How can you check your current standing...

as far as being close to being banned? I have not done or said anything against TOS on this account while on another I intentionally tried to see how fast I could get it banned. The account I intentionally sank was banned after one, count them ONE game where "I" was told to quote "kys" and I reported it only to find out I was immediately banned.

This account, I've got good honor levels, I don't flame, and I encourage enemy team to keep trying even when they flame in All Chat. I only smack talk to be silly, and I don't threaten or harass people beyond "lololol you got owned! I win!" style comments, and am a good sport about receiving that in kind when it's just game banter of that nature.

I don't want to lose THIS account, but that one I experimented with was given no warning and had no way to track it's standing. That's incredibly shady and eff'd up if you ask me. Input and helpful links would be amazing. Thank you!

There is no active way to track standing, because people may use such a tool to maximize flame without punishment.

Your dummy account was instantly banned for saying "kys" which is a zero tolerance phrase.

there is no way to check it sadly. the truth is you are always 1 or 2 games away from a permanent ban in this game if you slip up.

Riot doesn't give you a specific way to check, otherwise the system could easily be cheesed and abused.

The reason the new account was instantly perma'd is because Riot has pretty good smurf detection, and they have zero tolerance for people getting on smurfs just to break rules.

Best bet is to file a support ticket. I'm not sure they will give you the information you desire, but we sure can't on the forums.

I'm a big advocate for having more transparency in the behavioral system.

The counter arguement is that people will learn how to game and abuse the system and try to avoid getting punished by either using weird text (like calling people a business man as an insult) or they would chill out on the toxicity just before they get punished.

Personally I'm cool with people having time out in their toxicity. At least that will be 50 games without toxicity from that player.

I've recently been able to confirm that standing DOES heal after a period of honors and good behavior, though it's still best just not to fuck with the system whatsoever. The thing that drives me nuts though is the ToS clearly stating;

In certain instances it's possible to skip levels of punishment and go right for a perma ban.

While I DO understand the logic, it's kinda crazy to trust discretion to an automated system based on zero tolerance words alone. There's simply no way their bots can detect context. For instance;

"Don't call me a (N-word)!"

"HA! Stupid (N-word) git gud!"

A chat bot will get tripped by the N-word itself, not the context. Another example;

"literally kill yourself" / "literally off yourself"

"My team is telling me to "kys"" / "My team is saying I should off myself..."

Again, how is the system going to check context?

You can't tell me human people see every single report. That every ban has happened because a human person saw everything and made an informed decision.
