Yea i let some people who banned me out tilt me but i went straight from nothing to a 2 week ban. Not saying i shouldn't be punished but i thought at least a 1 week ban would of been the first course of action.

Usually an immediate 14-day ban is the result of hate speech, encouragements to self-harm ("kys" and similar), or truly excessive toxicity.

Did you write this in jest? KYS is bannable? How can you ban an acronym. Pls ban YMCA. This accounts already permabanned so I dont care, but jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus. The spirit of riot lyte has been passed on to you by the sounds of things.

{quoted}KYS is bannable? How can you ban an acronym.

It is bannable, because it is almost always intended to mean "kill yourself."

It means Keep your sanity.

No.

{quoted}It means Keep your sanity.

It could also mean "Keen-eyed Yellow Snake" or "Knotted Yucky String" or...etc.

But it doesn't. In the online gaming community the most common usage is "Kill Yourself", and, as such, it's prohibited. If you want to tell someone something that isn't the common definition, use specific words so there isn't confusion.

It can mean whatever you want it to mean. But all that matters is to riot and everyone else, it means "please ban me". The only legitimate excuse to use it is legitimately not knowing what it means or telling someone else not to use it, which both still get hit but it can be appealed.

... Why would it being an acronym matter at all?

Chat logs?

Did you use hate speech or tell someone to kill themselves? 'Cause that kind of behavior does merit skipping punishment tiers.

Depends what happened.

If it is for chat, first two punishments are usually chat restrictions. If it is for hate speech or encouraging self harm, then 14 day is first offense.

well the punishment system has levels

typically starts off with 10 game chat restriction, 25 game chat restriction, 14 day ban , permaban

you can skip levels based on what was done. typically hate speech, racist, homophobic slurs, telling people they should harm/kill themselves are all zero tolerance and typically jump right to a 14 day ban

Punishment order goes like this:

  • 10-game Chat Restriction
  • 25-game Chat Restriction
  • 2-week Suspension
  • Permanent Ban

However, certain actions can send you straight to a 2-week Suspension. Homophobic slurs, Racial Slur, and telling someone to kill themselves are the most common ways that people make that jump.

Just so you realize (since many people do not), the next punishment WILL be a permanent suspension. No matter how minor of an action it might be.

So be very careful from here on in. (A lot of people just /muteall at this stage, to prevent themselves from saying anything they shouldn't. But that's ultimately up to you.)

Did Riot give you chat logs? Or did they specify another reason for the two week?

It might depend; if you skip tiers for a major punishment such as griefing but get something that would have been a lesser punishment such as minor chat offense, i think you still get the chat restriction.

chat logs. otherwise most of us will assume it was hate speech or zero-tolerance which is an instant 14-day
