This guy needs a ban

I made a post a couple of days ago, which I linked, about a genuinely toxic person. A rioter removed the names and links in that post because 'they don't want player shaming on the boards' but are apparently ok with toxicity off of the boards. I'm aware that very few people actually get banned or punished at all with the current system so I went to check and the guy that stated that he bought his account(which I thought riot was against) and that he intentionally afks/feeds/etc. is still playing. My question for riot then is this, why is it that you defend toxic players when you say that you don't want to promote it? Would it not be beneficial to 'shame' toxic behavior to discourage it? And the main point of this post... I had someone dm me the following:

all your trash family will fking die in car accident soon. you'll be killed by ISIS soon. stupid fking trash. fk you

Where can I go to report someone like this?

The "Naming and Shaming" rule exists because the boards are for players, and players have no way to verify what you're saying is true.

  • You're a player in League of Legends called "Ben"
  • Something happens and someone doesn't like you
  • That someone comes to the boards. "'Ben' is a feeder and said he wished my family would die", etc. etc.
  • Boards take what you say at face value
  • Ben now gets harassed by a bunch of players even though they did nothing wrong

Does posting on the boards result in action being taken? No. That's what the report system is for.

Does posting on the boards and naming and shaming someone add any positive value? No.

As for reporting out of game... try submitting a ticket. Forgot under what category tho... It was general questions that's all I remember

For behavior inside the game, it's best to utilize the in-game report system, and if it's from pre/post game chat, make sure you specify that in the comment section of the report.

For behavior outside of the game, like through a dm, if you have a screenshot you can send it to Player Support through a ticket here, using the category [I have a question about League of Legends/Riot Games.] > [Game and Features] > [General Questions]. They will look into it, but they won't tell you what action they take against the account, if any at all.

As for why I removed the names an images from your previous thread, the no "Name and Shame" rule doesn't exist to protect trolls and other toxic players. It exists to protect innocent players from the trolls. Since we as players don't really have any way to verify a lot of the information, trolls could easily photoshop images to make it look like a player was being extremely toxic when they weren't. This could give the innocent player a largely negative reputation, and could cause many people to start a completely unnecessary witch hunt against said player.

Riot is the only one who could confirm if public accusation like this is true, but even if such an accusation is determined to be false, the player's reputation could still be damaged. This is why the no "Name and Shame" rule exists. It really doesn't bring anything positive to the community. It's better to simply report players privately, either through the in-game report system or if absolutely necessary a support ticket.

One report usually isn't enough its multiple reports that will earn the ban
