Soft inting/ trolling goes by without punishment

So the link above is for a thresh who throughout the game flamed me because i didnt make every play he wanted and said i got out jungled. In this game i stole a dragon and made a 50/50 smite secure. For most of the game after laneing phase he just taunted me and split pushed and died 2-3 times from it. After that didnt work he would go and spend around a minute taking my wolf camp just saying. Jungle difference gg and then cussed at me in the most broken english which im assuming is why he hasnt been banned yet since they couldnt detect his toxic words. This game was a normal. a fun loving normal and then i was held hostage by one guy ruining my fun. ive had these people in ranked too. why arnt people like this banned.

I edited my post to let the OP know to submit a ticket if he didn't report. Either a report or a ticket is sufficient to having the player's acitons looked into, as just making a boards post doesn't really guarantee that.

you are not allowed to nameshame. but what you are allowed to do is say what champ you played, what your kda was so people can find out the players name on their own.

Within reason, you’re allowed to complain about having some frustrating player in your game.

There’s not a whole lot to prevent digital sleuths from finding or guessing about the offending player. Overall, it’s not a healthy endeavor. Namely because We’re fed a one-sided account of what’s happened. And also because there’s no guarantee that a player’s actions will get looked into outside of a report or support ticket.

while i agree with what you say, its so stupid that the boards allow you to click on someones name and instantly get linked to their match history. at least allow us to link the match history like cmon. or remove the auto-link feature when i click on someones name.

I guess the reason is two-fold.

One, that's really easy to identify who it is based on the match history + info in a post. Two, as the player plays more games, that identifying information gets much more difficult to use to track down said player. If the match history is there, it's still really clear who that player is.

Why does it being one sided matter when it's convenient? There have been many players mentioning their case was unfairly ruled because they're presented in a one sided account. Does the lack of context only matter when it suits the mediator's narrative?

Presented to whom, is the key question. In the case of chat logs, that's Riot giving you those logs. Why would you want Riot to present your side of the story to... yourself? If Riot would go give your chat logs to random people on the forums without you being able to give your side of the story that would be another question entirely.
