Stop making threads about being banned when Riot makes every effort to inform the players of rules

You all need to stop whining about bans. Riot has very clearly ~~stated in the agreement what will get you banned,~~ ~~put the summoner's code somewhere in the client~~, ~~made a video to inform players of what acceptable behavior consists of~~, ~~stayed consistent with what will and what won't receive punishment as far as in-game actions and picks,~~ and ~~stayed consistent with the punishment of custom skin users.~~

And for clarity, I made sure to cross out the things Riot hasn't done to inform the playerbase of the rules. It should be really obvious what Riot will or won't ban you for. So stop complaining when they've been so clear about the rules, and you've so clearly broken them.

I think they are coy as to what they punish for two reasons: 1) to prevent users from being as lowly toxic as possible to avoid getting punished and more importantly 2) to keep punishment/reportable action in the hands of the players.

But they have stepped in to clarify more egregious and more obscure cases.

The first would be perfectly fine. I could stand getting a "man, you need to learn to play Tristana" every game if it means that, "Hey Tristana kill yourself" will get banned. Frankly, what would fly under that "lowest amount of toxicity allowed" rule would just be the normal advice that salty players misconstrue and report anyway. It'd be a good thing.

Punishment should not be in the hands of the players. There are far too many who report when told how to build for the players to be entrusted with something like that.
