Punishments for racism, cancer, suicide, and inappropriate summoner names?

Ramen226··4 votes·1,344 views

Do people actually get punished for saying that i should get cancer? Or when they're describing what they want to do to do to Black people, Mexicans, etc? What about describing in explicit detail how i should kill myself? Or when they have a tag that is either sexual or has swear words in it?

I couldn't care less about what their names are. I just want to know if riot actually enforces the rules or if they want to let these guys play because it boosts their player number and increases profits.

But i do give a shit when someone tells me to kill myself or when there is ACTUAL racism in chat. Fuck you if you think that being able to mute them solves the problem because that's the first thing that he typed. Yeah I muted him immediately after but the knowledge that this guy is still probably talking spewing garbage is ridiculous. I see people posting on the boards complaining about when people mute all at the beginning of the game but tell me why i should have any reason to continue reading this crap every other game.

If I had a dollar every time someone told me to kill myself in-game then i'd have enough money to buy the rights to League of Legends and implement a system that would do its job at banning people that use this kind of hate speech.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say

doesn't ban anyone

There's plenty of evidence on the boards to counter this claim.

Naming summoners on the boards does not assist meting out punishments.

I have played for 2 years and have never had an instant feedback message letting me know a player has been punished. Unless your argument is that I've only ever been the first person to report them than you can go fuck yourself because the system does NOT work.

Telling someone to kill themselves should get a warning the first time via a message and a perma ban the next. I can't even say once a season is fine because how many times should you be allowed to tell someone to KILL THEMSELVES before "enough is enough."

I was replying to KMLNGYN.

I didn't disagree with what you had posted. I will point you back to what I had said: the boards have numerous examples of people complaining about punishments they had received.

Pretty sure they change their names to something like tempname12345 so that they have to save up 14000 IP/spend RP to fix it.

Riot is pretty heavy-handed when they punish players for racism/sexism/threats etc. Players usually get a first-and-last warning along with a 14-day suspension.

They can have the temporary name changed by contacting Player Support.

Well that's just dumb. So there's actually no punishment when someone calls them self 'IBashQueers96' knowing full-well that it's against ToS? They just get a free name change? I spent 30k IP just to troll my friend by taking his old name for a couple of weeks after he changed it.

OH COME ON. I tell people to "kys" all the time. No one says it seriously. Riot however does ban alot of people. I know because I have gotten over 5 of the popups telling me my report led to a punishment.

Then you're just a shitty person I guess. How shitty do you have to be where you think "kill yourself" is an acceptable thing to say to another human being.

You're just an over sensitive pushover.

Clearly. My apologies that i think people shouldn't use terms such as "kill yourself" as a common insult to be taken lightly. Besides where the fuck are you getting "pushover" from? The fuck you want me to do when someone says dumb shit like that?

Your only 2 responses are "get over it" or "report them" Get over it- that IS being a pushover letting them do whatever and just doing nothing about it. Especially when it could lead to serious harm (inb4: "internet is rough place so i should be allowed to be a %%%% as much as a i want"argument) Report them- thats what im discussing. What's the punishment for it and how seriously does riot take it.

I reiterate, how fucked up do you have to be where you think, "kill yourself" is an acceptable thing to say to another human being.

I have reported such people and I have received notifications about them being banned. The way it works is that you have to be the last one to report. Say you and someone else on your team reported a player, I'd their report went in after yours they get the motivation. That's how I think it works.

Also, if someone's exceptionally toxic, I take a screen shot and send it to riot support who manually look into the player.
