Hate Speech

Mr Steal Ya Gurl·Mar 9, 2016·2 votes·2,092 views

So, what does one do when there is another summoner in the game telling them to kill oneself? I have the messages screenshotted, and I really don't think people that talk this way should be allowed to play in this game or use chat.

If only riot actually looked at the reports for hate speech..

Seriously. It seems as though they've switched completely to automated busters.

The automated systems are extremely accurate and more likely to find something than people manually going through reports (which would cause an eternal backlog). Report them for hate speech, and the systems will do what they are designed to do.

I have asked this multiple times but NOT about when it comes to the automated system; Do words such as the "C" word (Rhymes with bracker) apply as strong of a reaction from the system as words like the "N" word ? (Rhymes with Trigger).... "Misogynist" as punished as those as well?

It seems that the system is very selective as to what constitutes "Hate Speech" rather than being just and equitable with dishing out respective punishment for all hatred-fueled words.

Maybe double standards? It may not be the system itself but the keywords used to detect hate speech.

Why don't we just remove chat completely. Then no one can be offended by anything ever again.

If someone tells you to kill yourself IG it's like an auto dunk by the system. Especially if like 2 or 3 people report with you.

Even though it's been stated multiple times that it only takes one report to trigger a review. More people does not matter and requesting people to report someone can be considered a form of harassment. Number of players DOES NOT MATTER.

Every time I've seen the "You dunked someone!" report screen it's been when multiple people reported.

I think number of players does matter or rather number of reports.
