I just saw the post where I saw someone got escalated to a permaban for what would have gotten another player a 10 chat ban. "It was a light penalty escalated to perma-ban because of your huge penalty history (6 different penalties)."

Does this mean that his account was punished 6 times, and then got the permanent ban, or that he had 6 previous (long time ago) punishments and then got perma banned. I'm a little confused on this wording. Anyone know? Its actually a really scarry thought thinking that you could go from "reformed" to banned for something like that.

if you don't know the punishment ladder, it goes as follows:

10 game chat restrict
25 game chat restrict
14-day ban
Permaban

Every time you get punished, you move up the ladder. It is possible a drop a tier by playing lots of games. It is possible to skip punishment tiers through extreme toxicity (typically hate speech).

So in his case, he had 6 previous punishments, which means that he was going up and down the ladder (probably gaming it), and got punished again while he was on 14-day ban, which got him permaed.

Technically, if you reform you are "clean". That's the motto of Riot. I'm assuming that specific player did not reform at all. Just kept on stacking punishments.

I mean they deserve it, if you do something in real life and reform then slip up, a judge or punishing system isn't going to say "well you did reform, so let's go easy on you for doing what you were know to do in the past." What is that kind of mentality, I'm not saying the OP is actually saying that but there does seem to be implication through the fear that someone can go from ground level to that high up the ladder in one mistake. But what needs to be remembered is the several mistakes before that. I'm glad it's that way, don't mess up, that simple.

That case was a special case from my understanding, since they had 6 prior punishments and still didn't reform. If you reform and keep on showing consistent neutral or positive behavior then you should never be at risk of being permabanned if you act up once or twice (extreme instances of negative behavior aside).
