Just because someone insults you doesn't give you an exception to the rules to do the same back to them. "Useless shitter" is an insult, but so is "trash bag jungler." Don't insult players, and this won't happen. Just mute them and play on.

how bout you message riot and tell them to implement an auto mute all button for me :) ... if that is a job you are capable of, or are you only capable of giving useless advice and poor solutions?

Definitely a job I'm capable of, yes. Given the tone of the last comment, however, not one I'm especially inclined to do, especially since my suggestion wouldn't convince them any more than yours. I'm just a boards volunteer.

Best of luck in the Smash Bros scene.

Or you could, you know, mute them yourself. Your punishment is your fault. You are responsible for your own behavior. If someone insults you, the rational, mature thing to do is to mute them, move on, and report them after the game. I'm not sure what's so hard to understand about that. All you have to do is hit tab and click the mute button. Why is that so hard?

So let me get this straight, you got punished for calling someone useless in-game, so you come to the boards and then call someone else useless...

I'm sensing a pattern here. Is everyone you disagree with "useless" in your eyes?

Don't mistreat the mods, they're just doing their job. That job includes helping you understand why your punishment was warranted.

Thread title: "<wrong assumption presented as if it were true>... but <system working as intended>"

You can't flame in post game chat any more than you can anywhere else. It still gets reviewed if you get reported. The system is cumulative, and it's possible for bad-game protection to shield someone who's being especially virulent from getting punished immediately for something they say. That doesn't mean the system won't punish them, it just means that you won't be told if it does because it's not immediately after you reported them.

Well.. do you know what their behavioral history is like? The system punishes based on consistency x severity. Other than the super toxic chats (filled with hate speech) that is punished in 1 game, most people will accumulate a bunch of games before they get punished.

If you don't know what other people's behavioral history is like, you really can't go screaming for them to get a punishment.

I have had no warnings prior to my punishment, but saying you are a useless motherfucker in post game lobby seems appropriate and my statement didn't in game chat?...

No-one said it was appropriate. What he said has nothing to do with your punishment though.

How do you know he wasn't punished also?

Yeap. Punishments don't have any warnings (I wished they did) and will hit you like an unexpected truck.

Look at it this way, if you need 100 points to get punished and you started the game with 95 points, you just need 5 points worth of toxicity to get you punished. The other person can be at 40 points, his toxicity in that game is worth 50 points and at the end of that specific game, he won't be punished.

People's history plays a major part in whether or not they get punished.

Btw, useless mother fucker isn't worth 50 toxicity points.

To be fair, you could probably mute everyone manually in the time it would take you to type how useless everyone is.

It depends on how eloquent you want to be. /mute all is pretty easy to type.
