An Honest Apology

EmDash··11 votes·2,895 views

I have spent the last few days researching the EULA, and Summoner's Code, along with Tribunal Operation Procedures and the Tribunal forums.

I have concluded that I deserve this ban.

I sincerely apologize for my behavior and didn't realize how deeply intricate "toxicity" can be. I am sorry my behavior was out of line. I am sorry that my behavior could have hurt the community of this game. I honestly don't mind being banned right now because I do feel like I deserve it and will not ask to have my ban lifted because I have no excuses for myself.

I have been reported continuously for harassment and language and thought nothing of it, I believed it wasn't that big of a deal but I realize that it's a big deal to others who have to watch the way they act for the sake of the community.

I hope others will read this and learn that your anger, and your frustrations will be warranted at times, however, using that in a negative way to put your teammates down, or insult your enemies, is not how you should act. It may make you feel better for a moment, but in the long run you negatively influence others who will go on to play more games and that's not fair to them, no matter what they did. If they're doing something that bothers you and you think they're breaking the code, just report them. Retaliation is not an option.

To summarize, I am extremely sorry for my behavior. When I'm finally no longer banned from my 14 day, I will make a promise to myself to never do anything that could be considered against the rules in any way, not just because one more punishment will get me a permanent ban, but because I truly believe I've been in the wrong and now know what to do so I can be a productive member of the community.

Thank you for helping me reform.

Great to know! Not alot of people have the guts to realize and admit this. If you need help reforming, or help keeping your temper in check, feel free to add me after your suspension ends and if I have time we could play a few and I could help a little =]

I think the bans are stupid, they automatically ban/report you which only caters to this new generation of politically correct whores, that care nothing more than making sure crybabies don't get offended.

It's nothing about crybabies or losing or being called a bad name. It's the fact that 99.9% of those who start their shit wouldn't dare open their mouth like that to a stranger in fear of getting their teeth kicked in.

Exactly what does it prove to degrade or berate or belittle someone? I don't mean just the off the wall remark, I'm talking about the 20-40 minute non-stop barrage of just verbal assaults that get people in trouble.

Calling someone an idiot for doing something dumb isn't what the bans are coming from. It's from people who can't control themselves and unleash their immature rage on everyone else who is within listening distance for most of the game or in some cases from 3 games ago and just never let shit go.

Is the world thin skinned and too PC? Sure, I'll agree with you. But, that doesn't mean that everyone else should have to deal with the harassment just because we have different views. Just because you do something or believe something different doesn't mean that should give me the right to non-stop harass you until you decide to leave my presence.

When you get an interview for a job, just go in there raging like you would in a game. You'll be escorted out. Is it because they are scared you'll hurt someone's feelings? Nope. It's because you're creating an environment they don't want to deal with. No one wants to deal with some loud ass who has no respect for another person.

And yet I get reported for calling the half health Braum and Hecarim morons. When they tried to do Baron by themselves
