Is this forum to help riot or just for people to troll real concerns

I understand a lot of people that get their accounts banned come here frustrated to vent but if you read the replies they are just as toxic as the people that get banned! Then they tell you extreme cases like well how can we go back and time and fix this what do you want us to do about it, we all know that's impossible so why did you say that. it already happened and it will always happen nothing we can do about it, that's the mentality of this board, you just get attacked by "volunteers" that could use their time better actually patrolling games and doing something instead of degrading you on here and telling you that you most likely deserve the ban. No one wants to discuss what we should do to improve anything like adults. anything you say here is miss interpreted and used against you, you can't say hey i'm an older player that works for a living and buys all my stuff i don't feel it's fair when some kid's parents are buying them everything and then we are expected to act at the same maturity level after so many games of being told to go kill yourself it doesn't matter how polite you are eventually you get a little upset and riot uses a blanket rule verbal abuse doesn't solve verbal abuse and that's true but as to why verbal abuse is so rampant as compared to other games makes you wonder what are they doing wrong.

Well, to address this point -- first and foremost we can't patrol games, as we have no power to do that, short of the power everyone has when they play League.

As to the second half, yes, many of us do frequent PB, and one of the most common things is people asking "why was I banned?" In this case we do try to help them understand what in their behavior was problematic, but we also occasionally guide them towards Player Support in borderline cases, or offer tips on avoiding toxicity in the future (for those who aren't perma-banned).

No one wants to discuss what we should do to improve anything like adults.

I'd love to and frequently do, when the OP is amenable to this. Too many times I see "I was banned, this is bullshit" rather than "I was banned, which means I either don't understand how to avoid toxicity, or don't understand what the community considers toxicity. Help me out?" The latter is FAR better, but also far rarer.

you can't say hey i'm an older player that works for a living and buys all my stuff i don't feel it's fair when some kid's parents are buying them everything and then we are expected to act at the same maturity level after so many games of being told to go kill yourself it doesn't matter how polite you are eventually you get a little upset and riot uses a blanket rule verbal abuse doesn't solve verbal abuse and that's true but as to why verbal abuse is so rampant as compared to other games makes you wonder what are they doing wrong.

You can totally say that. But it's a bit undermined by the fact that there are many players subject to the same behavior who don't exhibit toxic behavior with a common enough frequency (or intense enough behavior) to earn a punishment, despite running into as many toxic players as another individual who did snap and get punished. It's about controlling your frustration, or at least the way you exhibit your frustration.

to get helped u need to give info. a big part of ban threads lack fundamental infos, like reason of ban, what previous bans were given and in case of toxicity , chatlog. biggest part of ban threads are about "perma after 14d ban but i was not that toxic". so the ones who post those threads didnt read ToS, didnt care to read the 14d ban message and still they acted like they can flame chat 24/7. overall a big part of permabanned deserve their ban.

contest doesnt count, and big part of banned players dont understand this. retaliation can lead to ban. and they dont get it. parroting is dangerous. using certain words can lead to 14d instantly, and they stiull use them. most important thing: board is not support.

SADLY, trolls ahave easier life.

so basically, if u got permabanned, u deserved 99% of times. there are rules u agreed, u follow them or get punished. there are reports to punish bad behaviour.

now, repeat this 10-20 times a day for months, to players who didnteven care to read previously the board or the rulesets. at a certain point u lose patience and start stating the obvious truth. it hurts. but it s not toxic.

"i got banned huehue" "u deserved it"

deal with it.

if u want to discuss about trolls, afkers, inters and whatever, im all ears, but u need to be very professional and detailed in your thread. writing "riot fix trolls" is 6y.o. material.

No one is flaming you. But your ideas are unreasonable.

its cause most the people that get banned on here have "kys" in their chat logs and it gets funnier every time i see them post something
