First time bann and it is 14 days?

ashah·Jul 28, 2017·0 votes·572 views

Hey to start off I probably deserve the ban but I was just curious how this happens? I mean I got banned for a joke that some of team was laughing at so I thought it was okay. I understand it could offend someone so I am not here to question the ban just wondering how I get a 14 day ban right away.

Here is my chat log if anyone is curious: I was playing taric in aram

ashah24: GEMS %%%GOT ashah24: faker is that you ashah24: look st my walk ashah24: the fuck was that ashah24: GEMS %%%GOT ashah24: you know what is real GEMS %%%GOT ashah24: that wall though ashah24: my gems could do better

Sorry if I offend anyone really wasn't my intention.

They probably took it as hate speech. if I had to guess, %%%got was what got you banned. Hate speech > normal hate.

That is what I figured but thanks for the comment. I am just curious why the %%%got word got me 14 day ban if have never been banned before.

you dont know why that word would be deemed offensive ?

really?

No I know why it is deemed offensive. I didn't think I would get 14 day for that. But as people explained it is considered hate speech didn't think it fell under that. Once sorry if it offended anyone but that was never my intention i was using pink taric and go carried away.

i understand its not your intention... sadly that isnt how the filter works ... it just sees the text not the context .

just remember unless its productive to the game (flaming /raging isnt btw) your chat usually isnt a concern.

Just don't do it again. Riot has a strict zero tolerance policy for racial/homophobic slurs. Saying them in any context after your ban is over would be grounds for a permanent suspension.

It's all about delivery. The word itself should have no offense carried, so saying it like he did shouldn't be an issue unless he had knowledge that the target was gay.

It's like calling a white person a nig**r and said white person taking offense.

The word was used for hundreds of years without people complaining, it is just a very loud minority trying to feel victimized.

right and the N word was perfectly fine til what it was used for during the slavery period of the south of the united states

it is what it refers to now not what it was...

but words among others are derogatory towards a class and/or race of people , they both imply racial and homophobic notions. which is consider to be hate speech.

and the word was consider a slur before the homosexual community cried out over it... it was use to strip someone of their masculinity just as using the word btch , wh**re , sut , ect towards females

So you can't insult someone without it being hate speech? I'm not even talking talking just in game. You're saying that whre and slt are hate speech.

Hate speech is where you are flinging insults because of someone's background. Insulting a minority isn't hate speech unless you are only doing it because they are a minority. If you don't like them on a personal level and call them a slur, it isn't hate speech, it is just a slur.

oSEXYPLATYPUSoJul 28, 20171 votes

well if you are insulting them then how is it not hate speech?

you are being hateful towards that person who you chose to insult.

if you hate a person and insult them using a slur it is coming from a place of hate , towards that person and then you go to use what ever slur to include something regarding their looks, intelligence, sex, sexual preferences, racial , religion , creed, nationality, etc

there is no reason for it... regardless of how you feel towards that person...

IF YOU CANT SAY ANYTHING NICE DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.

The word "thine" was used for hundreds of years. Now it's considered archaic and no longer used.

Language evolves and words become hateful and traumatizing sometimes.

This word being discussed is still being thrown at teenagers and young adults while they are beaten and chased out of their houses by their own family members. If you think that word is okay to utter in a public place with strangers, I dare you to go to your nearest restaurant and start repeatedly and loudly calling people that. Watch yourself get kicked out.

Ill make it more fitting.

Ill dress up in fuzzy pink clothes and throw glitter at people while saying "have some sparkles %%%got".

Completely changes the context of it.

ChermorgJul 28, 20172 votes

You'd still get kicked out. Context doesn't matter with hate speech. It's hate speech regardless of whether it's directed at someone or not.

It has absolutely no place in public situations or in League.

Off to the Riot gulags with you, no sense of humor in our games, just a bunch of Sensitive Sally's who spent their life in last place despite thinking the world owes them something.

You are flagged for homophobia and its an instant 14 day ban. You should probably stop using that word if you want to keep your acc

oSEXYPLATYPUSoJul 28, 20171 votes

you said not once but 3 times the word ***got , the system looks for these key words and punishes you for them and chances are you got reported.

just be very very careful now that you got a 14 day ban you are on a razor thin edge to get a permabanned at next offense regardless how little of the offense

it's so hilarious to me that this game tries to stop people from being dicks to each other.

While the word itself can often be used as hate speech, in this case it's self referential - he's talking about himself, or at least, his own champion. If I were you I'd make a support ticket explaining this, there's a chance you'd get it removed, or at least, changed so you're not one toxic game away from permaban.

Yeah I mean I wasn't directing it towards anybody. But I will just accept the punishment I mean I know what I did was wrong just didn't expect someone to think that I was directing it towards them. I am not to worded about getting banned again because I am not toxic at all towards anyone. I will just turn off chat for the rest of my time playing. Thanks for the advice though.
