The Riot moderator will probably delete this further proving their complicity with this stuff but this is the average level of conversation in this game. And if you protest it they will penalize you not the person threatening rape or violence. I have had direct threats of violence and rape along with claims of %%%%philia about a couple of games in a row now. Riot's response is closing my tickets. If they let it get to the community, I think you should be aware.
Oleandervine8 votesPeople spouting bullshit in a game is not cyber crime. Cyber crime is like hacking or phishing, not "threatening" you with hollow juvenile garbage that they can't possibly act upon unless someone you're with in your own home is making those threats to you. If you reported those people, that's all you could do, and likely why your tickets were closed by support. You took the proper channels by reporting them, and unless they were threatening you literally the entire game, support wouldn't really need to look into it if the automated system is already handling it.
Pyrosan6 votesyeah it happens just report and move on
???
JustDonnyy3 votesThe people saying all this stuff are likely under the age of 18 and probably still in High School. Just report and move on.
Tele II2 votesJesus... report them. Thats all.
PaulaSmums2 votesI did but Riot banned me instead haha. Its just iconic.

Yeah Riot is pretty fair about their punishments. Theyll punish anyone breaking the rules, so you can be pretty sure that the person who said those things got their punishment too, at least. They dont give anyone a pass.
PaulaSmums2 votesI am from a family of lawyers. Threatening to rape and kill someone online on any platform is a federal crime. Educate yourself. I don't mean to sound bitter or mean but you can take it lightly, not everyone does. Hiding behind a screen and joking about raping a 2 year old does not make it okay.
Imperial Pandaa2 votesThen you should probably ask your family for guidance. Because chances are, the person would get a punishment, but that probably isn't good enough for a 'federal level' crime.

If your family members are lawyers, then I doubt they would recommend talking about it on a public forum before taking legal action. Is what the person did ok? No. Does that make it so Riot investigates these issues? No, as well. They are not obligated, but id you feel it necessary, then report the crime to the proper authorities: 1) the local police in your jurisdiction (city, county or state) or 2) the FBI.
Interestingly, though, saying your from a family of lawyers, so you know about the law is like saying my brother is a mechanic, so I know a lot about cars. While I may know a bit more about how to do maintenance, that does not mean that i know everything about motor vehicles.
PaulaSmums2 votesOkay you seem to be really insistent on making something not trivial seem trivial but I'll be the patient person here. I have also studied law and being in the family does increase awareness about it. It has been reported criminally soon as it happened and that investigation is on. The issue, separate from the rape and death threats is Riot banning me for pretty much simply saying, "hey this is not okay". Taking action against someone for protesting harassment is considered complicit. I don't know how else to spell this out for you but anyway that was not even my main point. I am talking about it to raise awareness about it because yes there are many people who will stand by Riot, even if Riot essentially shields people who do make such threats and remarks, but there are also people with more of a conscience and moral compass than that. Riot's investigation is private so i know nothing about it, however their action against me for pretty much just protesting what is basically cyber violence is highly problematic and to my understanding pretty much complicit harassment. I don't have enough time to explain this again to you so I hope this clears things.

There is no trivialization. You claim (as far as I can see without evidence) that all you said was "hey this is not okay". Based on what I have seen here watching this sub-board, nearly every time, this is not the whole story. If you truly only said that, then I would open a support ticket and have them review it, Also, you could paste your chat logs from the incident, and we can try to analyze what may have earned the punishment. We cannot say definitively, Riot support can give you a definite answer, though.
Speaking of punishment, if this was a permanent ban, then it was not likely your first offense. Even the most egregious chat violation only warrants a 2-week suspension for the first offense. Again, if this was the first one, then a permanent ban was likely erroneous, and again, i direct you to Riot Support.
You accuse Riot of protecting the offenders and complicity in their actions. What I have seen is equal justice being served to both the instigator and any others who respond/join in. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I am guessing that you repeated the phrase(s) the offender used. If writing the disgusting chat is against the rules for them, it is equally against the rules for you as well. There is no need to do that. Hell, there isn't even a need to respond AT ALL. You could have muted the person, reported them after game, and reported them to law enforcement. Your response (or as some people try to say "defending one's self") is neither required nor desired.
I hope, for your sake, it was a erroneous punishment. and that justice is served.
zPOOPz1 votesand? do these lawyers family of yours not "educate" you on how to properly report it to the correct people? In case they didn't, Rito is not the correct people to report "cyber crime". Educate yourself.
PaulaSmums2 votesThe crime has been reported. Pay attention when you read or read slower so you register the words. Riot banned me for simply protesting this behavior which is complicit harassment. If you need me to draw you a diagram to "educate" you, let me know.
I Like Teemo1 votesthat sucks man.. sorry to hear the Chinese investors of riot are silencing you
#######FreeChina
PaulaSmums2 votesDon't worry, I am not one to be silenced haha. This is getting to every single avenue of justice possible <3
I Like Teemo1 votesthey are trying real hard to silence me too, 12 down votes feels bad man
League of Lepers1 votesThink about what you are saying. Really think about it. Do you know how many people throw around immature banter on multiplayer games about rape and violence?
Anyway, Riot would have their hands quite full if they tried to make a case out of every player that makes stupid rape jokes. It's disgusting, sure, but do you expect Riot to police all of that? And if they passed this information to the authorities, they would not be taken seriously whatsoever. Instead, they use an automated system that looks at this stuff and does, in fact, ban the players involved.
And I highly, highly, HIGHLY, doubt that anyone seriously threatened you. It's doubtful they know where you are from or even know your name.

Moreover some of those players have not only hinted personal details about me but also that they are associated with Riot, which I have ample evidence of so the threat isnt' made up at all.
League of Lepers1 votesRiot essentially shields people who do make such threats and remarks
No, they do not. As I said, the reporting system is designed to take these people down. Sometimes it takes longer than what we would like, but it works quite well.
And let's be honest here. These people do not work for Riot, nor do you have evidence that they do. If you really did have this evidence, then you would make sure Riot knew about this personally so that these employees were fired and possibly prosecuted.
