reached past chat restriction) because it's assigned as a bad word. The Irishman never actually did anything wrong, they were just talking how they do in their homeland and how they were raised as such. The game however doesn't care because it only looks for specific words instead of both the word and context used.

A lock-out system should be put in place on accounts under the ability to be banned when multi-term words are used, and have an actual person contact the player themselves to establish context of the multi-term term word BEFORE issuing bans if the multi-term word is used. Everyone talks in their own way, some people use multi-term words more often than others with 0 intention of the word be used in the most commonly known version.

Riot has always wanted players to have fun and be themselves when they play, allow multi-term words to be used AS LONG AS THEY REMAIN WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF SPORTSMANSHIP. Part of what makes a person them self is the words they use and how they use them, limiting that limits the person and how they can enjoy the game.

I don't expect many to agree with what I've said here, but context is important at every moment of someone's life. For some players League is a big part of their life so context should be important here too.

Thank you for your time.
