I'm sorry, but this is a ridiculous rule. If someone enters a lobby or a game and states intent to feed/troll/throw the game, they deserve every single bit of hatemail they get. They're not in danger; all we have is a summoner name. You want to make it easier to track down the trolls? Throw them straight into the limelight and drop that perma-ban hammer. WEED OUT THE CRAP, RIOT.
Cocho5 votesNot everything is true though.
I had a fiddle today that entered a lobby already titled, he said something along the lines of. "I**f anyone is gonna fu%#%n waste my time, then just dodge"** One of our teammates locked in morgana top, he wasn't too happy about. He literally flame all game. She got autofilled, I'd rather have her on a champ she does play than one she doesnt. She did pretty good considering that she got camped top all game, with the fiddle flaming her but doing nothing about it. I did things botside since I was mid and we won. Morg only died twice in lane, never solo-killed, and got ganked repetitively
In that fiddle's mind, morgana was trolling. To everyone else on the team, fiddle was just flaming for no reason. A person like that fiddle could make a post about the morgana throwing and trolling but it just wouldn't be true. A person shouldn't have to come onto the boards to defend themselves against random attacks and hatemail lol.
XBonkeyxDonorX1 votesYes, they damn well should IF they're doing something that's toxic enough to cause a group of people to specifically remember them and their garbage. Couldn't lie about numbers; match history. Couldn't lie about what's said; chat logs. Couldn't lie about position picked or forced into; look at pre-game lobby. Call the idiots out for being idiots, then ban the crap out of them. Less idiots, more happy people, better Riot, win all around.
Cocho1 votesWhat about the situation I gave? You didnt' really acknowledge it in your reply.
I also can't imagine riot pulling up chat logs everytime one of these posts are made. That would also basically be guilty until proven innocent. Since if a player called me out, people might not believe me until the chat logs are shown.
Not everyone even goes to the boards, I doubt most of the playerbase even knows this is a thing. Just sounds like a bad idea.
Silent Gravity3 votesUse the report system to weed them out.
I did a little bit of math at the problem in this thread: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/player-behavior-moderation/aNcIbux3-since-riot-wont-deal-with-the-trolls-ill-do-it-by?comment=0007
Long story short: It'd be remarkably time consuming to keep an updated public list, it'd be remarkably expensive to maintain an updated public list, it'd also be remarkably useless.
XBonkeyxDonorX1 votesI'm all for automation; if someone happens to be banned or enough voices are put against said terrible human being, add them to a public list. Instant, so not time consuming, and all it takes is one more webpage. Not expensive. At least allow OTHER players to avoid those that are known to be toxic. Not useless if you can block someone before it's ever even an issue.
ModPeriscope3 votesSo we should just do away with any standards and be able to talk garbage about any summoner?
My last game with you, you said in all chat that you "ate only nerf tennis balls for second breakfast" and you admitted that "I'm the primary reason Winds of Winter hasn't been released."
No, there's absolutely no way naming and shaming could get ridiculously out hand.
XBonkeyxDonorX1 votesChat logs pumpkin. They're real.
ModPrandine3 votesThe reason it's not allowed is not only because of the potential to start witch-hunts but also because there's no real way of knowing whether the name and shamer is actually speaking the truth or not. For all we know they could be starting a witch-hunt against a player who didn't give into their trolling demands and is just making stuff up to get revenge on that player because of it. Basically it exists to prevent innocent players from being ganged up on unnecessarily.
Just use the in-game reporting system and/or file a Support Ticket about a potential problem player if need be. If that player has a history of acting up and is consistently reported for it then they will eventually be punished.
XBonkeyxDonorX1 votesChat logs. Statistics. Reporting system is crap. 'Nuff said.
Rand0mH3r0X1 votesNeither you or me has access to that. I can edit chat logs easily if someone posted some. I can make them say whatever I want them to. Don't trust a source as official unless specifically stated by a Riot employee.
XBonkeyxDonorX1 votesRiot has access to the official chat records, no? If not, then how are people banned/punished? Lucky guess? Point is, if you're going to flaunt a game as one of the largest in the world, then take care of it. Not a half-assed sorry excuse for a reporting system that gives perma-bans that lack the permanent part.
Rand0mH3r0X1 votesRiot takes your post about an issue with a ban as consent sometimes. They can release chat logs and that source would be considered official.
XBonkeyxDonorX1 votesMaybe I'm just tired, but I'm failing to see how this is remotely relevant. Likely just tired.
Rand0mH3r0X1 votesReread on your own.
Witch-hunts are not a good thing to start, and pretty much the suggestions you have can easily be faked.
Riot doesn't want to be flooded with false reports. That's why their report feature is so limited.
TheViper79112 votesNot going to happen, sorry.
XBonkeyxDonorX1 votesOf course not, but the idea of the toxic getting what they deserve is so satisfying.
loller212 votesI had to play with an ammumu top named teemingboss0557, and he took smite so at first I thought he was going jg, so I told him that he was top since I already called jungle, to no reply. I thought that he didn't get the message, so I told him several more times, to which he was like "f*cking shut up." In the game, he stole my jungle camps, kept insulting me, even when I was carrying the team. He even told the enemy team "yi keeps coming top and steals my cs" even when the only time I came top was to gank a 2 people enemy top. In addition, he /she said that I was supposedly "toxic" and to report me, and that I was stealing kills and I was trash. Even worse, the enemy lux sided with the ammumu, and called me a retard. I feel so frustrated..
J4 Ulted Mexico1 votesWell, naming and shaming yourself is always allowed on the boards. But... I see you've already done that...
XBonkeyxDonorX1 votesThe clever; it's strong in this one.
