Censorship overboard !

To whom it may concern,

I have been playing this game for quite some time and have now been permanently banned. After the text was sent to me I was shocked at the reasons for a permanent ban. It is ridiculous that swearing in a gaming chat room is not acceptable, especially given you player demographic and other similar gaming conversations. If this is truly the way RIOT would like to operate then I would rather not play this game and suggest the same to my large group of friends who join me. The fact that you so rapidly condemn any mention of homosexuality but the entire cast of your champions is sexualized beyond acceptable measure for a company with the upmost concerns towards "equality" and appropriateness in confusing. Please remember this is a GAME and not a children's cartoon. I would like to have the tribunals review appealed. I have spent alot of time playing this game and the punishment does not fit the conversation. Please address this situation.

Thank you, Buksch

Below is the cause for my permanent ban (unedited for which a kayle ruined the entire game in order just to get personal stats and an S)

Erm. It wasn't your language that got you banned, though it might have contributed if that three letter word started with an 'F'.

No, you were banned for your behavior. You were insulting your team quite a bit.

Swearing isn't against the rules. I swear all the time. It's swearing at people and using hate speech

I tend to agree that the system is incredibly draconian, yes.

I was taken from zero-to-permaban (Yes Riot Tantram, I will continue to say this because that's what actually happened, despite it being overturned at a later date) for much, MUCH less than what you did. The most horrifying part is that there are people (Almost exclusively leftists/feminists) that want the system to be even more draconian than it already is. That is pure insanity.
