I got a 14 day ban for cursing twice in a normal

This whole event in general has made me really upset. Ill just post the complaint I sent to riot because I don't have the energy for this. Let me make this clear, I have never received a chat restriction before. The fact that my penalty skipped from 2 levels of chat restrictions to a ban for a single game is absolutely absurd.

Here is the chat log Game 1 letswinthisteam: glhf letswinthisteam: :D letswinthisteam: no comment letswinthisteam: lol letswinthisteam: lol letswinthisteam: were gunna win anyways letswinthisteam: 100% letswinthisteam: nice letswinthisteam: ez letswinthisteam: fajk letswinthisteam: no ult letswinthisteam: nice letswinthisteam: XD letswinthisteam: nice letswinthisteam: lol letswinthisteam: wp morda letswinthisteam: IBELIEVE GAREN letswinthisteam: ? letswinthisteam: xd letswinthisteam: thats broken letswinthisteam: ... letswinthisteam: lol wow letswinthisteam: wo %%%%%% %%%got letswinthisteam: wp i mean letswinthisteam: NICE letswinthisteam: nj morde letswinthisteam: we got this team letswinthisteam: ez pz letswinthisteam: that sos broken letswinthisteam: carry me morde letswinthisteam: PLEEEEEEEEEASE letswinthisteam: ???????????? letswinthisteam: jk <3 letswinthisteam: nice letswinthisteam: help letswinthisteam: il be up in a bit letswinthisteam: we got this letswinthisteam: belive pls letswinthisteam: ? letswinthisteam: kys letswinthisteam: %%%s

Here is my message to riot: Starting a week ago, I stopped playing ranked in lol because I started to encounter intentional feeders and toxic players in my games. I realized that ranked made me very stressed so I started to play more normals and it has made me much more relaxed. I do not understand why I recieved a 14 day ban; my account states that I was banned because of toxic behavior in a normal I played. Keep in mind I have never recieved any chat restrictions before so I must have been acting severly disruptive in this one particular game to skip all the way to a 14 day ban. The game I played had me playing cassiopiea as an adc, building attack speed and attack damage items. It is uncomventional, but I was actually trying throughout the game to hit as many minions as possible, help my team out if they needed me, and I was not intentionally feeding; I was trying to lead the team to a win. Looking at the chat log my client showed me as a reason for my ban, my communication was benign except for a few parts. The majority of the chat is me saying 'lol' if I died to a silly mistake in lane, 'nice' if someone on the team got a kill, and sentences of encouragement saying we can win this game; I was positive to my teammates. The only annoying thing I did to my teammates was ping the death times on my teammates who were dead while I was dead; I did it because I thought it was funny and I didnt do it all the time when possible. To my oponents; I said glhf at the beginning of the game. I typed in '?' at one point when one of the opponents died and I typed in '???????????' at one point when another opponent died but even then I typed into all chat right after 'jk <3' . There were two instances in the game where you can saybis wrong: the first instance was where I said 'wo %%%%%% %%%got' to an opponent and right after 'wp i mean' (since i mistyped) because they outplayed me and killed me. This was obviosly wrong to say because it was racist. The second bad thing I did was type to the opponents saying 'kys %%%s', something I typed at the very last seconds the nexus exploded where I doubt they couldve read it. If the enemy team reported me, I dont understand why because they were monstrously ahead in gold the whole game, every lane on my team were losing very hard and we had no advantages. In conclusion, I dont understand why Im banned because I was in a normal game, I was being positive throughout to my teammates, I was trying throughout and not trolling. The 2 things I said was bad but it doesnt justify me getting banned since I was good for the rest of the game. I have had this account ofor years, I have many champions, many rune pages exc. and I dont want to get the possibility of maybe being permabanned. I have almost never been reported throughout the time I have had my account, and as a person who tries to be positive every single game whther Im winning or losing all I have to say is shame on you. You guys are bullies by trying to ban my account for no good reason and threatning with a permaban, there are people who are SUPER negative and intentionally feeding in ranked and nothing happens to them yet if I slip up with 2 insults to an enemy team who is winning VERY VERY hard I deserve to get banned. Please reconsider my punishment, Ill be sure to not insult the enemy team like that again, thank you.

Sorry for the many spelling errors :(.

Yes. You got a 14-day ban for cursing twice in a normal game. The system is working exactly as intended in this situation. There is a zero-tolerance for hate speech and death threats.

ASSUMING that this game is representative of your behavior, literally all you have to do is not do those 3 lines, and instead continue what the rest of your chat logs were, which were admittedly positive.

Of course, I would review the other games in the file just to be sure if I were you.

This appears to be the only chat log on file. Ill just be positive like how i was talking for the rest of the game like you said. I didnt think cursing was that big a deal, Ill be much more careful in the future :).

Cursing in general isn't, but what you said was above and beyond normal cursing.

anything that gets changed to %%%%% is generally means to get banned. No racial/sexual slurs allowed. Zero Tolerance.

Why is there "in a normal" in thread name? Does that make it any less toxic? Does hate speech mean less if said in normal game?

letswinthisteam1 votes

Sorry if Im trying to excuse the toxic stuff I wrote by saying 'in a normal'. My apologies for making it sound like that. In ranked there is a lot more pressure to do well and toxic language can absolutely tilt a teammate or opponent so it means more if your toxic in a ranked game. In a normal, there is less pressure to win so you cant exactly tilt super hard from some1 being toxic. Im not excusing toxic behavior in normals, im simply explaining the reasoning. Im a very positive person in general this game was uncharicteristic of my behavior. I mean, my name is 'letswinthisteam' and im a support main in ranked, if thats not positive I dont know what is xd.

Isn't that... backwards? If it's less pressure, there should be less reason to be toxic, not less reason to report someone for being toxic.

wow that was a well written sentence there, but you didn't deserve that 14 days suspension or perma ban.I have a friend that is beyond toxic (if you played god of war then you now what i mean) and mostly get like chat bans or 14 days. but i never feel ashame behind all that negativity he's one great of a player actually a beast...I didn't see what's wrong with your chat history only the 2nd to last you typed ''kys''.I bet riot co-workers must had have a hard time in high school and couldn't dealt with they ''Bully(ies)'' problems, no wonder their just decided to drop a atomic bomb on our asses just to intimidate us lol mb ... i hope you get back your account and your right about one thing though rank have alot of int.feeders and it's really annoying.

Thanks for understanding man :). A lot of people here are saying there is no tolerance for hate speech, and yes the fact that I said 'kys' at the very end of the game is a very terrible thing to say. However, Im the type of person to say glhf at the start of every single game in all chat, and through it all I have gotten responses where i say glhf and I get a response like 'kys'; I just shrug it off and say 'xd' in response. And guess what, these people didnt say anything mean for the rest of the match in all chat and even said polite things. Did I immediatly report them after the game? No, because I dont care.

Just to make it clear, IT IS COMPLETLY JUSTIFIABLE TO HAVE ME PUNISHED FOR CURSING IN THIS PARTICULAR GAME. A chat restriction seems completly fine because of this game, but getting a 14 day ban seems like a bit of a strech. I dont want to have to go into game after my ban and report people for cursing once or twice. In my reasoning, I will only report some1 if they intentionally feed or they are repetitively toxic, like say (for example) the enemy yasuo kills me 5 times in lane and after each death types in 'kys' in chat.

So you know it's wrong but still did it anyway? That doesn't make any sense. Just because you are ok with talking like that doesn't mean everyone else is ok with it. Obviously someone didn't like it and reported you.

dude, as you wanna be good samaritans always say in league (I wanted to use the word Id**s)"just chill",it's "kys" not to say that word is a racial or sexist slur. the guy admitted his guilt and want to make amends for it. I don't know what world or system your you live in( I control my own will and not be controlled by what others want me to do), but where I from it's either you keep silence or tilted the player(s) that says offensive words towards you and then report.what I understand is once players are negative it's that simple just be a positive player say a few good words and there you have the culprit for an exclusive report that actually kept on being negative as an result the 3rd faction will understand that you have been harass (long sentence reduce) you got a/an overall report on that person(s).hope this benefits you on future progress. have a great day

Here's the thing; you can be good and positive throughout 90% of a match, with the 10% being those two remarks that very clearly deserved a censor, and you'll still get banned, because "Zero Tolerance" means Zero Tolerance. That 10% is not tolerated, period.

And "being good" for all the rest of the match does not excuse you from punishment; neither does the match mode (Normal, Co-op Vs. AI, ARAM, whatever have you), nor the fact that the enemy was winning very, very hard.

While light smack-talk is allowed, belligerent hate speech is not. If you don't want to get permabanned, take this fortnight ban as a lesson to never use those words again, regardless of context.

Also; just because you said it just before the Nexus exploded so the enemy wouldn't see it doesn't mean you never said it. You said it, and as such counts against your character for the sake of reports.

You are clearly not very educated on the subject.

It's actually quite scary you can't see why you're being punished as harshly as you are.

Also it's very hard to believe this is the only game where you have said stuff like this.
