So, about "kys"...

I've played a game on my smurf some days ago in which I reported 2 people.

One was a Ryze who just spammed "f**s" more than once, and he got punished. The other was a Miss Fortune who just started complaining about stuff (I was support) and then she answered me "kys" after I said something (that was not an insult or something toxic at all).

Well, I've just noticed that she hasn't been punished. As far as I remember, "kys" is a zero tolerance word that results in an instant punishment, yet that guy is still playing and I doubt he even got a chat restriction. So... I suppose that a single "kys" doesn't get you punished? Or maybe there's some tolerance when the player who says it has got no reports or punishments before?

You have to report for the system to pick it up. That's the caveat.

If you did, I can't explain that one.

Did they spell it weird or with a space or something? If so, it might have slipped by. I would submit a support ticket.

The system only notifies you of a player being punished if they were punished before playing another game after the one they played with you. If they are reported in another game after the one you played with them and then they get punished only the reporters in that game will receive a popup.

don't see the problem, i typed kys in a game and nothing happened, so I'm going to have to say you have to be doing crazy shit to even get chat restricted

Yeah there might be a bit of tolerance if it's uncharacteristic of said player. Who knows. Doesn't really matter anyways. Could have gotten a chat restrict, could be a typically really nice player who was tilted and took your question as passive aggressive or sarcastic, so they did an uncharacteristic thing and said kys. Then because of their clean record, Riot gave them a pass. That person might be on thin ice now if they do it again.

This has happened to me multiple times as well. People getting away with typing "kys" while I got banned for saying it before (yes I reported them)

The instant feedback system, where players are instantly banned for 14 days or permabanned for saying "zero tolerance" words, requires the words on the zero tolerance list be typed out fully, with no misspellings or ties to other characters... Twice.

That's right folks, it's a "one tolerance" rule, not zero. Once is fine, twice you're done. As long as you don't repeat another one tolerance word in your next few games, you're in the clear. For the record, kys is on the zero tolerance list, however typing "kill yourself", is not.

There are very few of these triggers left, and even the most basic obfuscation of the spelling now bypasses the system completely. Interestingly enough, you can be racist to white people all you want because there are no zero tolerance words for them. Just don't be racist to asians, blacks, or hispanics. Some of those certain words ARE zero ("one") tolerance. It has already been explained on the boards here that people aren't racist towards whites and they have privilege, therefore no zero tolerance words need to be blocked.

The more you know...

Don't be fooled by such a small sample.

It's a very punishable offense, and you can see a number of folks complaining about being banned for it right here on the front page. Unfortuntley, the system is far from perfect, and errs on the side of leniency as far as I can tell. So yes, folks will slip through occasionally. But I find that folks spamming things like "kys" will do so in more than just one game, so I'm sure that guy will be banned eventually.
