Neither of these two lines stand out to you as over the line?

thats just how i talk man, i mean freedom of speech?

HIV laced knife1 votes

and what they dont show is that the enemy draven was talking the same way towards me, as he was a friend of mine

somebody else flaming first or flaming worse than you does not mean it's ok for you to flame too

Others' actions do not excuse your actions; you're also playing with others that aren't your friend and have to read what you wrote.

freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequences

Not freedom of speech. Freedom of speech means the government can't persecute you for your speech.

Riot is a private company, they own the game and the servers. You have no freedom of speech. You drop hate speech, you get banned. Those are the rules.

Go into a bar and drop that racial or homophobic slur that you used and see how fast you get your ass bounced out of that private establishment.

*with limitations. Even the government CAN persecute you for your speech under certain conditions (well known example includes yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theater as a prank).

There are cases where the government prosecuted people for encouraging self-harm in real life. Cyber bully is a punishable offense in certain States in the US. Death threats are certainly going to get you arrested in real life. Freedom of speech is not as unlimited as people seem to think, even when dealing with the government.

thats just how i talk man...

Even in public? D'you go around restaurants and grocery stores telling people to kill themselves, throwing around hate speech?

'Cause, if that's how you talk, then I'm going to tell you flat-out; find a better way to talk.

...i mean freedom of speech?

As others have said, freedom of speech does not apply here. Riot isn't a government body, so your right to free speech isn't being infringed upon. You're still fully allowed to speak freely, but the 14-day ban is Riot expressing their freedom to apply repercussions for your use of hate speech and encouraging self-harm in their private space.

Here's a snippet from the Terms of Use, Code of Conduct - AKA, the rules that you agreed to follow, and which Riot can enforce at their discretion;

The following are examples of behavior that warrant disciplinary measures:

v. Transmitting or communicating any content which, in the sole and exclusive discretion of Riot Games, is deemed offensive, including language that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, or racially, ethically, or otherwise objectionable;

I italicized the parts that I think apply most here.

Hate speech, of course, is harmful, abusive, and objectionable, and encouraging self-harm I'm 90% sure is unlawful pretty much everywhere, and harmful and abusive in no short capacity.

You're certainly free to say whatever you want, but if what you say breaks the rules, Riot is absolutely free to punish you as they see fit. Bear that in mind next time you try to bandy about freedom of speech.

and what they dont show is that the enemy draven was talking the same way towards me, as he was a friend of mine

Other people's misbehavior does not absolve you of your own, and it doesn't matter if they were a friend or not. You broke the rules, someone reported you, you got punished. Them's the 8r8ks.

no, i wont greet the bus driver with a happy kys, ofcourse not. I will however joke with my friends, and the person i was talking to in that game happend to be a friend.

Voldymort2 votes

well the other 3 weren't. if you want to joke with your friends, use discord or something

Umbral Regent1 votes

And how many people on your team in that match weren't your friend?

You don't get a free pass to break the rules just because you have one friend in the mix.

How exactly is the government restricting what you say? (write)?

They aren't? It's a private company that's excluding you from their gaming community? No freedom of speech involved in any way, shape or form.

Buddy, dont try to argue with terms you do not understand.

Freedom of speech is a political right.

This is a private game.

You dont have the ability to claim the above. Thanks.

Riot has a zero tolerance policy for hate speech and encouraging suicide. Encoraging suicide is what you did with the "kys" phrase. The system automatically gives you a 14 day suspension when it detects you violate that policy

stating facts instead of patting flamers on the back?

who are you and what have you done to the owner of that account???

HIV laced knife1 votes

well, thats just lame. never been banned before but i see now how people can get multyple accounts banned. no need to be toxic just type in ur own way and u might get banned. im gonna have to think how to right something down from now on i guess.

Voldymort2 votes

no need to be toxic

i'm sorry but you were toxic, my dude

HIV laced knife1 votes

?lol nothing happend yet it was min 1 draven recognised me and said some shit, i typed back.

Voldymort1 votes

[zombie-nunu-bummed]

again

somebody else being toxic "first" does not make it ok for you to be toxic too

HIV laced knife1 votes

[zombie-brand-mindblown] completly missing the point

Voldymort2 votes

the point is that you were banned for being toxic wether you choose to be in denial about it or not. i suggest you read the notification that came with the log so that you don't mess up again when your ban ends because the next time you are toxic in any sort of ammount, regardless what you label as "minimal"will be enough for the account to be gone.

why are u on this forum anyway? u dont seem to be to passionate about the game

Ad hominems and red herrings are not a thing i'm fond of. I'm not the focus of the post. You are. I suggest you stay on track!

they're also a sign that we may yet see you again in 2 weeks with another post. i hope you can prove me wrong. for your own good.

I think that's the problem; Riot doesn't express in their ToS that they even have a zero tolerance policy.

Just don't use hate speech or encourage self harm and you're fine from the portion of the automated system that detects those things

Voldymort3 votes

actually they do say that the summoners aren't allowed to use hate speech and the like. i suggest you read it again top to bottom

HIV laced knife1 votes

well, i would have liked at least a warning when i started typing, or just sensor it lol. or a warning at the end of the game i mean idk that this is bannable

Voldymort2 votes

did you read the ToS when you first installed the game or just blindly click on "i agree"?

HIV laced knife2 votes

what do tou think hahahahaah?

They don't say it's a 14 day ban. Some players assume chat restrictions are the only punishment for chat related offenses(when through a first or second punishment)

irrelevant

what people assume due to their own ignorance is their fault and theirs alone

Ignorance implies there was knowledge or information about the subject in question in the first place, but there isn't. Riot does not inform players that certain words or phrases are punished with 14 day bans

Voldymort2 votes

Given that the vast majority of the player base doesn't come on the boards to bitch about punishments, I don't know why riot should. I mean... I knew not to talk like that even before I started stalking these boards. It seemed obvious. But maybe that's just how I was raised...

Koiyaki1 votes

I mean, noone informs u of what words u shouldnt say at say a daycare.

Someone walking in saying 'Good thing i have my gun with me today' cant really claim ignorance when security ejects/searches/questions them

There comes a point where common sense needs to come into play o.o

HIV laced knife1 votes

i have never even had a chat restriction lol

Umbral Regent7 votes

You don't get a chat restriction for hate speech and encouraging self-harm. You should know better than to say either of those things, and Riot expects as much - hence escalating the punishment to a 14-day ban from the gate.

got suspended for 14 days, but dont know why...

that will do it...

HIV laced knife1 votes

HIV laced knife1 votes

Voldymort2 votes

that's a little bit more than swearing

suicide is no joking matter and neither is whatever word is censored

HIV laced knife1 votes

Is this a joke? Like, are you actually being sarcastic? You can't possibly be serious about not knowing why you're banned.

Looks like you're pretty toxic to me. I wouldn't want to play with you so I am glad you're banned.
