Actual PSA: Stop Communicating

After studying the linked post, my own support logs, and my most recent chat restriction, I have a real PSA for the frustrated players with a habit of trying to fight back against trolls:

Limit it to one statement.

As long as you avoid trigger words like 'kill yourself' (actually toxic, btw), 'Report', 'ban', etc, Riot's system ACTUALLY punishes you for typing a lot of text. Review any of the various punishment alerts posted in this section and you'll see a massive pattern- nobody is punished for just three or four posts in chat, no matter what words they use. By contrast, a lot of the content in punishment logs is completely innocuous or has to do with the game in question. Flat out, Riot's bot is biased against players who type a lot, no matter what they type. I believe this is a secret that a lot of trolls have long since caught on to, explaining why they maintain radio silence even as they ruin your game, aside from one or two taunts at the very most!

Well, if you're browsing this board, you've probably been unjustly punished for trying to fight back against this disgusting plague that Riot has empowered with such a simpleminded bot. Sorry, folks, but the crusade is over. Righteous anger is dead. If you've ever been reminded by a Rioter that you can 'totally disable chat', this is why- their stance isn't against players who actively ruin games for others, but against us. Those who type. Those who, 99% of the time, use our words to keep their team on one page, offer advice, or put forward tactics; if even 1% of that is frustrated outbursts, we'll be punished, again and again. Riot doesn't care what you say, or who you say it to; they simply want to punish you for talking.
