Why was my post removed?

I posted here a half hour ago looking for a legitimate explanation (not an argument) as I am utterly confused, and my post was removed without a reply or an email explaining why.

Here is what I posted on the board:

TITLE: BS punishment system

I'll most definitely admit here that I did intentionally feed and deserve a punishment for it. Now that that's out of the way here goes my rant.

It started in champ select. I was given the role of ADC in a ranked game. I made the choice to use an old favorite of mine and clearly stated at least 3 different times that I would be playing Thresh ADC. 3 of my teammates were OK with it. One of them was not. He immediately flamed repeatedly and locked Ashe in. He proceeded to go bot lane and take cs as well as kills all the while being incredibly toxic in chat. About 6 minutes in of him straight flaming and trolling something in my head snapped and I decided "f* this kid I don't care about the LP as much as he does, I'll take a loss" and proceeded to warn him if he didn't stop I would intentionally feed. He replied with more slurs and I held up what I said I would do.

Onto why I view this as BS. This was my FIRST intentional feeding offense in the HISTORY of my account (3 years or so). Yes I have been chat banned before, but I have learned and did not flame in chat and have not flamed in chat. I simply stated "If you do not stop trolling I will intentionally throw this game." I received a 14 day ban for 1 games offense without ever flaming. The guy who not only stole a role he wasn't given by the matchmaking system, trolled, and flamed the entire game was not punished at all even though the enemy team actually sided with me and several of them stated they were going to report the other player.

So my question to RIOT here is what is the point of playing the game when someone can take your role, flame you, and then you end up being banned for an offense you have committed once?

I have included a link to the game in which I intentionally fed so it is clear I am not denying it.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'll re-respond to the thread;

How do you know that this person won't be punished by the system?

Meanwhile, why do you think that trolling is an acceptable response to trolling? Ignoring the fact that two wrong don't make a right, you and your target of your hatred are not the only two players in the game. There are 8 other players.

Your 3 other teammates had to deal with two trolls instead of one.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that this other person gets away with their poor behavior. It happens. The system is more geared towards preventing false positives, so many people who deserve to be punished are not.

But that doesn't change your own punishment if you deserved it.

AeroWaffle: I do not know for sure, however from when I received chat restrictions I was immediately punished once leaving the post game lobby and when I have reported players who have received restrictions I have been notified immediately after leaving the post game lobby that they were punished. My ban was not immediate so upon not receiving a post game message it is assumable that at least for that game he went unpunished.

I definitely do not think it was at all acceptable. I do 100% agree I deserve some sort of punishment. However my account has NEVER been banned before, only a couple of chat restrictions which were small 5 and 10 game ones. To be banned for a day would seem acceptable, but 14 for the very first offense of this nature on my entire accounts existence (roughly 3 years) seems a bit over the top.

There is an escalation punishment system. 5 game chat restrictions to 10 games to 14 day ban to permanent ban.

The first ban for intentional feeding is 14-days, because that's the first ban that actually prevents you from playing. All lower bans are in the form of chat-restrictions.

And a chat-restriction is the wrong punishment to assign someone who was intentionally feeding.

Thanks for clarifying. And to clarify no I would not want anyone who is feeding to be chat restricted. I was always under the impression there was a 1 day, a 3 day, a 7 day, a 14 day, and a permanent ban varying on the offense.

If memory serves that's how it worked when the Tribunal was still active. Riot moved to this new system to not only encourage players to reform faster but also to remove the ones that don't or won't faster as well also.
