Don't be the person who asks everyone to report someone.

Please don't be this person. Reporting someone multiple times in the same game does not do anything more than just one. A report will flag it to be looked at by the system, it doesn't do anything to try to flag it more.

In some cases if you are excessively mean about it, asking to report someone in itself is reportable. Just rep after the game and chill.

He said "trust me". It's pretty much guaranteed he knows when he's talking about.

Jokes aside, I mentioned this (that that report lobbying is punishable) to someone in ARAM last night, and apparently that makes me Phreak.

Well if someone's been leaving death threats to people and spamming racial slurs, and some other dude says that he won't report just because the toxic guy had a good KDA it tends to bother me. And it happens more than it should. That's the only time where I think that it's helpful to ask for reports, not because multiple reports actually do more than 1 report in terms of punishment but that the community should realize that having a good KDA doesn't excuse shitty behavior.

You can't force people to change what they think.

You're not forcing them, you're educating them and showing them why it's not okay to be toxic no matter what kda they get.

But you're still reporting em... it's still the same. You join the chat war by asking for reports. It's considered provoking and negative. Nothing positive can come from all chatting "report x player" because 1 report is the same as 9 in one match. So even if you get others to report that person, it's still not a positive addition to the chat because you were already reporting em. The only possible outcome is more flaming, or that person starts "defending" him/herself, taking focus away from the game even more... or that person ignores it.. so what do you accomplish?

Trying to educate the other nontoxic players into knowing that you shouldn't not report a toxic player just because he's carrying and that toxic behaviors should be held to the same standard whether it's by someone with Faker skills or a level 1 noob.

It's a pet peeve of mine when players who aren't being toxic themselves try to excuse others toxic behaviors just because they're carrying.

Well some people don't believe toxicity should be punished at all. In game is not the time to "educate" people on their opinions.

That's what post game chat is for.

Lol ya that's true... I'm just talking in game. Like those people who all chat "report x player, flaming whole team".. I'm not even on your team how could I know who's being toxic over there in your ally chat? Lol that's the kind of calling for reports that I don't like. I hear you that you want others to report, but I just disagree I guess. Really no good reason to ever ask someone to report someone. Agree to disagree lol.

Asking for reports works. You have 9 chances of someone getting reported instead of just 1.

Bogus reports are also counted when you hit the magical number for a punishment. Even if the report turns out to be bogus, no one takes it back or stops counting it if that's the lucky report to get the punishment.

You do know we have information about how the system works, don't you? You know you could research this yourself and find out you are wrong? Just google it bro, it's not that hard.

it's pointless, logically they can't possibly know enough about most situations to report anyone for anything other than AFK.

....of course, most of these games are an inside job

Just stop reporting people who dont deserve it. Maybe only report people who afk from games THAT ARE NOT WINNABLE (I HAVE LOST 3 INHIBS OUR TEAM 0-40 AND MY TEAM SAYING REPORT ME FOR AFKING?!?!!). Also, unless they spam the chat with harassment, im talking at least 25 lines of that shit. Then do you report them. nothing more nothing less, learn when to report braindead community. Also int feeds need banned too ;)

Not going to lie, when someone tells me to "kill myself" and "I hope you die in a car accident or get cancer" it's very hard for me to be reasonable and think "this only really needs 1 report to be flagged...!"
