This isn't like most of the posts in this board complaining about being permabanned and saying the system sucks. I was just curious if other people think this would make more sense as well.

First off, assuming an account is perma banned because of being toxic, I personally believe that isn't all that efficient of a punishment. What I see most of the time is that when players are perma banned, they create another account and are just as toxic as ever. The ban doesn't change anything, just makes them restart. Wouldn't it be much more efficient to perma chat ban them? since they won't want to make a new account due to the money they spent on the account, thus actually taking him out of the playerbase instead of just basically transferring him to another account.

Short answer: they tried it and it didn't work. Long answer: back when Riot did escalating chat restrictions some people would rack up so many that they would often turn to other forms of griefing instead. Compared to chat related offenses these are much more difficult to detect. The current system while not perfect is much more effective at punishing people than the current system is, and it also gives players at least 1-3 chances under normal circumstances before permabanning them if they dont reform.

Wow, you can keep track of every permabanned account and the new account the owners make?!

You are right, its more like the 2nd most posted issue: "I don't like the system but I have no arguments."

I personally believe that isn't all that efficient of a punishment.

Many people "personally believe" that the earth is flat, vaccination a hoax, and governments underminded by alien lizards from Alpha Centauri.

Lucky for us all then, that the majority doesn't have to give a rats a**.

So they can express their toxicity with trolling instead? Great idea...oh wait...no, its not. Its absurd.

Seeing as there are other ways to be toxic other than using chat, that wouldn't do much.

Mixed messages.

Riot will claim they want reform. Then turn around and account ban on sight.
