Banned for asking the enemy to report my teammate?

Basically I was banned for 14 days, with my last punishment (chat restriction) being last month, for repeating what a teammate said and asking the enemy team to report him. Which I'm sure could lead to this happening since I had already been punished before and the instant feedback system saw keywords/phrases which I said in accordance to what I just stated. And I quote "plz report bard afk and griefing and ornn for toxicity he keeps tellin ori to kys". I understand how this could lead to the robotic ban hammer to smite my ass, and I will post the chat log I was sent in-game as proof if someone asks since I'm not sure how to do spoilers in this board. But, I'm just wondering is, is telling the enemy team to report one of my teammates harassment and warrants a ban? Is losing hope to win the game when you are done a considerable amount of gold bannable? Is repeating to the enemy team that one of my teammates has told another one of my teammates and myself to kill myself a bannable offense? [sg-lux-2]

EDIT: Step 1: Tell teammates to kys Step 2: Bait them into saying to report you Step 3: Report them for shaming you ????? Step 4: Profit and down votes from other salty banned people

Here is the Summoners Code, where in this did I break any rules? Further below is the Code of Conduct which ALL PLAYERS MUST FOLLOW.

5.1. Can I troll, flame, threaten or harass people while using the Riot Services? (No. If you do, you might get banned.) While using the Riot Services, you must comply with all laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdiction in which you reside. You must also comply with certain additional rules that govern your use of the Riot Services (the “Code of Conduct”). The Code of Conduct is not meant to be exhaustive, and we reserve the right to modify it at any time, as well as take appropriate disciplinary measures including account termination and deletion to protect the integrity and spirit of the Riot Services, regardless of whether a specific behavior is listed in the policy as inappropriate. In addition to the Code of Conduct, please review the Summoner’s Code for additional guidance on exemplary gameplay behavior. The following are examples of behavior that warrant disciplinary measures:

i. Impersonating any person, business or entity, including an employee of Riot Games, or communicating in any way that makes it appear that the communication originates from Riot Games;

ii. Posting identifying information about yourself or other users to the Website or within the Game;

iii. Harassing, stalking or threatening other users in the Game;

iv. Removing, altering or concealing any copyright, trademark, patent or other proprietary rights notice of Riot Games contained in the Website, the Game and/or the Software. You also may not transmit content that violates or infringes the rights of others, including patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, publicity, personal rights or other rights;

v. Transmitting or communicating any content which, in the sole and exclusive discretion of Riot Games, is deemed offensive, including language that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, or racially, ethically, or otherwise objectionable;

vi. Transmitting or facilitating the transmission of any content that contains a virus, corrupted data, trojan horse, bot keystroke logger, worm, time bomb, cancelbot or other computer programming routines that are intended to and/or actually damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or mine, scrape or expropriate any system, data or personal information;

vii. Spamming chat, whether for personal or commercial purposes, by disrupting the flow of conversation with repeated postings;

viii. Participating in any action which, in the sole and exclusive judgment of Riot Games, defrauds any other user of the Game, including by scamming or social engineering;

ix. Using any unauthorized third party programs, including mods, hacks, cheats, scripts, bots, trainers and automation programs that interact with the Software in any way, for any purpose, including any unauthorized third party programs that intercept, emulate, or redirect any communication between the Software and Riot Games and any unauthorized third party programs that collect information about the Game by reading areas of memory used by the Software to store information;

x. Accessing or attempting to access areas of the Game or Game servers that have not been made available to the public;

xi. Selecting a Summoner name that is falsely indicative of an association with Riot Games, contains personally identifying information, or that is offensive, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable. You may not use a misspelling or an alternative spelling to circumvent this restriction on Summoner name choices. Riot Games may modify any name which, in the sole and exclusive judgment of Riot Games, violates this provision, without notification to you, and may take further disciplinary measures, including account termination for repeated violations;

xii. Logging out or exiting the Game during live game-play. Riot Games’ automated Leaverbuster® system tracks this data over time and issues a temporary ban when a user is determine to have left mid-game too many times. The length of the temporary ban will increase over time if a particular account continues to leave live game play; or

xiii. Playing on another person’s account to “boost” that account’s status or rank.

Here is the CoC for League of Legends in the ToS Where does it say in the CoC that I CANNOT say "report X person for breaking the CoC"?

Here is a link to an article about a woman convicted of manslaughter for telling someone to kill themselves, I guess the person who commited suicide shoulda gotten banned.

The system detected the keyword “kys.” However it does state in the summoner’s code that you aren’t supposed to tell others to report people soooo...

Saying it once is not harassment. Spending the whole game using the phrase (or a variation thereof) "please report x for y" is harassment and will get you punished. Your thoughts or feelings are not punishable - if you lose hope in the game fine. But you must not take that into the chat - chat is not for you to express your negative thoughts/feelings in.

NEVER repeat what someone says. here is how it works saying KYS and getting reported no matter even if you said "my teammate said kys to me please report him" will still get you banned because the Bot that looks at the messages sees KYS and issues the ban IMMEDIATELY

also you do not need more then 1 report for a game to become flagged, so just report him knowing he will get an instant 14 day ban.

The best way to use chat is just to say 1-3 things and leave it at that. Even if they are trolling then by all means give them even less attention. Just say report so and so for troll then leave it alone. The only people who get banned or chat restricted are the people who type all game

If I see a murder happening and I decide to call the police, are the police going to arrest me for shaming/harassing the murderer? :thinking:
