The "Ban words" system should be aware of location specific meanings

I just stumbled upon this on euw server and realised that .... the system is not very clever.

basically , not every language is supported by riot games and that person is danish.

i agree that KYS is an acronym used in league of legends to ask people to kill themselves, however , it should be a contextualized ban nonetheless.

in that Very specific case

#This is what is said : [16:00] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): men jeg skal have noget guld for at få mad [17:04] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): taaak tak [17:46] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): kys kys til dig smukke [18:10] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): <3

#This is what the bot understood : [16:00] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): men [?] have [?] for at [?] mad [17:04] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): [?] [17:46] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): kys kys [?] [18:10] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): <3

#This is what google translate understood : [16:00] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): but I need some gold to get fed [17:04] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): Yeees Yes [17:46] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): kiss kiss to you beautiful [18:10] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): <3

#This is what riot will try to prove happened [16:00] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): Stop feeding r%%%%% %%%%%04] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): Fuck you [17:46] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): kys kys bitch [18:10] [All] [removed] (LeBlanc): ( è︿é)_╭∩╮

I know it is used by american (i mean English speakers in general , but more often north Americans) people as a very naughty sentence, but you're not gonna ban entire language from being spoken right

also

That's a big nono , a litteral 2 seconds google translate would have told you the opposite.

I mean , He could've lied about everything else but you CANNOT deny other languages exist and are used. this is actually xenophobic borderline racist, and quite Anglocentric.

also , i invite you to go and take a look at the original thread. , i'm not the original author, but i know there is a bigger chance riot will see it there

it's okay that the system banned him , statistically , i have no problem with that , i have problem with the fact that he remained banned anyway given the context.

Edit: So riot responded the magical "well , he had an unsportsmanlike behavior (which is quite large tbh) x games ago so he remain banned (even if h would NOT have been banned if their system was contextualized) "

and anyway ,this answer should've never popped int he first place system should be more aware of these things.

I've removed the link and player's name. While the topic is fine, pulling a player's personal logs from one area they chose to post it and turning it into a case on another area without their buy-in is a bit too close to the Name & Shame rules for my tastes. The discussion is equally valid without this information.

While what riot is doing to this poor guy is a load of bullshit, i don't really see how can a bot be able to separate english from everything that is not english in a way that would be fullproof and impossible to trick. ... without installing the whole fucking google translate in their systems

edit: Why am i even being downvoted? i literally fully agree with the op

This is like the 4th thread about this.

For fuck's sake, can people just not use KYS? I don't care what it means in Danish, what the translation is, or what he says he meant. Does anyone ACTUALLY speak like this?

kiss kiss to you beautiful

No. He used KYS knowing exactly what it meant, and should be (and has been) punished for it.

Riot does not support the Danish language in ANY region of League of Legends.

As such, it does not MATTER. I can say that my native language of Hooplah uses the "n/f" words to mean something different. That doesn't mean it's acceptable in League.

If you are using a non-supported language that conflicts with the supported languages, that's your own problem.
