I just finished my promos for Plat 5 and immediately I got 14 day suspension so I went to check to see what I did and all i did was say the word "f.a.g.g.o.t" in all chat. Which I didn't even mean to be homophobic or what not. The only reason why I said "f.a.g.g.o.t" was cause the enemy bard been diving under turret and counter jg me all game. So after I die by him the 4th time, the 5th time he got greedy and died by me so I said "f.a.g.g.o.t" as in a way to trash talk to him for being greedy. I don't think anyone was offended by this and didn't mean to be offensive to anyone I was just relieved after finally getting my revenge on the enemy bard. I'm hoping anyone from riot would review this.

Once your ban is over, try not using hate speech.

I don't think anyone was offended by this

That's where you're wrong.

NEVER assume how strangers get your messages. That's how you get banned.

and didn't mean to be offensive

Yeah, I believe you, but they're not supposed to know that. It's like tellinga joke, it won't be funny just because you wan't it to be, you gotta make it that way.

There’s a zero tolerance policy on hate speech, which is why you were given a 2 week ban. This punishment is unlike to be overturned.

Wait, so, let me get this straight. You're playing League, it's 2018, and yet you're wondering why you can't get away with calling someone a %%%got? Nani dafuq?!

well deserved ban.

Be glad it's only 14 days. Riot is really hardcore when policing certain words. Avoid any slurs/banter in the future. I don't like it either, but it's Riot's game so nothing we can do about it.

If you want a review by Riot Open a Ticket to the support, but i can save you time. They wont lift it. Riot has a 0 tolerance policy towards racism/homophobic/hatespeech. The f-word is on the same Level as the n-word.

You used a derogatory term to insult someone. What did you expect was going to happen? Just because you aren't calling a gay person a F word, doesn't mean you aren't using a homophobic slur...

I read your title. Where's the issue?

HalcyonDweller3/14/2018, 9:29:21 PM2 votes

Others have said enough about why already so I won't go into that.

But keep in mind that after a 14-day ban you're on super thin ice, any punishable behavior at all will result in the next punishment, which just so happens to be a permanent ban.

Be really careful not to say things that could make people want to report you. You don't want to give the system an excuse to review your behavior, because even if you weren't wrong for saying what you said that got you reported, you could have said other things that warrant punishment that the system will still detect.

Next time, just drive over to their houses and call them that to their faces. Riot can't ban you for that >)

Next time you're relieved after you finally get your revenge, try saying:

"Ha, serves you right! :D" in all chat

Well Yeah, Riot games has their policies About homophobia etc... But it is downright idiotic. i Am currently in a similar situation Where riot banned me for 14 days for saying ”%%%land”, ignoring that I wrote ”%%% as in ciggarettes”. They consider me homophobic for using a Word that at least Here in the UK has multiple Meanings. Providing proof and arguing for My Cause got me to ”What matters is the general perception”. Just face it mate, riot games Doesn’t care About it’s community as it is, Only for What They want it to be
