Does saying "KYS" also trigger an instant ban if it's been said in the post game lobby chat?

Hi,

just curious about the title, have had a friend who almost never plays league banned for this instantly after the game. Literally straight after, no wait. And today someone said it to me in a ranked game in post game chat, I reported that individual but I didn't get an instant feedback report. with the message he wrote copied pasted into the description.

I'm under the impression that instant feedback report is given to players who were the latest in reporting that individual. (which would be me) Yet I still haven't gotten it and it's been a while now.

Is it possible that you can say whatever you want in post game lobby and it won't be flagged? even things such as "kys" ?

Also, if there is a Rioter or a mod or someone I can talk to, to tell them which player it was(for them to verify) then please, let me know where :)

Edit: I just refreshed his op.gg and it appears hes played more games after telling me to KYS. Just wow. Looks like post game chat doesn't get flagged if you've said nothing/not much in game.

It gets caught afaik. Pre and post game stuff was added to the chat logs recently, so they obviously collect them and the bot does look at them.

You don't get notifications every time. You get them more often when zero-tolerance rules are broken, but it's not a guarantee.

I believe the most information you would receive would be that an investigation has been created as a result of your report. You would not be told if they got banned.

I understand that it may seem important for you to know that the system is working to eliminate this behavior. Just report the behavior and move on. It is unlikely that you would see that player again, even if they didn't get banned. No need to continue to concern yourself with them.

Pre-game, in game, or post-game, it all gets scanned.

You don't always get the notification that someone you reported is punished though.

Anything in the post- or pre-game chat counts just as much as anything said in-game.

It has been mentioned before that pre and post-game lobby chats are indeed recorded and checked, so I assume that your friend's mention did raise a red light for the banning system.

You have to report it. It will get reviewed and punishments will be doled out appropriately.
