I was wondering if you could get banned for mentioning certain phrases without actually using them. Here's an example of what I mean.
"I wonder why sm or 5m is banned." "I found out 5 pick was banned the other day because it's too close to [word here]" "I had to use Urban Dictionary to find out what [word] meant." "Why is [word] banned?" "It means [word] in this language."
Jo0o4 votesProbably not worth trying.
Chat's for strategy, not off-topic discussions. If you're curious, you could make a forum thread about a topic instead.
Chermorg4 votesIn game, generally yes, as using any type of slur has the potential to detract from someone else's game experience.
On the boards, it depends heavily on the sub-board it's on as well as the context it's used in.

What if it is in a private chat with someone?
Chermorg1 votesAside from threats and other forms of extreme toxicity, Riot does not generally moderate private chat, as it is an "opt in" experience.

Would racial slurs used like this end up with an instant permanent ban?
Nik Nikerson1 votesWell, there's not an option to report chat outside the game, so you would have to write a support ticket complaining about it. So the question becomes, why is your friend writing a support ticket to get you punished?
MysterQ2 votesIsn't all of League an opt-in experience... you agree that this game is online and may have content not suitable for .....
redniwediS1 votesTechnically yes, but this is based on the assumption that playing the game is the baseline. Anything more than simply playing the game is extra and on an opt-in basis.
General Esdeath 1 votesNo, because you don't know who you're going in game with. If you willingly add the guy telling you to jump off your roof, then you have a good idea of what he wants to say.
redniwediS1 votesJust heavily censor it and keep the post constructive, polite, and related to League in some way.
zPOOPz1 votesI doubt you would get banned on this board if you use those exact wording and not in excess.
In-game, are you playing a game or trying to have a discussion? Because it is quite difficult to do both seeing as you need 2 hands to effectively control your champion. I wouldn't be surprise at all if the IFS punishes you for using zero tolerance word in almost any context.
Ada Wong1 votesBut Apple is a racist slur, and the N word is NAGA, which is an offensive word to the snake people 
<---- You NAGA !
I will just include a couple of links to the dictionary.

Really just try not to use them ever...

I've never heard of sm of 5m being offensive.
Can't think of what 5 pick would be either.
Am i behind on the times or something? lol
General Esdeath 2 votes5 pick, replace the 5 with an S.
5m is a mystery, but some believe it was due to this:
3 meo1 votesOhhhhh. Duh
And i can't picture 5m being any action. Some of these things i can look at it in all sorts of different ways till i can see whatever the image is supposed to be, but i'm not seeing anything in a 5 and a M...
General Esdeath 1 votesI think 5m was a reference to his penis size or something.
General Esdeath 1 votesIn game yes, the IFS scans for words. You can ask here and you'll get an answer if we know.
