DISCLAIMER: This is not a typical cry-post telling riot to lift punishes (the punish has already end). I have not received this chat restriction. My friend did and after what he told me am very curious and i wanted to ask you guys your opinion about the reason he got banned.

So a friend of mine got 10 games chat restricted. I asked him "why", because am suprised because he nevers flames whatsoever (the only offensive thing he does is asking for reports). He told me that he asked a player's age and when the player told him his age, he wanted to confirm that he was telling the truth by asking him his facebook name in order to search him and confirm his age. Now you will tell me "why he bothers to learn his age so bad?". Well dont ask me! Is what my friend did considered harassment or something?

Note: He didn't send me any chat logs, he just told me that. There is a possibility of him lying, am not sure if this was the actual reason, I just wanna ask if this is harassment and punishable.

As per the terms of use, the following is prohibited:

ii. Posting identifying information about yourself or other players to the Website or within the Game;

iii. Harassing, stalking or threatening other players while using the Riot Services;

xiv. Inducing or encouraging others to violate this Code of Conduct or the terms of this Agreement.

Because of ii, your friend's request violates xiv, and any transfer of personal information has the potential to violate iii.

As a result, this seems completely legitimate and reasonable.

Honestly, this behavior sounds pretty creepy, even if no ill will was intended from it.

Of course the context matters like the tone and words he used to ask the person and stuff. But even just basing on what youve said, this behaviour does seem like leaning towards age shaming and harassment.

All we can do is make assumptions.

So I'm asking myself "why would he care what the person's age is" ..

The only thing I can think of is that he is referring to the person as a child, in the sense that they are incompetent.

Asking someone to prove that they aren't a child is pretty offensive.

If a friend told me what your friend said about the reasons on why he was chat restricted, be leaning towards to "he doesn't understand what is and isn't punishable" camp.

In this day and age why do people still risk asking a/s/l?

Its not even that he is lying to you maliciously. He might just be seeing it from his own biased (obviously biased because most people will favor themselves) point of view and not disclosing all details because he doesnt see them as important. Whereas if a third party saw ALL of the details, they would go "oh... i see now why you were punished.. you left out this or that when you told me" you know?
