Account Was Perma-Suspended???

Drag In Master··0 votes·1,318 views

The name Uncut BBC Lover is an ambiguous name and can be taken in multiple ways, I feel as though the name isn't offensive in any way towards anyone, as it is only talking about myself, and what I enjoy, no one else is mentioned(???) BBC America is a very popular channel and I don't know why anyone would want to watch something that has been edited or censored/cut. I have seen far more offensive, less ambiguous names that are online day after day, and I've never had any offenses. I don't get this, especially considering I've had my name for like a year and a half, maybe two years, I report people all the time when they are toxic, etc. so Riot has had to have seen my name around before, and no one has done anything. I don't get the sudden action? I feel as though if I had not sent in the support ticket that resulted in my account getting locked when the whole Google outage was happening a day or two ago that led to me believe my account possibly had been compromised, I would have never had to change my name, and none of this would have happened. TL;DR My name isn't offensive, and if you are taking it in an offensive matter, why? BBC is an acronym that can have a large multitude of meanings, and even if you take offense to my name for whatever reason, would mean that you have a bias against whatever you are assuming? I don't understand, as the name is in regard to myself and directed at no one else.

EDIT: Riot never told me to change my name when I was in live chat with them resolving my account being locked due to the support ticket I sent in. I even asked the guy, who had a sense of humor and was a pretty funny guy, what he thought of my name as well, to which he made no response. At that point, or at any point after, if he had said, oh, your name is offensive because X, change your name because it is offensive, I would have changed it when I logged back in. But, where I was not told to do so and that my name was offensive when given literally the perfect setup/time to bring it up, I assumed that my name was fine, and that possibly my name was just being asked to be changed because I had "recovered" my account from potentially being compromised, as my support ticket went into detail about. That is really the main issue I have here, and I had had my name for probably 1.5 years going on two years, and bought RP and reported other players frequently, so I would assume someone at Riot somewhere would have had to have seen my name, and possibly even had a nice laugh about it? I never ran into anyone in any game I was in who openly stated to me that they were offended by my name, most people had a good laugh about it and it brought a positive impact and influence to the games I was in, causing people to laugh, have fun, etc.

EDIT:EDIT:

My big thing is just like I said, seven, going on eight years of no infractions, ever. I've had this name for as long as I have, no Rioter ever said anything to me, everybody had a good time about it. I even laughingly brought it up to the Rioter in the live chat, he doesn't say anything like "that's offensive, change your name" so like... I feel like in that regard, that's not very hard to type out or say, just tell me and that's what I would have done. I thought the name change on logging in was due to the possibility of my account having been thought to have been compromised because I sent in a ticket saying I was unable to login due to unexpected error and thought that was the problem at hand, so maybe Riot thought that was what happened and issued a name change so I wouldn't have to potentially pay for it with BE had it been an undesirable name upon logging back in. I'm very willing to admit I was wrong in that regard, apparently, I was just unaware, and I'm willing to state that and be 100% open about it. It would be crazy to think I value a C in my name or the name I have more than all the time and money I have put into this account, had I thought that I would be literally perma-banned for changing my name back to what it was because I thought it was an optional name change, I would have changed it to something else in a heartbeat. That's the only point I'm trying to make, that the way the information was relayed was poor in my opinion, and had it been relayed in an easily understandable and very clear way I would have certainly complied with what was being asked of me.

No, it really isn't.

...and can be taken in multiple ways...

No, it really can't, at least not without very creating stretching.

I'd ask you to test that theory and google that for me, but you probably shouldn't do that.

BBC America is a very popular channel and I don't know why anyone would want to watch something that has been edited or censored/cut...

Yeah, this is up there with "I called him a cigarette" or "it means kiss yourself." Sorry, but I'm not buying this -- and neither, apparently, is Riot.

I mean, it's all a matter of interpretation, and even so, to that degree, if it did mean what I assume you're implying, as it is referring to myself personally, why should it offend anyone? I'm not directing anything towards anyone but merely describing myself. Everyone has their own interpretation of everything, but I mean, still.

Whether it offends or not, the sort of crass sexual comment that your name implies (intentionally or not) is something that is not appropriate for League.

Based on the FAQ for inappropriate names:

https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752814-Summoner-Name-FAQ

I don't think you got suspended for the name. According to the FAQ, Riot autochanges your name to a placeholder name and makes you change it and you said you already opened a support ticket so I'm super confused as to how you think you are being banned for an inappropriate name.

Riot never told me to change my name when I was in live chat with them resolving my account being locked due to the support ticket I sent in.

Are you sure you aren't being locked out because they think your account got compromised again?

EDIT: I read your edit edit and you were mandated a name change and you kept it the same. Riot reserves the right in their FAQ to permaban repeat offenders. They explicitly say so

"If we do require you to change your Summoner name, make sure to choose wisely! Repeated reports will result in a penalty to either your account or your honor so make sure to pick an appropriate Summoner name."

My name wasn't exactly the same, like I said, I thought that it may have been due to the nature of the support ticket, I was unaware that it was an issue with the name itself, it wasn't stated. I guess that's my mistake, which I'm free to admit.

its easy not to get banned .

dont be toxic

follow the rules = no ban

its that simple , no argument.

Drag In Master1 votes

I mean that's the thing. I've never had any action against me, I don't get it. I'm a nice, friendly player. I never flame anyone, I try to make the games I'm in as fun and enjoyable as possible, as it is just a game after all, and I report people when they have a negative impact on the game by bashing teammates, hate speech, etc. I'm definitely not a toxic player, it's just a matter of a name being taken out of context(?)

MrFawknSunshine1 votes

im not saying u are toxic, the conversation between me and other guy went a bit broad. as you can see im for edgy names i find funny. when it comes to you and your name , regardless of how you INTENDED IT, its how its perceived, its obscene, and references male member. to say it dont is a lie... like i said regardless of how you intended it. but riot announced they were/are gonna be going after "offensive names" and well considering this a game with kids... sorry you are on that list.

riot should have gave you the chance to rename your account before ban, that i agree but i dont know any history between you and riot ...

but as i said in an above comment the account and all things in the account ( paid for whatever ) belongs to riot. follow their rules.

maybe if you submit a support ticket. ( top left corner of the screen ) explain, cry n beg and be willing to change the name they might unban it. best of luck

I mean I never said anything about that, I have no problem with having spent the money and the account being banned, that doesn't matter to me. I'm definitely not saying like hurrdurr I spent a bajillion dollars I deserve to be above the law, that's crazy. It's just like, I've had no offenses, I didn't know the intent of the name change as there was no context and I was left essentially in the dark and it was out of the blue, so I was just like, oh okay? What? And then this is the result, no hard feelings at all.

like i said submit a support ticket , explain things, tell them you are willing to change it and see what happens

If that's how you want it, fine. But a game where everyone has to be nice and constrain there anger, that's not a game, games are made to be fun, not to be a workplace

MrFawknSunshine4 votes

DUDE your account, all of them, all the champs, icons, emotes , skins etc all that $$$ you spent ISNT YOURS it is PROPERTY OF RIOT

you have zero right to be toxic to others, maybe people dont find that fun. if you want to yell, cuss, punch your wall , kick your dog, smack your momma , throw your computer out the window cuz u got mad at this game ( i dont condone any of this ) is your choice cuz you arent inflicting verbal abuse, hostility towards others in the game.

just as in the USA there are laws i dont agree with but know if i break the rules i go into big boy timeout. so guess what... i dont wanna go to big boy timeout, its not fun there. so i abide by those laws.

similar with RIOT's TOS and Summoners Code. They set the laws, abide by it or go in time out

have a nice day

A game where you can't hav fun because someone is constantly bitching at you for dying once isn't a game either by that logic.

Being angry is fine. There are ways to express that anger WITHOUT going into chat.

Xidphel1 votes

I think I am right because numerous people agree with me

And? Beliefs and people agreeing with you is fine and all but if you're wrong, you're wrong.

Zombie Gerbil1 votes

Sorry but, no, no one agrees with you. Hence the downvotes you've gotten. Your friends don't count as numbers. Even if they did try to upvote you, you'd still get mass downvotes from other players due to how wrong you are and how many disagree with you.

You own nothing when it comes to League of Legends. Never have. Will not now. Never will. Forever. Work on your attitude if you want to be part of Riots service.

I couldn't give the tiniest peck of shit if its against their "code of conduct" or rules

Then go find another game. I don't walk into a Library, see a sign saying quiet please and walk in and start yelling at people. You use private property, agree to their terms, then break them willingly and claim you're being unfairly treated? Like it or not no matter what the rules are if you agree to follow them then you agree to whatever punishment is given for breaking them. Don't like it, don't agree to them in the first place. Go make your own game with your own rules.

Having a F2P video game account banned is hardly the end of the world.

I've seen people get banned from restaurants for behavior less than what gets you banned from League.

Godfather Star1 votes

AeroWaffle4 votes

You can go to Dota 2, HotS, or Smite. League is not the only game of this playstyle.

And may I ask why you're allowed to make an unreasonable comparison like this;

If the government issued a law so that everyone has to shoot themselves, would you? no you wouldn't

But my comparison to restaurants also banning people for poor behavior can't be made?

The account that you use is not yours. It's Riots. All those champions, skins and so on. Riot's.

They have the right to stop allowing you to use their services on the account when they feel like you broke the terms.

It's one of the reasons that your earlier comparison was unreasonable. The government demanding you kill yourself cannot be compared to Riot no longer allowing you to use their content on the account that they own.

The other reason it was unreasonable is because you likened the injustice of compelled suicide to getting banned from a F2P video game.
