EXPERIMENT: How easy is it to be reported?
In LoL lately, I've been noticing toxic levels have been higher than what they were previously. In 2014 (the season I started ranking), had a much different level of toxicity than what I notice now. Back then people were hardly reported and weren't as punished compared to what I see today in League, and that concerns me a little bit. The current system we have for reporting negative/toxic player behavior is easily manipulated. With this being said, I propose as a community we try to figure out and document how easy is it to report a player. I decided to try and conduct this experiment because I find myself reporting too many players as well as seeing to many notifications of these players being punished. It could just be me thinking I report too many, but I'm quite sure that these notifications I see are too often and concerning.
Before we begin, let me just let you know about my background as a disclaimer for many. I AM NOT A PERFECT PLAYER. I AM NOT THE NICEST PLAYER (although lately I've been doing really well keeping it cool). I'm doing this as experiment for not just players with a record of chat restrictions or bans, but as a reminder to incoming players. Even this applies to clean record players who may need to be warned because one slip can get you punished.
**The purpose of this experiment is to deal with negative/toxic behavior ACCURATELY AND PRECISELY rather than what currently seems to be a reckless, corrupted system that needs to be fixed. **
So, here are** the requirements** for those who wish to participate with me in this experiment (The purpose of these requirements is quite obvious since we are trying to see how many people get reported and what gets them reported.):
- You would have to document and count each time you report a player and each time you are notified they are reported. This sounds tedious, but It is necessary.
- The person who you are reporting must meet negative/toxic behavior guidelines, such as hate speech, rage quitting, feeding, and griefing.
- If you were notified as someone reported, please document the chat logs that got you reported.
The purpose of these requirement is quite obvious since we are trying to see how many people get reported and what gets them reported.
This experiment will go on until a week from today (Saturday may 26, 2018 at 6:00PM)
The hypothesis that needs to be answered is If you reported more than or equal to 10 players or if were notified of more than or equal to 1 reported players, then the reporting system could use some work.
