Is there a way to know the weight given to our reports?

Riot mentioned that they check the validity of reports and reduce the weight of reports coming from people making a lot of invalid reports.

Problem is, we can never know --at least, not that I am aware of-- if our reports are valid or not. And on the other hand, we are encouraged to use the report system to "teach" the system what we deem unsportsmanlike and all. So, don't we risk devaluating our own reports without even realizing it?

And above all, I'm just curious and would like to know where I stand... ^^'

Nah, I disagree with most arguments in your other thread. I won't go in details here, but basically, your deductions are rather blurry and/or assume false report detection and report weights are totally unrelated, which is probably not the case.

Thing is, the system is supposed to both rate our reports and learn from them at the same time. It's a bit as if your teachers had to grade you while not knowing the lesson themselves. It's not impossible, but it's a bit strange, and it would be good for users to have some feedback about it.

They have a system in-place where you can get a in depth view on your accounts report history and report values. They charge money for it though.

Hmm, last I checked it only tells you how many time you got reported for each category of reports. Nothing about the reports you made yourself and especially nothing about the weight the system gives you.

Am I mistaken? I'm curious enough to pay $5 to get that info (the manuscript letter is much more annoying xD), but I'd hate to pay for nothing.

I could be wrong, I would double check with riot to see if the data you want is included.(ticket).

I have no idea if reporting using the "AFK" reason does anything. Even though I've seen several people who have never connected to the game, and reported them afterwards for "AFK", I have never gotten any message about it. Note that I have gotten several Report Feedbacks when reporting for Unsportsmanlike Conduct, so I have a decent report weight, I'm just wondering if "AFK" reports have any real purpose.

For this specific reason, I know the system is able to detect most obvious cases (their name appears red in the stats screen in the end). So reporting them does nothing more. I think the AFK reports is for people rage-quitting a few minutes before the end and that the automatic detection didn't flag fast enough, or the people who disconnect multiple times during the game but are here and active at the end.
