Game 1 Standapanda0017: fuck him (Shaco ) Standapanda0017: taking mah red and blue Standapanda0017: ffffffff Standapanda0017: fuck (Shaco killed me with summoner 14) Standapanda0017: summoner 14 is for %%%s (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=%%%got&defid=1127498) Standapanda0017: sry zilean (who had summoner 14 as well) Standapanda0017: but fuck ignite (here Zilean was saying something about not knowing what i said) Standapanda0017: sry zilean Standapanda0017: i just called you a %%%got (Zilean: Who cares?) Standapanda0017: i thought you would (Zilean talking about reporting me for "flaming") Standapanda0017: who's flaming? Standapanda0017: i just said ignite is for %%%s Standapanda0017: shite Standapanda0017: they are so fucking salty :D (referring to the enemy team) Standapanda0017: no skill champs (enemy team considers Tryndamere MasterYi Zilean as noob champs) Standapanda0017: gg

So I am wondering what is so "excessively inflammatory and offensive" about my behaviour in this game and if a 14 day ban is a fair "punishment" Have any of you been banned and found it unfair? Let me know MasterYi

Riot has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to hate speech such as "%%%s". If you use derogatory terms like this, you will be quickly banned.

Best not to use those words, even if you think they're "not that bad" or disagree with the definition.

It's not just a "bad word". Fuckity fuck fuck.

It's a slur. It's hate speech. It's used to tear down people for simply being themselves, and is often a rallying cry to restrict the rights of LGBTQ individuals. It's ugly, hateful, and to some, terrifying.

I would also like to apologize if this IS really offensive

He didn't even harass anyone, he just said that ignite is for %%%s joking, not a fair ban imo.

As others have said, this is indeed a very offensive word. Any word that denigrates a group of people as one of its meanings isn't acceptable.

Even if it only DID mean "stupid" you're also still saying "Ignite is for idiots" in a game where people have Ignite, which isn't cool. Don't call other players idiots. Definitely don't call them slurs.
