Is it allowed to use specific swear words when (example) making a mistake?

Now I would normally not be very afraid to drop a f*** in the chat when making a mistake since there's a chat filter and people that don't want to hear those words can just turn the filter on. I recently got a 14 days ban and I feel bad for failing the community and myself, but already talked about that in another post/discussion.

What I'm trying to say is... Is it allowed to use swear words that does not target a player or "group" ? I'm not planning on using any of these words, but I got curious.

I do not see this as being toxic nor flaming. Dropping a swear word could trigger the system for some reason.

Now as I said I do not plan on using the words, but got very curious if it's something that can people banned. Feel free to comment your thoughts.

NOTE: Yes, I did post this because of the recent ban I got. It taught me a lesson and I now know that the system works, and want to make sure that other people don't make the same mistake that I did.

NOTE2: This is also just something I wanted the community's though on.

EDIT: Thanks to the community for the quick answers!

yeah as long as people dont report you.

I say some pretty questionable things and Im honor level 5

This far no one has voted "no" which surprised me. I think it's okay if you do not target anyone, but what if they DO report you for it? Will you get in trouble?

Fuck me fuck me. Omg im shit. That banshee is bullshit.

I can type that all day (but not spamming it) and i doubt i would see a single chat restriction.

I've had me cursing in nearly every game I play since season 2 and I never got a penalty. I'm always directing it at myself though

Idk. I rarely type. but I cuss when i do type. And I have never seen a chat restriction.

Another thing I just thought of. Would it be considered toxic to say "That champ/item is kinda bs" in the chat? I hear that a lot, but personally I don't mind.

Treat the system like the most easily offended left wing snowflake imaginable. Im talking the one where if you use the wrong pronoun its literally the end of the world. Thats the type of system this community has asked for and what is has received.

Swears/coarse language don't trigger the system. Directing it at someone else does. Just be sure you're not targeting anyone and you're gucci.

Saying "shit I fucked up" won't get you in trouble but saying "Shit you fucked up" might.

Just avoid the 0 tolerance areas and never direct it at anyone and you should be fine.
