Why no ban?

Ok so here is what happened. I was called a fa##ot, queer, and a ni##er all in 1 game yesterday by two people. Myself and 2 other people reported both of them. Normally that kind of toxicity is an instant ban whether it be temp ban or perm ban. I checked their match histories today just to see if Riot actually did anything about it and neither of them have been banned.

Why would someone like that not be banned?

If that was their first offense, it's possible that they have been chat restricted. If they continue to be toxic like that, they will be banned, don't worry!

Those are usually an instant ban though 90% of the time regardless if its a first offense. That's what bothers me.

I honestly have no knowledge of the internal workings of RIOT's ban system, i.e. what "usually" constitutes an instant ban. I really hope that person is punished too, though.

It's not a guaranteed two week suspension or permanent ban. Yes, it is possible to get someone to skip the tiers using this language, but there are still many factors that play into this. It is not a quick and clean "You said this word once, you're banned" kind of system.

However, it is possible to skip to a Two Week or Permanent suspension based on the severity of the behavior in the game. **Excessive ** negative behavior can result in a Two-Week or Permanent suspension at any time without having a chat restriction on the account. - Riot Support Page

Key word to look at is Excessive. Saying the word once does not warrant a permanent ban automatically. It can flag their account for review, but does not automatically result in suspension or permanent ban. For all we know this could be the very first time that player could have used those words. But again, neither of us has all the information to what happened. But as Elduris said in the thread, if this behavior continues they will easily move through the punishment tiers until they get banned.

For first offenses, it may take more than one game for the ban to trigger. Rest assured though, if their behavior continues, they will be banned.

2 things.

  1. Reports take time to process.
  2. It is almost never an instant ban on a first offense. Riot has made an image of being a lenient and forgiving company when it comes to rehabilitating and reforming their player base.

Don't get me wrong. Using racial or homophobic slurs is not okay. But at the same time we have to be understanding that sometimes people have bad days and misdirect their anger or vent as a way to relieve stress. Though this isn't healthy we should sympathize and try to be forgiving in hopes that this behavior doesn't continue. If it is their first offense chances are they got a msg like this http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rVoqqZNart0/UX7yL73QzpI/AAAAAAAAEEE/vRuN1FhpDso/s1600/behavioralAlert4.png
