premade troll queues abusing auto feed back report system

ShroomPlugTeemo·Mar 20, 2018·2 votes·1,142 views

i got placed in a premade team of 3 or 4 trolls. They kept spamming in all chat to report me. One of them was even making up things like i was saying n word and calling them homophobic slurs. One of them even admitted to me after the game that they have a very high success rate abusing the report system and do it every game cus its funny. These guys are going around banning innocent players while they roam free.

is there any riot employing willing to look into our chat logs? i would love to actually see some justice for once.

Lol ignore it. What a buncha dolts. You can't be punished for something you didn't do. Let them spam report calls, and just report them after the game. Don't be dumb and get baited into flaming them. Just roll your eyes, play, and report after game. What they're doing IS punishable, in case you didn't know. And Riot doesn't just punish based on whether you were reported or not. The report has to have validity. Also, they're lying to you. They cant really know if they're getting people's accounts punished. That's practically why Riot doesn't tell you other people's account status. They were just trying to tilt and bait you, which is punishable so I hope you reported them. If you did, your job is done. Delete thread, move on with your life.

Lol just gotta stress "one of them even admitted to me..", they didn't ADMIT anything, they were lying and saying things to make you mad. Stop being so gullible on the internet.

Edit: sorry for the dickish tone, I just can't believe people fall for these things. I gotta be more understanding, sorry.

you clearly dont know how the autofeed back system works. You realize its a machine/system that punishes people, not riot staffs or tribunal? ignorant people like you is the reason why this dysfunctional systems exist. innocent players are banned by 4v1 troll reports. This stops when we acknowledge what actually goes around.

The automated system is not going to give you a punishment if there is nothing that it finds wrong with your behavior.

What they were doing though is a big red flag to the system. Asking for reports is a great way to get on the bad side of the system.

Lmao how you gonna start by telling me I clearly don't know how it works, and then say a buncha shit that doesn't contradict what I said at all? Yes it is automated. That doesn't mean you get punished just cuz you were reported. Are you sure you know what you're talking about?

LeylaniaMar 20, 20187 votes

That is not how it works. It doesn't matter what they accuse you of or what they tell the enemy team what you said if you are actually innocent and didn't write anything bad. What they meant with having a high success rate is baiting people into raging and then getting them banned for their chat. You can not get banned for something you didn't say.

Also 1 report counts as many as multiple ones, it does not matter if 1 person or 9 report you.

If you got banned then probably because you retaliated in an insulting way. Feel free to post us your chat log so we can tell you what did get you banned.

Ah, teenagers calling others "kiddie". I'm pretty sure that I'm older than you.

Also I just saw that you posted your chatlogs on three other posts already, so why not post them here aswell? And looking at your chat logs the ban was justified. Justice was served when you were banned.

justice is served when i am banned but not my troll queue team? you have a funny sense of justice. imo justice will be served when we all get punished. it sucks when the internet kiddies sense of logic completely overpowers your own.

How do you know they weren't banned? The message that a ban was issued almost never pops up even if the person was banned.

You have made several threads about your ban already;

Where you show all three games

Where you only show game 3

Where you only show game 3 again, but this time post in General

The only way that works is if you say/do something reportable, report the entire team and move on

Umbral RegentMar 20, 20184 votes

The community has already looked at your chat logs, and the consensus is that your punishment was merited, despite your denial thereof. I'm fairly certain that even if a Rioter reviewed your punishment, they'd leave the ban in place.

You made two statements in that post (after I had deigned to leave it) that I want to address now (note; these responses I'm pulling are from the OP to various other players, myself included):

UHHH NO. cmon buddy what dont you understand about the automatic feed back system? this is old news. you get judged by the system if you get multiple reports in a single game. thats why im so pissed off. cus i now know they are abusing this shit and getting off. i suffer the consequence and people claim justice is served.

You don't seem to understand the IFS yourself. You get judged by the system if you get at least one report in a single game. And that one report (barring any potential notes or report categories from other reports) is all that's taken into account for a given review. Any reports past the first are disregarded.

The IFS is not easily abused, unless of course the victims of report abuse are particularly gullible. That's why when people start making false claims about you in any chat, whether it's /team or /all, you ignore them. Mute them, report them post-game for Verbal abuse, and move on. Do not validate their claims.

ok just reread the rules and apparently i didnt even break a single rule game 3. this is actually hilarious how you guys dont know the rules but say i get banned for them

First of all, I'm inclined to believe that those of us who have yet to ever be punished may know the rules a little more thoroughly than you do.

Second; what rules did you "re-read"? Was it the Terms of Use?

5.1. Can I troll, flame, threaten or harass people while using the Riot Services? (No. If you do, you might get banned.)

Which warns against harassing and threatening other players? Both of which you did in Game 3 of your chat logs - mind.

Or was it the Summoner's Code?

4 - Enjoy Yourself, but not at Anyone Else's Expense

Which tells you not to take joy at another person's expense?

To pull from the other thread, this is the entirety of your chat log from Game 3;

Game 3 ShroomPlugTeemo: report ryze ShroomPlugTeemo: i see no support ShroomPlugTeemo: and i called mid ShroomPlugTeemo: muted ShroomPlugTeemo: muted ShroomPlugTeemo: im recording the chat lol ShroomPlugTeemo: w/e u say ShroomPlugTeemo: ez ShroomPlugTeemo: renk the only reason i havent muted you is cus im getting you banned ShroomPlugTeemo: just adding more fuel to your fire ShroomPlugTeemo: i hope u didnt pay for that skin lol ShroomPlugTeemo: gg

I italicized the lines that break the rules according to the Terms of Use, and bolded the lines that break the rules according to the Summoner's Code.

You threatened another player with punishment/reports (against the rules), and then took petty satisfaction from levelling that threat against them, on top of the potential of them being punished. (also against the rules).

Whether you think you did or not, you broke the rules, and your account was punished accordingly.

To pull another quote of yours from the initial thread;

the trolls end up winning.

They may have, but you are the only one who let them win. Next time, don't feed the trolls.

all you keep saying is i deserve to be banned when clearly that is not the point of this thread. you clearly dont read. And when did i ask to be unbanned? you keep on talking about my punishment is deserved while completely ignoring my teams behavior. JUST for your sake i will just go ahead and say you are 100% correct and i deserve to be banned so you can finally stfu. now that we agree on my ban can you now please finally move on and stop swaying from the subject?

Umbral RegentMar 20, 20182 votes

If your subject is that other players should be punished for reports filed against you, then...You're barking up the wrong tree, for two reasons.

First, the IFS will not review players who were not reported. Imagine if you were in a full premade, and only talking in /team chat, but someone on the enemy team reports one of their own, and suddenly, without warning, you get punished for calling your premade teammate a "trash ezreal" or something of the sort.

It would be horrifically unfair, and it would be a faulty system. For that reason, the IFS will only review and punish players who were reported.

If you reported the players, I can guarantee they've been punished, because calling for reports is punishable, and if they did, and you reported them, then logically, they got punished for it.

Second, the Boards is a Community Forum. This is not a good channel for a Rioter response, even if Tantram is known to sometimes lurk about here. If you want to get a Rioter Response (or informally report another player, with less of a guarantee of action against their account, and zero information to that effect), you can file a Support Ticket.

When you come to the Boards, you are opening up a discussion to the Community first and foremost. It's only a matter of course that we players would come and weigh in on your discussions, since, as far as anyone's concerned, you posting on the boards is an invitation for us to chime in.

you keep on talking about my punishment is deserved while completely ignoring my teams behavior.

Your teammates' behavior does not excuse your own, and, in the context of your punishment, is irrelevant. There is no reason to focus on your teammate's behavior in a discussion about your behavior and your punishment.

If your teammates got punished and started up a thread about their punishment, then I would discuss their behavior on their thread in isolation from your misbehavior, regardless of whether or not they bring you up.

Beyond all this, there's really only two more statements to make;

You should consider being respectful, even if you're aggravated at me. There's no reason to tell me to "stfu".
The only other potential discussion there is to be had here is about the IFS not punishing players outside of the one(s) reported, regardless of any rule-breaking on their part, but even then, that would be very quickly closed off.

this is why i have to tell you to STFU. cus you still dont read and just repeat the same things over and over. For the last time this thread is NOT ABOUT MY BEHAVIOR. and you say my team probably got punished. They didnt, you are just big on assumptions.

did not receive the player banned window, which shows up shortly after reporting.

now that i think about it the only times ive gotten players banned was when the entire team/teams reports with me. yea its all about them gang reports

No, gang reports do the exact same thing as a single report. Tantram himself (the guy who wrote the code for the IFS) has said that the IFS only checks if the report count is greater than zero. If at least one person reports a player, then the IFS reviews and judges the player, regardless of how many reports there are.

I will say it again; Any report past the first is disregarded. 9 reports = 1 report. Multiple reports after the first do not do anything.

If you're going to accuse me of not reading what you say, at least read what I say. Hypocrisy won't get you anywhere.

Beyond that, the "A player has been punished..." pop-up very rarely shows up, and it's not going to show up every single time someone you report gets punished. It's horrifically unreliable info.

If anything, you of all people should be more certain than anyone that the players you reported for rallying for reports against you got punished, because you yourself got punished for the exact same thing.

its very possible for a good/positive player to be reported once every game by toxic salty immature players or trolls. this player will never receive punishment. but a 9x report once every 10 games will.

KingWanahakalugiMar 20, 20182 votes

It doesn't matter how many people report you. Riot has made it crystal clear over the years since the initial release of the IFS that the number of reports is irrelevant. A report against a player simply flags a game for review by the IFS. 3,4 or even 9 reports only flags the game ONCE, and the IFS reviews the game ONCE. The IFS looks for your behavior only. If you find some of their behavior or chat troubling, by reporting them, you flag their behavior for review. There is no weight to the system. The report you give them counts as much as the one they gave you. If they are receiving notifications that players are getting banned, it is because the other players have earned it by their behavior too. It's not fair that they keep entrapping players, and I don't believe anyone here would agree with their behavior. They will receive justice. It catches up to them eventually. Its just important not to retaliate and put yourself in a position to receive punishment.

Well I am sorry that you do not care anymore, but Riot is not lying. That's why calling for people to report someone is considered harassment and can be punished (not alone traditionally but with other negative behavior). If ganging up to report someone was how the report system worked, Riot would encourage people to call for reports from their team and the opposition. They don't encourage this behavior though. They want you to mute the source, report the player(s) yourself, and move on. I've played since season 3. I've been on lots of skids with a series of bad games and my team has flamed me. I've seen countless trolls, an army of int'ers and enough toxicity that a nuclear waste site would have an inferiority complex. Doing those 3 things will make the game more pleasant for you, for your team and for the enemy team. It tilts trolls and int'ers off the face of the earth to stay silent and just report and move on afterwords. The IFS does work if you trust it. Over time they are eventually caught. You should also be aware that you won't get the notifications that someone received punishment unless they were on their last straw, and received a perma-ban. I get maybe 3 notifications a year, but that doesn't mean people aren't being punished. Otherwise, try to relax. Take a breather because I can imagine the frustration.

And, I sincerely do hope you have a nice day.

It tilts trolls and int'ers off the face of the earth to stay silent and just report and move on afterwords. The IFS does work if you trust it. Over time they are eventually caught. You should also be aware that you won't get the notifications that someone received punishment unless they were on their last straw, and received a perma-ban. I get maybe 3 notifications a year, but that doesn't mean people aren't being punished. Otherwise, try to relax. Take a breather because I can imagine the frustration.

And, I sincerely do hope you have a nice day.

i still think that gang reports is how the IFS works. This is based off of countless personal experiences so sorry, it doesnt matter what Riot claims at this point. I think riot denies it, because if they didnt, many more players would try to abuse a system. If a lot more players were aware they could abuse the IFS, they would do it. And obviously riot wouldnt encourage this because it is toxic/bully behavior. They lie about false reports not doing anything, in order to deter players from false reporting and bully reporting. I mean if lying to us make the game less toxic, why not? They are lying about the IFS in order to refrain toxic players from abusing it. Smart but wrong.

Do those personal experiences include reading the code for the IFS? Because Tantram - the person who wrote that code - made it clear what the system does:

If (# of reports) > 0 Then (review for punishable behavior)

That doesn't look like it uses a higher number of reports to affect punishment weight or likelihood.

why wouldnt it? 9 reports obviously weigh more than 1. logically and fundamentally it makes sense. obviously riot lies about the IFS so trollls and immature players wont abuse it.

Because the system's purpose is protecting individuals from harassment, not about ensuring that the majority gets their vengeance. It would be piss-poor at protecting individuals if it weighed greater number of reports more heavily than one report.

9 reports obviously weigh more than 1. logically and fundamentally it makes sense.

"9 reports should be made to weigh more than 1, because this is what should make the most sense to do." <- is that what you meant to say? If not then you're literally begging the question.

You might not know how programming works, but that code that I showed you above is very strict. It only decides to review or not based on if there is at least one report on the person for that game. Having more reports does nothing to affect that choice made by the IFS. End of story.

obviously riot lies about the IFS so trollls and immature players wont abuse it.

It is likely that Riot doesn't want people to file exorbitant amounts of reports... and it is possible that they could be lying in order to prevent players from doing so. But simply being possible does not make something true. There are numerous other possibilities that you have not yet dis-proven, and so you cannot simply jump to a conclusion like a lemming off a cliff and expect the rest of us to follow suite.

Once you reported them your involvement in their behaviior ended. Riot will not discuss otber peoples punishments with you. You are solely responsible for your actions and you can only discusss what happens on yohr account
