banned for talking to friend

I got perma banned b/c I said something to my friend that was explicit, I thought my Taric who was the 3rd person in our Twisted Treeline game was AFK. I did not know he was there and nothing I said was directed at him. I understand I may have said something that was "naughty" but it should not be permabannable if it was not directed at ANYONE or used in a derogatory way.

Hi there!

Not to go FULL SOCCER MOM, but can we please keep the conversation meaningful? A bunch of people posting the same spammy comment is against the Universal Rules.

If you have questions, feel free to talk to us in the The Boards Moderation Discord or the Discuss the Boards sub-board.

Starting in a new comment string because the previous one reached a soft-limit.

I wouldn't expect some random person to report me for harassment if i'm not talking to them.

You're dodging the questions. It doesn't matter if you don't expect some random person to report you, that doesn't change the fact that you broke the rules. I'll ask the questions one last time:

What did your conversation with your friend entail? You don't get punished for no good reason, and I'm willing to bet that if you stopped beating around the bush and told us what your conversation involved (better yet, show us your chat logs), we'd see clear as day why you were punished.
What is your previous punishment history? If you recently came off of a 14-day ban, then getting permabanned is the next and last step for any further offenses. Particularly egregious offenses don't require a 14-day ban for it to step up to a permaban, which plays into question 1.
If your conversation with your friend was in any way offensive, why not use some other chat service, like Discord, where the rules are more lenient?

If you can't answer at least Question 1 and 2, then you can't discuss your punishment. Considering how you've been avoiding honest explanations thus far, I'm going to wager that you know full well that you broke the rules, your chat logs would show it, and your punishment (as any punishments before it) was merited.
