So I've never been chat restricted before in my league of legends life. Today, I've been insta-banned. Never ever had a chat restriction. My other half has had chat restrictions and was warned before, but never banned. So this is a thing now?
A 14-day-ban is a common punishment for behaviour which crosses the line massively (trolling/inting/hate-speech/ZT-words). For a better review I would ask you to post your full and unedited chatlog.
Yes, it has been a thing for years. If you use zero-tolerance word such as hate speech or extreme toxicity such as death threats and such, you can skip chat restriction and go straight to 14-day.
As zPOOPz mentioned, zero-tolerance chat behavior (hate speech, encouragements of self-harm, death threats, etc.) can warrant skipping the first two punishment tiers; all three punishment tiers, even, in the case of death threats.
You're only presented with your chat logs because the punishment is dealt based on your behavior, nobody else's, and that you're supposed to be looking at what about your behavior you should be changing going forward. It doesn't matter if anyone else in the match was also being vulgar or breaking the rules; you participated, and you need to learn not to.
You can consider that unfair, but the fact of the matter is that adding other player's chats on top of yours would be pointless and detrimental to reform.
And, if you're going to try to discuss behavior, you're gonna have to give more explanation than just "not spelling out the hateful words". Just speak plainly; so long as you're not naming and shaming, you can't really do much wrong in holding the discussion.
Chat logs, please.
I got instaban and I said only one curse word - "shit". Check this out: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/tcd71UQ1-yet-one-more-account-banned
This is getting more and more ridiculous.
