Calling this out on a public forum just in case Riot doesn't (Please take a moment)

I'm unsure if this forum post will violate some sort of forum regulation, but frankly, I don't care. I think anyone willing to read this, and even those that aren't, need to know. I'll get right to it. There's a user on the rift with the summoner name "Kill All %%%%%%s". He's allegedly championed this name for 4 months without penalty. I know that I and several others in the match reported him, but if his claims of for months of penalty evasion are true, that might not do anything. What's just as bad is that other members of the game would applaud his name, chiming in with unsavory racist knocks of their own. Now, as a young black man, I'm not quick to jump on the "racist" band wagon. I've received funny looks for being in public with my not black girlfriend, I've been prohibited from dating people in the past because of my race, etc etc etc and I shrug all of that off because, well the simple answer is it's life. Shit happens. But imagine what this person right here might do to the psyche of children that can't even go play a damn video game without seeing "Kill All %%%%%%s," passing as an acceptable summoner name. As I said before, I know shit happens, and every little idiotic episode isn't worth making a fuss about. It's really the fact that other people were actually endorsing the name that made me want to bring it to the public forum. I hope this isn't okay with you guys. And if I find that I AM in a community where this is largely okay (which I doubt) then I need to go play another game.

I don't think he's played for a while. He might've been banned for it and can't change it (or has been flagged for a name change but hasn't logged in to do it).

when I see a offensive name, I tend to report it. I think it's important as a gaming community we come together to curb all the negative crap we see in game that no one would dare say to real people in life (with a few exceptions of course).

I don't know to who you refer, but trust that I will report offensive names.

A player with an offensive name! Must warn everyone immediately!!! My gosh!!!

Parents shouldn't allow young children to play online games in the first place. They will be exposed to much worse than a guy with an offensive screen name. Think of all the kids on mics in Call of Duty and the things they hear. Why would you expose your child to that? I think it's a parenting problem, firstly.

I report offensive names, but oftentimes I tend to forget to do so.

If you look at whats happening around the internet you will find way worse stuff in different games than someone simply putting something like that up.
