Why don't you scan the logs for offensive language before warning people about false reports?

i assume you mean when someone is reported for language or whatever else and riot sends you a message? if not then idk, but for this, it's just letting you know that you were reported. instant feedback. it's not saying the report was verified, just that it was put out there. kinda like how you're told the charges you are facing in court. you aren't guilty until it's proven, but you have the right to know

The message is incredibly condescending and indicting if you've ever read it, even when you got reported for offensive language by a premade after only using pings all game.

you'd have to tell me what the exact words were, as i've never seen it. i know people who have however, and they always wondered why they got it, but they didn't seem to think it was accusing them. as far as I know, it just lets you know that you've been reported.

They actually warn people for making false reports?

I've never heard of that before.

Pretty sure he is talking about getting warned as a result of other people false reporting him.

The only reason I can think of for the way it works is to cut costs. Running the system isn't free and validating every single report on the fly would probably be an expensive endeavor. There isn't much downside to giving a warning to someone who didn't need it, the overwhelming majority of people who get it, need it. Sometimes the stars align and you get a string of people who report everything and get one, but its not a big deal.

Oops. That makes more sense.

Yeah, the warnings don't actually matter unless your behaviour has actually earned punishment. The warning is just an automatic notification which has nothing to do with being punished.

I can see what you mean, but I think the system is more based on report weight rather than the content of the report because there are times where the automated systems might not pick up something that may seem offensive or negative. Of course, if a player gives out enough false reports, the players that the false reporter reports will stop receiving the report notification.

Get use to it if you're going ranked cause if you lose a lot and get paired with ragers they will report you for the purpose of both revenge and to see you perma banned.
