I wrote about this earlier, and sent a support ticket, about 3 hours ago. I've rechecked the summoner on the matchlist and the name has now been changed to ****inmyfurnace. Again, I ask - seriously Riot, WTF?
Deep Terror Nami5 votesIf someone repeatedly picks offensive names despite forced name changes, they may be banned. You can report it in a Support Ticket and just leave it to Riot.
Drugoth3 votesI have NO clue how Riot missed that...
Chermorg1 votesRiot doesn’t have someone sitting there reviewing every new summoner name?
Oleandervine3 votesIs it a slur for Jewish people?
Dope Solo1 votesI'm not sure that it's a slur, just direct mention. It's visible on lolking.
General Esdeath 2 votesI don't understand. What are the first 2 letters? Did the name start with "Jews"?
Dope Solo1 votesYes.
General Esdeath 1 votesI don't think you had to censor that
Dope Solo1 votesUnder normal circumstances, probably not. But I didn't want to post the entirety of the original context on a public forum, for a game I kind of like and enjoy.
WzqdQsZwQA1 voteswhat is the issue ? i think
Drugoth1 votesThe first word is "Jews"
HalcyonDweller1 votesUpdate your support ticket. They may not have been the ones to force the name change. Maybe the player changes it back and forth before they can be reviewed so that it doesn't catch them.
Either way, letting Riot know that it changed will help them track the account down.
ModPeriscope1 votesOnly do this if your support ticket has been closed. Turning in another will knock your ticket to the back of the queue.
Keep in mind, they will not tell you whether a punishment was given.
HalcyonDweller2 votesIf the situation has changed it may be beneficial to update it anyway. Riot won't be able to help the OP with the case if they aren't able to find the account in question.
yes, they do not tell us the results of investigations, because that would violate player privacy.
Silent Gravity1 votesRiot knows the account name, not just the displayed summoner name. They can't get confused by a name-change.
HalcyonDweller1 votesAh okay, that's good!
Chermorg1 votesThere’s no way they could have a list of names long enough to cover both “****inmyoven” and “****inmyfurnace”.
Those are four word combinations which are generally considered “more secure” (i.e. harder to guess) than passwords of 8 characters with 1 number and special character.
The “brute force” list that’d be necessary to catch all of this type of name would be millions of entries long, and it’d have to be human made because no AI is advanced enough in human language to write offensive text like this reliably.
Just report them for inappropriate name (or if you aren’t in a game with them someone else probably will), and they’ll get banned.
Silent Gravity1 votesIf someone has an offensive name, you report them. Riot will force a name-change. (This part already happened. Good work.)
If they change it to another offensive name, they're likely to receive a punishment if you report it again. I've seen it before.
Dope Solo1 votesWhere do you see it changed? I just looked at it. I'm also not sure I agree with allowing a name change instead of an outright permanent ban, particularly in a case like this. A toxic individual is still going to be toxic whether the name is changed or not.
Drugoth1 votesI think he's talking about the inmyoven > inmyfurnace change.
OnlyYouCanHearMe1 votesAhhhhh. This second thread makes this make a lot more sense now. Yeah, I'll go with this being incredibly offensive, and only being made worse when they changed it to furnace. That is just in utterly horrible taste, and I can't imagine Support being okay with this second name any more than the first.
Dope Solo1 votesUpdate: After a couple days as a random string of numbers, presumably due to intervention by Riot, the account name has now been changed to Jewsinmyapple. Thoughts?
