Should The Person Reporting You>>Leading To Suspension/BAN Have Any CREDIBILITY

So I'm starting to think that the banning system of RIOT is flawed.. I mean why ban/suspend players that have no current chat restriction for being TOXIC? This makes absolutely no sense.. It's like jailing an individual for expressing their freedom of speech! Absolutely intolerable and should be changed with the help of people that are banned to create something but I DOUBT that can happen on this board. If you are REPORTED during a CHAT RESTRICTION it MAKES ABSOLUTELY PERFECT sense to Suspend/Ban Players; because that would indicate that you are actually TRYING to be toxic to Other players with the limited amount of chat available.. NOW if there are any arguments bring it

I'd argue it's closer to kicking someone out of a restaurant for shouting insults at other customers. The US does have freedom of speech, but it has reasonable restrictions. Private properties and spaces CAN remove you for speech they dislike -- your neighbor can kick you out of his house for shouting racial slurs at him, and Riot can punish or remove you from its virtual space for doing similar things. So can Facebook, Tumblr, and...well, any web-based company.

I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express.

Free speech doesn't mean you have the right to treat other people like shit lol.

Both of you should be banned, simple.If you don't respect the rules, it doesn't matter who reported you, you'll get punished for that.

I love how people always defend riot with "freedom of speech doesn't protect you from private etc etc kicking you out" and those very same people, are the ones who go bat shit insane, when a church or business doesn't except gays. Double standards, all the time.

Good Afternoon,

When you downloaded League of Legends and created your account, you agreed to RIOT's Terms of Use. Essentially they gave you a contract and you signed it.

Part of these Terms includes the following:

Section 5: Code of Conduct: 5.1. Can I troll, flame, threaten or harass people while using the Riot Services? (No. If you do, you might get banned.)

V. Transmitting or communicating any content which, in the sole and exclusive discretion of Riot Games, is deemed offensive, including language that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, or racially, ethically, or otherwise objectionable;

Furthermore:

2.1. How can my account be suspended or terminated? (If you break the rules, Demacian Justice will be visited upon your account!):

2.1.2. Us. We may terminate or suspend your account if we determine, in our sole discretion, that:

(a) you have violated any part of this Agreement;

(b) we have stopped offering the Riot Services in your region; or

(c) doing so would be in the best interests of our community, the Riot Services, or the rights of a third party.

We may make such determinations, among other ways, by using automated systems and machine learning tools.

Now scroll to the bottom of the Terms: **YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOREGOING AGREEMENT, AND THAT BY SELECTING THE “ACCEPT” BUTTON BELOW OR OTHERWISE USING OR ACCESSING THE RIOT SERVICES, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. **

Basically, you are arguing against something you agreed to when you decided to play the game. Perhaps you should take some time to read the terms and decided whether League is a game you should be playing.

Ps, if you got a 14 day ban, you were extremely toxic. Using hate speech. Why don't you post your chat logs?
