I was Permabanned for what, exactly?

Sir Donzel·5/4/2016, 10:46:19 PM·1 votes·634 views

I was permanently banned after one game where I said something negative about an AFK. Yes, I flamed, but how is one negative chat log of one game an "extensive audit" of my behavior, and somehow meriting a permanent ban? And the language I used wasn't racist or homophobic either, before anyone suggests that. So why was I banned? I can't figure out how to post my own chat card, but if someone is aware of how to do so I'd be happy to in order to show why I don't think a permanent ban is warranted. Not that I think this will ever see a reply from anyone, let alone anyone who works in Player Behavior.

EDIT: Here's what was said. Jungle Vayne was the AFK

Report our Vayne by the way Thanks

Calling for reports.

Oh how I wish we had a fucking jungler With any luck his house is burning down Lucky

Wishing harm upon someone else.

I'm done at 20 Since you probably won't FF Fuck off. Enjoy your 4v5 win

Giving up just because of an AFK on the team.

Oh look The lvl 1 Vayne is back We're saved... Too late Who cares We're surrendering in a minute and thirty If we have any fucking sense

Passive-aggressive comments directed towards the Vayne along with another "I give up" statement as well. Also trying to boss your fellow teammates into doing what you want them to do (in this case surrender).

Oh loook There she goes again What is she, your fucking duo? Muted Fucking asshole.

More harassment directed towards the Vayne.

I'm afk split pushing until we lose And fuck whoever voted no, by the way Fuck you No, I just don't care

Abandoning the team and not caring about it while also being a jerk towards the person who voted no to the Surrender vote. All this just because of an AFK on your team at the very start of the game.

Who votes not to FF in a fucking 4v5 Who votes not to FF a 4v5 Seriously, who's enjoying this Just end

While your frustrations are understandable you are not the leader of the team so stop acting like you are.

I'd rather you report our AFK At least this toxic bot will lose as well That's something

More calling for reports.

Why won't you let us lose It's a 4v5 In normals We haven't taken 1 tower I'm serious What's the appeal in getting curb stomped Tell me Just end it

This is ironic considering you had already given up and decided to just abandon your team just because the beginning of the game didn't go your way.

Conclusion:

When things don't go your way you seem to resort to harassment, report calling and team abandonment (i.e. the afk farming and the almost immediate "surrender at 20" comment). This lasts throughout the whole entire game. None of these are acceptable and are why you got punished.

Advice:

  • While having an AFK on the team is always annoying to deal with, giving up immediately when one appears can often do more harm than good. At least try your best and make the effort to play the game rather than giving up right away.
  • Don't call for reports, ever, as it's considered harassment. If you need to report someone just do so after the game. One report is as good as three are, meaning that additional reports won't increase the time it takes for a case to get reviewed.
  • Wishing harm on someone and harassment are both big no-nos. If you're frustrated take it out on a pillow or something rather than venting it out in the in-game chat. The reason so many people get punished for verbal abuse and harassment is because they feel the need to verbally abuse and harass someone via the in-game chat. You can't get punished if you don't do anything in the game or say anything in the chat that you know is against the rules and will get you punished.

My verdict: Punish.

Additional Notes:

  • Unless the case in question is extremely bad (i.e. death threats, racist comments, etc.) you aren't punished for just one game alone. You are punished for showing consistent negative behavior across multiple games.
  • Reform cards never show all reported games and are meant to be an example of the kind of behavior that got you punished in the first place.
  • Cases can be escalated immediately to 2-week or permaban status if the behavior shown in them is severe enough.
  • Permabans are handed out if the person in question has not changed their behavior after 35 games worth of chat restrictions and a 2-week ban.
  • All permabans are reviewed by a Riot employee directly, and are only handed out if the reviewer after doing a full account review feels that the person in question has no interest or intention on reforming.

Looks like its worthy of a punishment.

Considering the time you were 14-day banned, you were negative again shortly after that punishment. The next punishment is a permaban, which is what you got.
