banning players of an online game is a joke

AdaMoX999··1 votes·1,000 views

i do not think its ok to flame in game in any sort of game but i believe perm banning someones account is rather harsh why if flaming and cursing swearing is a bannable offence does it allow someone to remove the language filter why not have it on perma this would flter out all the harsh words that the small children like to report everyone for .as you can guess ive just been perma banned but it could of been avoided by having such things in place flaming and venting is sometimes unavoidable its also helps to release some anger why dont riot give the option to restrict our own chat for say 1 week to 30 days and also still allow the said chat to be sent but not visible to other players so people can get this anger out makes the game a little like therapy in a sense but perma banning is stupid all you ever hear in game is report him/her for feeding or whatever if there having a bad game how can you not retaliate to that sometimes also what about ppl with anger issues that have actuall medical problems ppl with adhd or similar who do it without thinking and so on we just ban them also i guess any way riot what do you think and i look forward to the little hitlers jumping on this and saying u fame u deserve bans blah blah blah but in all honesty maybe i do but riot need a better plan because flaming in chat and cheating are the only way to get a ban maybe implement a self restrict or whatever

Wanna know the bigger joke? When players skip reading the Term of Use and go on to download the game. When they're banned, they get mad saying that Riot is taking their freedom of speech, or how Riot is liable to give them Refund or how Riot isn't allowed to ban them due to how much they spend. Or how Riot promote bullying because they banned them for "defending" themselves while using negativity to fight negativity. Or how these banned players are blaming others players or Riot for their lack of self-control, or how the banned players say Riot shouldn't be focusing on banning punished player's negativity, they should focus on banning other player's negativity.

That's the bigger joke.

I've been here since beta, with the same account since 2009. I've asked them for many things and they've given it to me for free due to great understanding. They've given me advices, they've taught me lessons, they have punished me for my own faults, I've given them advices, I've played with Riot members, Riot Members gifted me things more times than I can count, I've been part of this community for over 7 years. I got 287 skins and I've never lost my honor once. Riot never cared about my money. That's never anything they've ever mentioned to me nor applaud me for it nor rewarded me for it. But I can tell you something.

** My account will never be permabanned. I say that with great confidence and without the slightest worry. **

Why? No one will ever be responsible for my ban. Not Riot, not the community, not anyone. Only I would be. Only I can be responsible for my punishments because it will be based on my actions and my responses in the game. Only I AM responsible for the outcome of my account. That goes for everyone's account who plays this game. Everyone is responsible for the outcome of their account(s).

I know for a simple fact, no matter what happens, no matter what position I am put in, no matter how bad my games are, and no matter how bad anyone trolls me, grief me, or flame me, I won't ever break, and I won't ever do anything against the summoner's code or code of conduct. I know the ToU, and I know what I signed up for. So I know how not to be banned and I know I won't ever be banned. Because I don't ever argue with my teammates, I don't troll my teammates, I don't flame my teammates, I don't curse at my teammates, nor will I ever do anything negative to my teammates. The Mute function has been my greatest ally. But I type A LOT every game. When necessary that is. I am not perfect but the rules are not even a tad bit complex.

So whatever they did to get banned, it's because they're either being protected from hackers or they DESERVED it. No in between. So I don't care how "legit" any of your arguments are, Riot doesn't care about your money. Fact.

and you reply with that irrelevant shit, you are still incorrect many many players have been unfairly banned either it be a chat ban or 14day ban yes most of the time people deserve it but riots punishment system is more flawed then the USA government. i can tell you right now if you got banned for no reason riot would not give a shit because all they care about is money why do you think they don't get rid of bots why do you think they don't have a proper punishment and support system you can say all you want this happens if you like it or not(0 grammar)

No worries, I won't ever get banned. It's never on my mind. So your statement is irrelevant.

10641003DEL11 votes

my statement still stands just because you wont get banned doesn't mean im false

Zombie Gerbil2 votes

Your statement is irrelevant. It will never stand regardless of your opinion due to the fact it is false. Not replying to any more of your response because nothing about what you say is logical nor is it irrelevant. Also, you're not an individual who should be spoken to or given attention. You're officially ignored.

Because a player having a pathetic meltdown is liability to their team, and the language filter only blocks some annoying language - it does nothing to stop said player having a meltdown and throwing the game.

Trash gets taken out so everyone else can enjoy the game without nuisances.

No one needs trolls or flamers in their game.

why if flaming and cursing swearing is a bannable offence

Punishable offense. Not bannable.

ive just been perma banned but it could of been avoided-

Had you not gone that route. You either went through 2 chat restricts before your 14-day ban or said something that warrants a jump to 14-day ban. And you were STILL toxic.

the option to restrict our own chat

/muteall

there having a bad game how can you not retaliate

We develop tricks. Taking a break is one of them.

what about ppl with anger issues that have actuall medical problems

There is no way to find out who has what.

little hitlers

Way to show your maturity faced with people with differing views to yours.

mute all only mutes all does not restrict our own chat i beleive this would help alot

and there is a way to provide proof of a condition that influences peoples behavior its called medical evidence asif riot would even look at it by the way i dont have a condition like this but i for one am a very toxic player

and i think hitler was just misunderstood just my view ;)

They don't have anything in the sign-up process or on player account info allowing you to say "I have so-and-so medical condition". It's irrelevant. On top of that - as Xidphel said - you have no way of knowing who has what issues, whether it's medically related or personal.

Fun fact: I have anger issues. Lots of them. I am always angry, all the time. But, I grew up learning how to control it and channel it in constructive ways, and I also learned how to hold myself back from letting my anger get the best of me.

Riot isn't obligated to make accommodations for people who can't or won't control themselves. You either learn to compose yourself according to the rules, or you don't play.

Holy fuck, are you serious? Sure, the holocaust was okay, HE HAD GOOD INTENTIONS!!! We just misunderstood this poor poor guy ...... What's wrong with you?

Mute all isn't the only option. it is legitimate that in the settings you can turn off all chat so you can only talk to your team. and idk if that is deactivatable too, but maybe it should be if it is not. HotS has it, you can separatedly deactivate all chat, teamchat and the chat in entirety.

You can unbind the chat or bind it to something obscure. IE (Ctrl =)

  1. Cursing and swearing is NOT a bannable offense. Riot has stated this many times.

  2. I bite my lips. I do it absentmindedly and I notice it from time to time but when I'm into it I don't notice until it's actually hurt. It's not unavoidable, it's a bad habit I've built up from lack of self control. You literally have 15 seconds in which you're consciously thinking of shit things to say to the other player. That's not unavoidable either. Hell, that's so much more avoidable.

  3. You literally just called anyone who defends Riot's decision, including me, a little Hitler. You can't even make a forum post defending yourself without shitting on the other side for disagreeing with you.

Go to anger therapy and management sessions or something. It's Riot's job to make and design a game not play counselor for you.

Sounds like you inflicted your problems on other people, taking out your bad days(plural, since you did it more than once to be banned) on your teammates. If you can't be a civil human being for whatever reason then don't log onto a game with clear rules regarding conduct.

I Know a game company called Albion Online, permabanned my 4-year-old backer account, accused me of purchasing goods with Real Money, funny story short it's indefinite, but shortly after mysteriously 2 months after launch the game company gets hit with massive credit card fraud, and DDOS attacks for an entire month straight people unable to play, even charge-backs...

Well, the funny thing is the company never listened to a 4-year backers advice, fixed the game or service before launch, or done what we told them to do until months after in which they paid the cost heavily, and I've been recruiting people to play # Black Desert Online, because it's the best MMORPG at the moment besides Crow Fall & Ashes OF Creation backed them for $1000 a piece.

So story short indefinite ban absolutely did it work out for the company absolutely not lol, The enemy of my enemy is my friend Sadly such a great game with great potential down the drain lol but story short when you manage to hit up that enemy Teemo and give them all the secrets on how to completely frack over a company or game it's amazing totally made my day.

What they should have done was refund my money, or unban my account without actual evidence GG for them boys.

Sometimes it makes no sense, but #Riot Games seems to just want people to not be toxic, and I feel Riot has been doing a great job compared to Hi Rez studios, where a person was allowed to get by with saying that the innocent who passed away getting swatted IRL Deserved it??? That shit just doesn't fly, and I am sure Riot would agree with this.

There is literally a note in game that says "A chat filter is no excuse to swear"
