So, recently I got a chat restriction from one game that I just couldn't handle any more and I just snapped. After all day of being positive to people while they were constantly being negative, I just couldn't take it anymore. Other than that game (swears after swears), there was a few others where one, I either only swore because I was saying "fuck i stole your kill" or "wtf that ahri somehow killed me bull shit LOL" or two, somebody in champion select told me to say something in game, and I did, "everybody in spam in chat alex is a fucking nigge*" and so I did, because I felt like having fun. I don't get why how in one game, a few reports that actually were true, can get me banned, while in a few other games, people like the enemy abuse the report system just because they were either salty because they lost, or they just got tilted and decided to report everybody for no reason. Mean while, while I'm over here getting chat restricted for one game, there are other players who constantly flame and swear almost every sentence, and who are lucky enough that people don't take the extra 3 seconds that it takes to report somebody. And on top of that, I know that they don't get punished! Please, riot, I beg of you, that you take the time to look over reports, and see what is actually punishable or not. Because in cases like mine, the majority of the reports are complete bs, and because you have the Tribunal set on auto-punish, players who have one-two bad games get punished, while the other ones who have "bad games" every game are left untouched. Thank you for taking the time to read my rant. I just hope a riot employee sees this...

lol down voted for posting the code of conduct... apparently you never read it so maybe that is why you got punished

CooL Ice Tea3 votes

tbh i downvotet because you posted that 30 secs into and i would bet you posted it without reading. And for copy pasta you dont get rewards.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo6 votes

with out reading what? the OP ? i read it he is crying how its not fair he decided to be a verbally abusive assclown and get punished... so i posted the tos so he can know what is and isnt allowed.

but its cool go ahead and hate... instead of educating the community

CooL Ice Tea3 votes

its not like he doesnt know that he did sth wrong and the reports are worth.

As i said, didnt read.

Post the chat logs, the boards can look over them.

Also: Riot has a zero-tolerance rule for hate speech if that was the reason.

The Vag1 votes

I thought about doing that, but last time I did it (this same thing happened to me another time on a different account) I got a lot of hate for that, so I'd rather not.

LostFr0st1 votes

Gonna be harder then, but I'll give it a go:

One game, unless it's blatant hate speech, will not get someone permabanned. It has to be a history of it, since the system has levels (you know this.) Coarse language if not directed at anyone won't get you banned either unless super excessive (not even sure if that would do it?). It's directing that language at players that makes it reportable.

there was a few others where one, I either only swore because I was saying "fuck i stole your " or "wtf that ahri somehow killed me bull shit LOL"

If that was the extent of it, again not really actionable. They account for saltyness and know people are passionate for the game.

or two, somebody in champion select told me to say something in game, and I did, "everybody in spam in chat alex is a fucking nigge*" and so I did, because I felt like having fun.

facepalm why would you even do that....

I don't get why how in one game, a few reports that actually were true, can get me banned,

One report will flag the system to review the game; multiple reports do nothing.

while in a few other games, people like the enemy abuse the report system just because they were either salty because they lost, or they just got tilted and decided to report everybody for no reason.

The reports are checked if they're valid or not before they're acted on, false reports do absolutely nothing. They're worthless.

Mean while, while I'm over here getting chat restricted for one game,

Can't be one game unless it was the hate speech; how many games were in the logs? I know that's supposed to be a sampling of the games that brought attention to your account.

there are other players who constantly flame and swear almost every sentence, and who are lucky enough that people don't take the extra 3 seconds that it takes to report somebody. And on top of that, I know that they don't get punished!

How do you know if they got punished or not? Maybe they're on their way up the escalation system right now? What they did doesn't make what you did any more pardonable. Everyone is responsible for their own actions, and we (as players) have collectively decided (through reporting it over and over) what is punishable and they made the system with those parameters. It's not Riot's rules technically, it's the players of NA's rules.

Please, riot, I beg of you, that you take the time to look over reports, and see what is actually punishable or not. Because in cases like mine, the majority of the reports are complete bs, and because you have the Tribunal set on auto-punish,

I'm pretty sure the only thing really on instant auto-punish is leaverbuster :/

players who have one-two bad games get punished, while the other ones who have "bad games" every game are left untouched. Thank you for taking the time to read my rant. I just hope a riot employee sees this...

I hope you get a red too; I wish you luck on your quest.

Yes, there was one game on the chat logs.

LostFr0st1 votes

There was hate speech though, so you definitely got off easy on this one. Definitely outside your normal attitude otherwise you'd have got much worse for that.

MagicFlyingLlama3 votes

Yes, you could control yourself. "I cant control myself" is just an excuse for not trying.

The Vag1 votes

I never said that I couldn't control my self, because I can. But sometimes you just let your anger go, which is why I used "snapped"

MagicFlyingLlama1 votes

IE; you failed to control yourself.

Troll Armada1 votes

so true, happens to me too, although since in real life I don't use racial slurs, I don't in rage either....but that's only marginally better, I've gotten a temporary chat ban as well, after 2 years of nothing but positivity and teamwork ribbons, it didn't matter, a couple stalkers and fake accounts can provoke you to the point of a chat ban.

Those accounts will be botted up to 30 and sold before they get punished. Welcome to League.

I think the important thing to remember is that most of the bizarre chat which happens after someone dies or whatever, is written down in a text file and spewed out semi-randomly, it's called a 'humanizer' (it's one kind) and it sounds fake and stupid to you, but it's good enough to fool Riot support. So maybe if you know that most of those accounts are usually 1 person, and the rest bots it will help not to respond.
