@riotlyte Just got permabanned

SmokeyzR··2 votes·2,538 views

So i just got permabanned and i wasn't even being toxic in the game that i was just in. I was a bit frustrated but I was not excessively abusive to any one in the game. I was just wondering if there would be a way to appeal my ban. My name in game is Smokeyzr. Looking forward to feedback.

Thanks

Reading them now i can say i shouldn't have said anything about autism but other than that you honestly have to take everything that everyone else had said into perspective.

Kaitri2 votes

i was about to say "i give you credits for not crying that you only see your chat" but you fucked it up. it doesnt matter what the others said you know why? because even if they said the worst things in existance, it still doesnt allow you to break the rules. it still means if you break the rules YOU GET PUNISHED!!!

and the autism part isnt really the "bad" part. the "bad" part is that i cant see a single line that isnt negative. in all 3 games EVERY SINGLE THING YOU TYPED is negative insulting flaming etc. there is nothing even neutral. not positive not neutral JUST NEGATIVE THINGS.

sry man but your chances for getting unbanned are about 0,00%

SmokeyzR1 votes

You have never got frustrated and took it out on someone who is insulting you right back? I'm really not trying to justify my actions but was wondering if there was a possibility of my account ever being unbanned. I know it would be right away but maybe a few month or something? Considering I pretty much just wasted like 2k on an account I can never use again is a bit upsetting. Oh and game 2 wasn't even bad...I was talking to my duo for most of the chat.

Kaitri2 votes

sure i did but i usually curse at my screen. or wsp with my premade about how fucking bad that vayne is that goes 1v5 because she thinks she is doubleshit. and when ppl really start to attack me i move chat out of the window. i dont like to mute ppl i prefer to move the chat away. then i report and move on. perma ban means its permanent sorry dude. and the amount of money you spent doesnt matter to riot there is no extra service for ppl who pay. the 14 day ban (if you didnt skip it) was your last warning. you can make a new account and improve there or just uninstall. i mean if the game makes you that angry and you cant just ignore others you shouldnt play this. cant be fun for you?

SmokeyzR1 votes

yeah i know money means nothing...was just stating that i just wasted a bunch of money for nothing. and i went from like 10 games chat restriction to a 14 day ban before i think. but i just don't get how reports in very few games when i have played hundreds justifies a permaban. and the game itself is very fun but i just let people get to me sometimes or play when i'm having a bad day which i shouldn't do

It takes a good number of reports to trigger a review for each stage of the banning process and the final permanent ban is never automated. Somebody at Riot Games personally looked into your case and said "Yea, this guy is over the line"

Also how do you know how many games you were reported in?

SmokeyzR1 votes

i can guess...because i can remember most of the times that i crossed the line and said something i shouldn't have. and the email i got said the tribune voted to punish me...that would mean players from the community and not riot personally looking at my logs correct?

Mama Soraka1 votes

I don't think they changed the email format since the Tribunal went into recess. That part would likely be referring to the automated system, but I don't know, I've never had a suspension or restriction before.

Either way, permanent suspension are manually reviewed. I can find a source for that if you REALLY need it but that is just common knowledge around the PB&M forum.

Also, I hate to break it to you but your own guesswork about how many reports you have is not a valuable metric to base your whole "I shouldn't be banned for so few reports" theory around. I've been around for over 6 years now and personally only seen a handful of permanent suspensions overturned and those were always for people that had their accounts compromised beforehand and could prove it wasn't them.

If you want to keep playing, make a new account and learn to keep your temper and words in check. It isn't easy, I was taught by my parents that arguing and yelling is an acceptable outlet for your emotions when I was very young because they were not fit to be together and ultimately saw a divorce. It took a long time for me to reign in my anger problem and I still suffer today, but it CAN be done. I suggest getting somebody close to you that can cut you off if you have trouble tempering yourself when stressed out. I almost lost some friends over my problem and just gave them permission to stop me at any time I couldn't handle myself and it did wonders for my temper.

You can change, I know you can.

SmokeyzR1 votes

i mean my guess work is the only thing i have to go off of unless a rioter posts other logs to prove me wrong. and i have been improving more and more overtime...i dont take my anger outside of the game i leave it there. i rarely talk in chat anymore unless its relevant to the game.

Mama Soraka1 votes

All I can say, is my experience tells me this wont get reversed. I don't think you're a bad guy and I don't think you WANT to be a bad guy. You just need some pointing in the right direction. If you do decide to make another account just always focus on you, mute people that are trying to start something with you, and only comment on your own play so you never even feel the temptation to talk trash.

It doesn't matter how other people act, its about YOU now. Report awful people, stay away from stressful environs like ranked if that's what sets you off. Personally I enjoy like 5 games in a bot matches as the weirdest off-spec builds I can think of if a match gets me tilted.

Full AP Gnar is my favorite right now, but hybrid Tristana is fun too.

SmokeyzR1 votes

yeah man the only thing i play now is ranked...just like the competitive aspect of it as i am a very competitive person. but the game where i was talking to malph shouldnt even be there...are you not allowed to have a little back and forth between you and another person? i didnt say anything hateful to him ...i just dont get it tbh

Mama Soraka1 votes

I don't see anything too bad in that one either, I imagine the logs are just the last x games you were reported in so somebody you were playing with thought you were being serious. That's the problem with the internet, you lose tone and sarcasm so sometimes what you say comes out different than you heard yourself saying it.

Naturally, I'm not approving of the rest of your games, those weren't very nice.

SmokeyzR1 votes

yeah well the 3rd game wasn't really that bad...everyone was flaming ez because he was following me around trolling because our jungler didnt gank when he wanted him to and the first game theres not much to say except i was getting flamed and just had a bad response

SmokeyzR1 votes

yeah well game 1 i just responded badly to getting flamed tbh but the 3rd game everyone was flaming the ez and i barely even said anything...i didnt say anything bad compared to what my teammates were saying to ez... doesnt make it right but still

100% BS... I was just perma banned 30 seconds after my game after an "extensive" review.

SmokeyzR1 votes

i feel the same way but if there is no appeal process then theres nothing we can do tbh

Mama Soraka2 votes

Either it only took them 30 seconds to realize you needed to be banned or your account was locked mid-game and it was nice enough not to kick you out of the game and ruin it for your team.

This is further supported by the fact that the launcher and game client are two separate processes which mean the launcher can be instructed to tell you about your ban as soon as it detects the game client ending the match.

Man its like alternate explanations exist for this other than "Everything Riot says is lies"

Nik Nikerson1 votes

It's an escalating system. After a 14-day ban, the next step up permaban, even if what you did would normally just get you a chat restriction if you hadn't been punished before. Your 14-day was literally your last chance to fix your behavior.

SmokeyzR1 votes

yes but i have gotten a lot better....these reports are only from the past couple days....i have played around 200 games since i was punished before. so how would a few games outweigh the majority?

Nik Nikerson1 votes

It's not a matter of how many games you play, it's about length of time after your punishment. You have to go 3 months(I'm pretty sure its 3 months, if its not I'm sure someone will correct me) before you drop a level of punishment. I'm assuming you came off your 14-day ban within the past 3 months.

Mama Soraka1 votes

I'm gonna back you up on the 3 months number. I keep hearing that one a lot and I feel like I read it in a Red post.

SmokeyzR1 votes

welp that sucks...i was pretty close to dropping a level of punishment

SmokeyzR1 votes

yes i think it was around 2 months ago that the 14 day ban occurred

yup. thats exactly what got you banned. and it was deserved. i have aspergers. and i instantly report people who make fun of autism for hatespeech. [slayer-jinx-catface]

SmokeyzR1 votes

yeah i reread the chat and immediately regretted what i said but it doesn't take what i said back. but how does getting reported in a few games out of hundreds justify a permaban?

DrCyanide1 votes

You didn't change your behavior, that's what got you the permaban. You had a 10-game chat restriction, a 25-game chat restriction, and a 2-week ban as warnings that you needed to stop talking like this.

SmokeyzR1 votes

actually i got 1 chat restriction and a 2 week ban but thats besides the point...i have improved yes..i was toxic all the time before and now i haven't been as toxic...how are you able to judge if i have improved or not?

Keep in mind that it's unlikely that the games sent to you were the only games in the case that led to this judgment. That's not to say it's impossible (hate speech does accelerate a case, after all), but it's pretty doubtful.

I also wonder about any previous punishments you may have received. Typically, the system scales punishment based on repeated offenses, on a ladder that looks something like this:

  • 10-game chat restriction
  • 25-game chat restriction
  • 14-day time ban
  • perma-ban

It's possible - even likely - that you skipped some of those steps due to escalation, but it's fairly rare for a player to skip from nothing to perma.

As a final note, while the hate speech was certainly the most egregious thing in those logs, they are nevertheless full of persistent negativity, which is also punishable. So, while I cannot say whether those logs are inherently worthy of a permaban without knowing the history of your account, I can certainly say that they are worthy of punishment.

im pretty sure i got 1 of the chat restrictions and then the 2 week ban beforehand. im not saying that i shouldnt have been punished but rather questioning the severity of the punishment

The severity of the punishment is not based exclusively on the behavior shown in these logs. Rather, it's based on the consistency of your behavior, evidenced by the previous punishments. So all that matters, here, is that the behavior was punishable - the fact that you had been sitting on a 2-week ban is what made that punishment a perma-ban.

game 1 my support was trolling and then everyone was flaming...what i said wasn't even bad ....game 2 i was talking to my duo most of the time and it wasnt directed at anyone....and game 3 the ez mid trolled our team and reported us ....perspective

game 1 my support was trolling and then everyone was flaming...what i said wasn't even bad ....

Doesn't mean that you should join the flame like an idiot. Plus, calling people to stfu/trash/uninstall is already considered bad enough.

game 2 i was talking to my duo most of the time and it wasnt directed at anyone....

And you're also playing with 3 other people who are complete strangers to you, and they don't know you guys are even a duo. I'm very sure some of those chats were directed to someone either in your team or enemies.

and game 3 the ez mid trolled our team and reported us ....perspective

And you thought trash-talking is the solution because....?

SmokeyzR1 votes

game 2 they knew we were duo because we stated it in champ select.. and when i was talking to malph it was fun banter back and forth lol game 3 i barely said anything and game 1 i just responded badly to myself getting flamed

Ruin Lance2 votes

telling people that they're trash is toxic asking what's wrong with people is toxic telling someone that they are an idiot is toxic saying "ff" is toxic saying "ez" is toxic and bad sportsmanship saying that someone has autism is toxic

SmokeyzR1 votes

for one ez is a champ named ezreal if you didnt know. and yes i know the thing about autism was bad...but tell me how is saying ff toxic? its me wanting to get out of that game and onto another game that is winnable. asking whats wrong with you isnt toxic either. i dont really get your logic lol

46104328_DEL1 votes

I don't think you get it yet. Saying GG is toxic Saying Hello is Toxic Disagreeing is Toxic Saying Toxic is toxic Asking for help is toxic.

SmokeyzR1 votes

yeah well thats pretty much how i feel right now....wish there was an option to permamute yourself but i would probably still get banned for being toxic

46104328_DEL1 votes

Probably, since Riot can't figure out that people know they get salty, and want to mute themselves, but they won't allow it. It's all a scam dude, hence the auto-ban-bot vs Tribunal. Tribunal read the match and the chat and have empathy. Auto-ban-bot just bans, meaning you have to give Riot more money for your champs and skins. Just accept that you're free. and go. You win.

Tbh the report system needs to be re balanced in my opinion , i recently had the 14 day ban and honestly the report system doesn't acknowledge what exactly goes on a in a match it just goes after whos feeling buthurt that match and sides with them like honestly someone trolling or intentionally feeding should be treated equal and looked equally with the butthurt people , cus riot put in a mute button u can just mute the toxic shit , but u cannot contorl the troll and intentional feeders. basically with the current system we have to tolerate the trolling and not say anything ??? were human we have to speak on the trolls at some point in the match . players shouldnt be able to abuse the report system when there also at fault too [zombie-brand-facepalm] r

SmokeyzR1 votes

yeah...its just really disheartening that i get permabanned while others who are way more toxic than me get to roam freely.

46104328_DEL1 votes

Let's not forget the feeders/trolls/leavers/gamethrowers/etc that run around ruining hundreds of games without any fear of retribution..and when they're caught, they get slapped with the same slap on the wrist CR that you do for getting salty once.

46104328_DEL1 votes

It's worse than that. If you do mute, you can STILL be banned, because your chat goes to the muted as well for some jank ass reason. As I said, it's all a scam. they auto-ban so they can get people to give them more money.
