Witch hunts and sharing stories of toxic players with names should be encouraged.

The boards shouldn't have this policy. Irl, if someone tells me to kill myself and talks about how they raped my mother, I will be like "Woah guess what this crazy guy named Bob Saget said to me today! Here's a video of him doing it!"

These deplorables never actually get banned and are in every single game, so not being able to share how ridiculous they are is just giving more power to them.

Edit: I bet 100% of all downvotes are toxic players that like getting away with being deplorables every game.

The biggest problem with this is that it could very easily hurt a lot of innocent players. I mean, what's to stop a troll from sharing a story about a "toxic" player who actually didn't do anything depicted in the story, causing a witch hunt against this completely innocent player?

Shove that PC culture right up your ass. Protecting the innocent by protecting the guilty is not protecting anyone.

Witch hunts do not end well at all. In the end, there will be much more innocent people being affected by it than guilty, which does Riot and the community no good.

Besides, what would allowing witch hunts accomplish anyway? You spread the name of a supposed toxic player, and bunch of people see the name, add the player on League, and start shit talking and harassing that person. Then what? As players, we don't really have the power to issue any actual punishments. I mean, we can report others, but only Riot can actually hand out punishments, so learning the names of supposedly toxic players really doesn't do much for us.

You're right, let's get rid of the presumption of innocence. Let's also get rid of lawyers and fair trials... you know what, let's just get rid of the entire concept of laws. You know, all of those protect the guilty after all.

Aaaaand there's your problem with witch hunts. People jumping to conclusions on the tiniest bit of supposed "evidence".

But what about people who lie? I mean people already do this in real life an drew when they are caught lying nothing happens to them,but when the person in question was hit they get blasted when little to no evidence aregiven about them.

The main reason why witch hunting isn't a thing on here isn't because we should be reporting people for what they are doing that instant. Not because of what they did in a past game or because someone told me to. It's a horrible way to do things and will more than likely get innocent people punished than the people who do deserve it!

Now if you have evidence and reported them but still want justice you can always contact suppprt. They won't tell you what happen but that's mainly because it's only te business of the person in question and Riot!

You're responsible for the actions on your account. It's in the terms of service, which you obviously didn't read. Are words hard?

You only replied to the comment without good reasoning. The first comment answers your question exactly.

Hey guys. This Satirical Butler is going around bashing the intelligence of people who disagree with him. Thumb him down in the forums when you see him and make sure to report him in-game.

Witch hunt has no benefits at all. You just want all of us to search for that guy just to talk crap at him, so that you can feel good about it by revealing him.
