I'm finding it funny

That I get responses to posts from people asking for evidence while providing none in return themselves [sg-lux-2]

Interviews Streams Podcasts Articles Posts on the boards My own anecdotes

I've given all these in the past, but this post I want YOURS.

Please by all means, if Riot's current behavior system is so great and has made so much positive change for our community, show me. If it has, there should be plenty to reference. I'd rather be proven wrong than keep suffering from "confirmation bias" [poppy-wink]

I can make a claim that the player count should speak for itself such as here;

Given that the IFS was rolled out mid-early 2015, judging by those numbers in the community it didn't cause a decline but instead League went right back to increasing (after a decline in 2014).

Does that mean that the increase was caused by a better community? No, not necessarily. But it certainly shows that Riot didn't start declining once they rolled out a new detection system.

A "better community" is impossible to judge accurately on it's own from the standpoint of the company much less an individual. The company could feasibly try to judge how much better the community is based on the number of people they punish for poor behavior now compared to before, but that value is tainted because the detection system will fluctuate whenever there's a change in it. And each individual is going to have their own experience with it. Some people hate the new community because they're peeved that they can't yell at someone for doing poor or because they were insulted, others enjoy the new silence because they never had an issue with just shutting up and playing.

So these opinions by streamers, interviews, podcasts, articles, and your anecdotes are pretty worthless at actually determining if the community is "better" than before.

There's your source. A whole forum section of bad apples posting their chat logs, showing why they were banned, so that we can look at said logs and decide for ourselves, "Yes, that's exactly the sort of person I don't want to run into in my games," or "No, that did not deserve a ban."

We can see for ourselves what sort of behavior the system is penalizing. We can see for ourselves what kind of players are being permabanned. And we like what we see.

Not everyone is going to agree on every single case, but clearly there is general agreement that the system is weeding out the right players, or at least, is not weeding out the wrong ones.

Riot's response to bad words is very not good. they are like a tyrant that doesn't like them at all, but it is the easiest thing to ban people for. banning trolls is harder because it is a video game and that "troll build" could be how the teemo main has fun, not that he intends for it to be trolling.
