Restriction on hextech loot. Neverending?

So about two weeks prior to the launch of hextech crafting I was given a 5 game chat restriction. Not making any excuses, after losing 5 or 6 ranked games in a row to silly things like leavers and trolls, even I was disturbed at how upset I was at this silly game. I took my punishment, have had no prior punishments, and I have since had a much more level head while solo queueing. It's been two weeks, and I still have no idea how much longer it will be until I will be eligible for rewards again. I posted a ticket, and the answer I got disappointed me. They said that you will regain privileges after signs of "clear improvement". Well, what does that mean? Like I said, I haven't had any incidents aside from the occaisional angry kid who reports everyone for nothing. What do I need to do? Dance for Riot? Queue nothing support for an entire day? Cause I will. I feel like I've been in the doghouse far longer than my minor offense and lack of a prior criminal record warrants, and I just don't understand why I haven't been told when I get to come out of the doghouse and rejoin society. If anybody could shed some light on Riots criteria for "clear improvement" it would be much appreciated, as I would very much like to actively strive to have my restrictions lifted. I want the lootz, man.

I'm assuming that you have to wait an entire season to be able to reap rewards from Hextech Crafting, similar to Ranked borders. It's somewhat similar to criminal records in this way.

Correct me if I'm wrong though, because these are just my thoughts.

An entire season????? Does that not seem a little extreme for such a minor punishment??? If that's the case then I'm pretty upset about that. The infraction occured before I even knew the hextech loot was a thing and now I have to sit here and watch everyone else enjoy it? talk about not fair. Please tell me there is some sort of appeals system where I can speak with a representative and mediate this out?

My bad, I was wrong. It appears that you have to "improve your behavior" before you can participate in this. I'm thinking this means not getting any reports.

We're working on putting out a better explanation for this. For players that are punished by the Instant Feedback system and work off the punishment, they will still be restricted from earning Hextech chests or keys for a period while the system ensures that they have reformed their behavior. There is no fixed interval here - if you continue to play with sportsmanlike behavior, you'll eventually get back into good standing. We're looking into making a player's status more clear/visible to help avoid this kind of confusion.

Just keep up the positive vibes! It's good to see somebody actually taking their bans, and not screaming at Riot or something. I don't think I know any more about regaining the privileges, but maybe if you get honored a ton, they might unban you.

But dancing for Riot also works...

Trust me, Papa Rito loves the dances
