Banned for chat profanity and "hate speech"

Okay so i understand that they want people to have their little safe space and all but it really just disappoints me that I'd get a 2 week ban for using the word "F*g" and other profanity which i understand is in their player agreement but we are not in preschool. Players have the ability to mute others for a reason. I would like riot to maybe rethink their ban and report system, i would be fine if i got a 2 week chat ban or couldn't chat, but 2 weeks is a bit much. I really enjoy the game and would like riot to actually ban the people causing problems in game ex: Inting or Purposely losing and trolling (not just playing bad, cause we all do sometimes.) . And why does there have to be a permaban, i think its kind of obnoxious to completely ban someone from the game UNLESS all they do is troll. Cursing, performing poorly, and spam pinging should 100% not be banable offenses. If anyone feels the same lmk down in the comments and maybe we could get rito to change some things around. Thanks :) [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

No, they are treating you like an adult, in the real world, where there are rules and consequences for your actions. Do you know what would happen if I went into work tomorrow and called someone a racial or homophobic slur? I would very quickly get called down to HR and then either get suspended or fired. This is how the real world works, there are things that people just don't want to hear and you calling people homophobic slurs is high on that list.

Well it's okay pal, you'll be getting that perma next and you'll be back here with all the item 3070 like everyone else who doesn't take the two week ban as a serious sign to reform yourself.

By your post here, I don't think you'll be missed.

Having a mute button does not give you free rights to curse as much as you like. Mute button is just there to zip up your profanity for comfort purpose until being able to report you after the game ended.

Also, do you have any previous punishments? If so or not, post your chat logs.

The in game report is just a lie.

There was one guy repeatedly called my "motherless dog", "chinese dog" on Oceania server but after the report, he is fine and plays game every night.

Don't trust RIOT.

"Wow, people can look away when I murder someone. Why don't they just ignore it instead of reporting me to the police?"

They started issueing two week suspensions before issueing any kind of chat restriction. its kind of ridiculous. but at the end of the day its better for the community.

While Necromancy may be handy (and sometimes needed) in video games, it's not the case for old forum threads. Please avoid using such magic and be mindful of how old threads are before posting.
