So i got banned for being "verbally abusive", in the games they showed me that wasnt the case, the only thing i said is that im gonna report a player of our team since he started trolling like: he was support and taking farm from all laners, writing in all-chat where our team members are in the enemy side of the map, he ran alone into 4 enemys. But i got banned for saying hat we should report him since he also was very abusive in the chat, but to him nothing happened at all.... So Riots banning "rules" are litterally sh*t

Is it on a different account? You only have a 10-game chat restriction for constantly telling everyone on your team how bad they are, how they don't know how to play, and how they are wood 5.

I noticed you had free time to post on this persons post. Perhaps you could head to my thread and shed some light to help me?

Cheers

talking about wood 5... when will we get a new division below bronze? according to what i found via google, bronze 5 would be a 850 elo in the old system. a friend of mine back then was at ~450 elo. so you could say he legit was wood 5. (now he is plat rofl). so when do we get a new divison so ppl hard stuck in bronze 5, that are actually WAY BELOW BRONZE 5 dont have the feeling to never get out?

This is my problem with toxic people. No creativity. All they do is spout the same insult they hear. No personalization. No flair.

I have a 2 week ban for spending 15 or so seconds cursing my team out for flaming me in champion select. I'd imagine it'd be completely justified to ban for whatever. Even if it was from a clean record.

"Cursing my team out" -that's what got you. You can curse infrequently, just don't direct it at someone. The person you're directing it at didn't want to see it, and the other people in the game don't either.

Yes, fun fact, "cursing my team out" did indeed get me, in fact, it got me a 14-day ban. For spending 15 seconds to finish fighting out what was started in champion select. Perfectly reasonable.

I wasn't being sarcastic at all.

You cursed your team out. That got you punished. I'm failing to see what's wrong with that.

You failed to see that i got BANNNED for cursing my team out? A total of 5 or so sentences in one breath, going straight from clean record to a ban.

You admit in another post that you used extremely offensive language.

Thus yes, you did get an immediate ban. You should be lucky Riot even gave you a chance - you should've known better and not needed a punishment to realize that.

are you crazy? i needed a two week ban to inform me that using the word c u n t is fucking unacceptable? how fucking hardheaded are you?

perhaps if riot gave a bloody list of words not to be used, but they're vague as fuck about it and just go "don't be toxic" so i let out a stream of frustration for 15 seconds to get banned for it, while others can go run it down mid every 2 games and still be fine, you're a bloody mess of a community

From Ulanopo's Knowledge Base:

“The Summoner’s Code is too nebulous. I need to know what I can’t say.”

Riot is never going to tell you because people will use that information to skirt the edge of impropriety. Here’s a simple list of things that will almost always get you punished:

  • Criticizing anyone’s skill.
  • Any racist, homophobic, sexist or ethnic slur.
  • Spamming. (A good rule of thumb is never say anything more than twice.)
  • Asking for reports.
  • Threatening, blackmailing or bullying your team in any way. This specifically includes any reference to going AFK, feeding or aiding the enemy.
  • Anything that could be construed as you not doing your best (“I’m not helping bot any more!”, for example).
  • Whining, especially if it’s about your team not surrendering.

Basically, you should avoid anything you would not say at the funeral of a loved one or during the interview for your dream job.

"Basically, you should avoid anything you would not say at the funeral of a loved one or during the interview for your dream job." You're fucking joking right? I don't care if these are actually punishable, I care that using a curse word that isn't even a racist slur asks for a 2 week ban from nothing. As far as I'm concerned, Riot only cares about black slurs because of the pressure that'd come to them otherwise. I have been insulted as a "dumb %%%%%" multiple times before, and I'm tracking all of them that I've reported, they were not punished in any way shape or form close to the punishment I got for cursing. Utterly fucking ridiculous, you all need to get off your high horses and realize how much of a hardass you're all being.

Ever hear of chat restrictions? Those just limit how many messages one can send at a time and don't prevent one from playing the game. Regardless of whether or not you think it's punish worthy there are certain things that aren't considered acceptable regardless of context both here and in the real world, hence the zero-tolerance policy for them, and hence the part you quoted:

Basically, you should avoid anything you would not say at the funeral of a loved one or during the interview for your dream job.

Also, even if other people were acting up the "they started it" excuse doesn't work here, nor did it work in school as fighting fire with fire just makes things worse. I get how frustrating dealing with flamers can be but in those situations it's better to just mute, report and move on rather than add to the flame war.

P.S. I personally don't see the point in tracking people you've reported as it takes time away from other more productive things.

Honestly your ban system should be reserved for real offensive negativity. This is the kind of BS tame flaming that people should be expected to be able to handle. That's sort of riding the line between sarcastic banter and anything remotely resembling toxicity.

Got to pad those ban stats though to show the system is making the community a better place...

So u got banned for pointless chat. Really reports don't stack 9 is the same as 1 there is no need to ask for people to report someone. Asking can actually get you band tho
