Why don't we have IMMEDIATE harsher punishments for these offences? I don't see why someone can get away with a massive hate speech on something and simply get a warning. It should be escalated IMMEDIATELY to show the community there is actually ZERO tolerance to that behavior.
Daen4 votesThis kind of behavior is already treated very similarly to how you're outlining. When the systems in place see hate speech in a chat log, it gets escalated to either a 14-day or permanent suspension extremely quickly. The reason you may not be seeing it quite as fast as you'd like is that those systems are designed to have a tiny amount of leniency/time to validate before dropping a punishment that harsh on people.
Riot does everything they can to avoid false positives while still ensuring effective systems, so it's kind of a balancing act to hit the sweet spot where those two aspects meet. I just wanted to let you know that this is a serious offense and generally addressed really fast.
lolptwo1 votesThank you for the reply...however I've personally seen it go unpunished (having friends play at my house). I think it would be quite easy to implement a system instead of analyzing the log, a system that sees "x" word (that shouldn't even be used and has no place in the gaming world) get you an automatic 14 day chat restricted and hate speeches including multiple of these words strung together getting you an all out 14 day ban.
I know it's a bit of a fear mongering tactic, but I don't think anyone would ever say racist homophobic words again if they knew there was a 100% chance of them getting banned. Right now I assure you the chances of getting banned off 1 hate speech or saying 1 racist word is INCREDIBLY low. I simply think it shouldn't be, we should show zero tolerance to it
disregardable1 votesThen get 100 "disco nunu" type of replacement words that punishes players that aren't informed of the rule but does nothing to stop chronic toxicity.
Deep Terror Nami2 votesIt often does, though I don't know how consistently escalated punishments for it happen. The system doesn't escalate punishments on its own as far as I know, so requires a manual review. It's possible that when we get Tribunal voting back that will provide enough manpower to handle these.
19808248_DEL2 votesReporting someone for their words is the stupidest thing IMO. Just mute them and block them after game and problem is solved forever. Everyone is too easily offended and worried about being politically correct. If you don't want to hear it you don't have to. People apparently don't know how to use the mute/block feature.
SmokedAlmonds2 votesWhen reviews find hate speech they get escalated to 14 day bans and permanent bans. It generally takes more than 1 report to trigger a review though, that is why it isn't immediate.
lolptwo2 votesI've seen everything from ISIS threats to IRL murder threats, cancer wishes go unpunished. Most likely gave them a warning or a slight chat restriction but it should be harsher.

How do you know they go unpunished, do you add these people to your friends list and check in on them a month after the transgression?
lolptwo1 votesI check them out playing Ranked and didn't get a Feedback Report.
DJColdCutz1 votesI definitely agree, but... was there an actual vote that I missed? Or like a survey or something? Or are they just talking out of their asses with that statistic? While I'm all for punishing hate speech, I don't like rito speaking for me without ever having asked.
qetzel1 votesDo you report people when they use hate speech? That is your vote. Every time you report, the system takes a note of what you reported. The playerbase overwhelmingly reports those who use hate speech - and why report if you think the behaviour is acceptable and not worthy of a punishment?
DJColdCutz1 votesThat's not what their quote says.
qetzel1 votesNo, but I believe it is what their quote means.
Natsuki Chan1 votesI agree. I think giving a permanent ban on using the chat is the BEST punishment for these kinds of behavior.
lolptwo1 votesIn addition I think it worth noting that some of the hate speeches online have a genuine impact on people in real life. I've seen many stories on the forums here about it. So that is only furthering my push to make it harsher.
barbarianskull1 votesThere should be no tolerance at all for this kind of thing in league.
