How exactly does the correction system in LoL work?

The reason I ask this is because about 6 months ago I received a two week ban for flaming the ever-living shit out of someone for running it down. Not saying I didn't deserve it. Yes, I had every right to be angry, but I blew things way out of proportion. Anyway, I've been paranoid ever since. I'm constantly thinking to myself, "What if I snap once more, and my account gets perma banned as a result?" Now, from what I've read, every account has a hidden "reputation score" or something like that, and that if I keep playing without receiving any sort of penalty, my score will gradually go up until eventually it'll be back to where it was before. Question is though, is this actually true? Overall, I'm not worried about getting permanently banned. Hell, it took 4 1/2 years for me to receive my first ever penalty, so overall I'm pretty good at managing my temper. Regardless though, I couldn't help but wonder.

It's true, but there's no reason to risk it. Sounds like you're one of the few people who took that 2-week suspension seriously and you've made efforts to reform in the last 6 months. Well done, and continue whatever you're doing.

It is true.

I will tell you out of experience by building (I'd like to believe, but this is just street talk) more complex systems to detect roughly the same behaviors as Riot is trying to, or better yet tagging systems, we basically look for behaviors to tag people of risk.

Once that happens you are as good as gone. The system will always, always prioritize watching you and being harsher with you than with others because, frankly, for 90%+ of the cases, it's right. Offenders almost exclusively repeat their behaviors just as non-offenders repeat their behaviors, just like...humans repeat their behaviors! For example, our algorithms are used for fraud prevention in high-frequency transactions and once a vendor has been flagged, although the system allocates plenty resources for each vendor, it will allocate more resources to perform more in-depth checks on a vendor we deemed shady. What are the things that make someone [insert thing that you want to look for here]?

Plenty. I think League is a pretty one-dimensional thing with the chat, though, but, regardless, the current state of society has decided that swearing and what-not is punishable. Is it absolutely correct? No. Or yes. A society builds its rules based on what it needs at that current time but there is always one constant: people never change their habits because, really, they define their persona. People who implement systems for prediction / tagging / flagging know this very well and it's more or less a basic thing.

I've never seen flagging systems that don't open the eyes even more on these who they deem shady.

In short: you're on thin ice, for sure, don't risk it. Riot would probably claim that this is not the case and I can't say it is or it isn't nor am I trying to discredit them at all but there's no way they don't do it like this.
