An Idea for repeat griefers, trolls, negative behaviour. (prisoner island but more ideal for riot)

I have spent along time trying to talk down hot headed teammates that want to offer negative personal information about other players preformance rather then trying to be positive and help them understand what they can do to help the team win. one attitude effects four other players and thats not very fair.

i mean i understand sometimes a games just not working and it seems impossible to comeback but getting on eachothers nerves has to stop. i feel that good intention players like myself and others i know shouldn't have to deal with repeat offenders of the negative variety. I propose a test based on Leauge of Legends Summoner Code!

For people who have gotten reported a few too many times and are a constant pain to play with or just so hard headed and ignorant that they offer no souloution to win but rather tell the players on your team (one of my favourites...) Kill Yourself. I am sure many people of Leauge feel this way toward this sort of thing. i am honestly tired of it and i wish Leauge could just banish all trolls but that is indeed impossible, However if we used a test that appears after a negative nelly gets a few too many reports based off the Summoners Code to teach them what is the appropriate way to play leauge. Once completed they have agreed that this is how you should behave therefore stopping people from feeling the need to get on eachothers nerves, but as a double whammy repeat offenders who have taken said test and chose to be negative anyways are now open to a more serious punishment from riot. be it longer que times or low priority, perma fill, banishment or any other creative ideas riot has for that sort of thing.

I believe that if this idea of mine existed in game player quality could go up. Truthfully as the player you can make you quality towards others better but sometimes people need a kick in the right direction and i believe that this is a brighter Leauge i could see myself getting behind. i am all for players just being supportive but i also notice that some of these player that act so negativly are smurfs. playing on other accounts to bully low tier players for amusement i have to assume. if i had a call on smurf accounts it would be insta-bans for the negative smurfs. its okay to practice. It is not okay to troll.

A message from a man stuck on a silver rock thanks to all the.. wonderful player in leauge. -AbyssKingDark.

Tell me what you think i want responses and insight, i would also like to see if we can get offical word back from riot.

It's hard to pick out what your actual idea is in all that.

Summarize and separate your points. Because what I see right now is a uniform wall of text.

i do realize this but if one were to actually read the text with enthusiam it might make more sense then just a wall of a text.

Didn't vote in the poll due to the fact there is no option that reflects my opinion of this idea.

Seems you think no one could possibly think this is a bad idea.

He already posted before you that he accidently hit enter before he could put the bad idea option. Please read before making assumptions about others or might I assume you are one who belongs on this 'Prisoner Island'.

What you stated is not relevant to what I said.

I can picture you in the 1400's though. Cheering during the weekly hangings. Not knowing you were next.

People learn the least from punishment. So making people take a test because other people wish to punish them will result in more issues, not less. All you are doing is creating a mechanism which normalizes both the bad behavior and the punishment of that behavior.

Just like spanking a child and telling it what it did wrong is not a good way to teach a child. Or rubbing your dogs nose in its shit and telling it 'bad dog' isn't a good way to teach it.

Punishment is abusive. Period. Abusive behavior results in abusive behavior.

Even if you punish people with a grin on your face, the best intentions, and the softest possible voice, it is still abusive. People do not learn from it very well.

What people learn from is positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement also creates a dopamine response in the human brain, and makes appropriate reactions addictive.

In other words, by rewarding people for acting GOOD, instead of punishing them when they act BAD, you normalize good behavior instead of bad behavior.

I'm repeating this a lot here lately because I see a lot of idiots who think its okay to punish people... when the past few hundreds of years of psychology say differently. Hell, even the ancient Greeks wrote about it, but now we KNOW for certain through studies and testing.

If you want people to act with good behavior, you have to reward it.

You don't even have to look very far back into this game to see when the toxicity was less. Prior to the original tribunal it was actually fairly rare to see someone being 100% toxic in a game....

Now its like... every other game in normals I see someone acting in a 'toxic' way. Be it on my team or the enemy team. We have, in fact, normalized bad behavior.

well i do see your points and it is true what you are saying however giving super rewards to good players doesnt real solve the issues of in game play. people will be negative due to the apathy because of the disconnection of being in front of a screen feeling like they can act a certain way they do not normally act. what you said does apply to the real world but i do not think it applies to the virtual one as it is and always will be a seperate plane of existance. if people were all decent and not trying to control one another this issue and many like it wouldn't exist. all this idea allows is riot to be more influencial in how they want thier game to be played.

I personally have the feeling that having them go through a "school test", would make them more likely to feed. Furthermore, every inter and flamer knows what they are doing is wrong, a test won't make that stop.

AbyssKingDark1 votes

its more or less an agreement that they make by completeing the test. they say yes by completeing allowing riot the power to do something more without feeling like they are abusing or pushing players away.
