I'm afraid.

Alright, I'll try to explain the situation: I just got back from a 14 days ban and came over boards to scout the situation before going back to play. Since this is my last warning I want to be sure to not screw everything up and lose my 5 years old acc. Never been a toxic player tho, and that's why i'm afraid. The last game i played, that made me skip any chat restriction, i literally said ONE wrong word in the whole game (not the k1y1s one).

From what i see the automated ban system went on a literal RAMPAGE lately and it's pretty much terrorizing, mobbing everybody, delivering 14d and permabans also without a reason. People are getting bans just for writing regular words in chat without the slightest toxicity.

How should i deal with that? Completely erasing any kind of written communication from the game? TRrying to find a way to disable my own chat like some people did? I'm seriously so afraid i might stop playing completely just to not risk to lose the account.

The system is not going on a rampage at all, and the number of undeserved bans recently has been 0. There were a couple cases about a month ago, but those were quickly reversed.

If you want advice on your specific situation, please post your chat logs. Otherwise, the best advice I can give is simply don't be a jerk to others. I chat in every game and have yet to get so much as a chat restriction.

I dunno man, getting a final warning for a single F word makes me think something's off with the automated system and since i'm not the only case, the suspicion is doubled. In 5 years i never received any kind of penalty or warning, was Honor 5 and for a F word all this? I mean, for what's preseason's worth i can well wait to see if it's just me or something else

You didn't get banned for saying fuck, you got banned for a homophobic slur. Just... don't use that shit. It's not hard.

And that shit doesn't just slip out. If you're honestly afraid that you'll accidentally use HATE SPEECH in a VIDEO GAME, you need to take a look in the damn mirror and figure out WHY that is.

They vote the Don, then they paternalize people for a so called "hate speech". What a great time to live in.

I have no idea what Donald Trump has to do with my speaking to you or with Riot's policies. Don't fucking use hate speech. SUPER simple.

It's almost as if America isn't a single group of people.

If that F word was hate speech, then yes, you got a final warning for it. You shouldn't have needed a warning.

  1. don't use hate speech
  2. don't flame
  3. if you feel the need to retaliate i'd say kill them with kindness, it's amusing as all hell
  4. you can always mute all

I doubt that you've never been a toxic player if you're on your last warning... (How does that add up?) Hasn't happened to me or anyone I know and I tend to joke around a bit in-game.

*Oh and I drop F bombs and SH bombs and indirect SOB bombs. Still have yet to be banned. It's all context. Play nice and don't be a D. They added a language filter (optional)<--- for a reason. Freedom of speech. You may use your words, RESPONSIBLY.
