It's been about 5 months since my 14 day suspension expired. Would I still get perma-banned even 5 months after the 2 week ban? I'm worried I can't commit any offences or else it would lead to a permanent ban. Do the offences reset in severity after a certain amount of time?
Nope. Even if you waited 7183792728182 years, any offense could get you a permanent ban.
Only way to get back in good standing is to consistently play well and without toxicity. Eventually, you’ll get back to being in good standing.
It takes consistent positive action for your account status to heal, the general consensus is that 2-5 months is enough for tiers to start lowering. Keep in mind this isn't an official guide, it's just something the community seems to widely agree on based on available information and anecdotes.
Obviously you shouldn't go back to flaming or anything like that, but I think you're probably fine. Don't focus on the punishments, just focus on having fun and treating your teammates with respect.
I'm worried I can't commit any offences or else it would lead to a permanent ban.
You shouldn't be worried, given that if you don't commit any offenses, you won't be punished, thus you won't be banned at all (regardless of for how long).
It doesn't go by a case of time, as much as it goes by a case of instances and severity over games played.
If I was reported for neg attitude (provided it was noted I was actually negative in this example) in my next 5 straight games, I'd probably eat a chat restriction. If that didn't stop me, I'd eat a ban.
If I waited out the ban, and another 2-5 months to be safe, I still haven't played any games in that time...so if I start eating more reports, what's changed?
Mind you, if I were consistent enough to get it every single game, it'd be pretty easy to tell that I'm simply not enjoying the game anymore. Let alone making it less enjoyable for others.
Either way...I don't think time is the factor. I think history is the factor. That's the point to take from this.
Your goal, whether you have ever been punished or not, is to exhibit zero negativity and toxicity in your games. Zero. Not, "oh, my account's been good for a while, I should be able to let something come out." ZERO.
since after your 14 day ban ANY toxicity gets you permabanned, id say 5 months is enough to at least get lowered 1 tier.
but its not a time factor, its a thing of how much you play without being toxic
