Justified but way too harsh

Sgt Scuba Steve··1 votes·1,362 views

Okay, i completely understand the reason for the ban but are you serious?! A 14 day suspension, oh my lord, not a week ban or a chat restriction just a straight up two weeker? I mean I've been playing this game for nearly 5 years now, i don't want to stop supporting you guys if this is what it comes to.

> Game 1 In-Game Sgt Scuba Steve: what is this lnae lmao Sgt Scuba Steve: lmao Sgt Scuba Steve: fuck you bot Sgt Scuba Steve: holy fuck Sgt Scuba Steve: feeders Sgt Scuba Steve: 10 deaths each Sgt Scuba Steve: you want to lose Sgt Scuba Steve: 1 death a min Sgt Scuba Steve: fun game Sgt Scuba Steve: feeders ruin this gamemode Sgt Scuba Steve: use locked screen Sgt Scuba Steve: !?!?! Sgt Scuba Steve: fuck off %%%% Sgt Scuba Steve: go eat your roaches Sgt Scuba Steve: fuck off Sgt Scuba Steve: go back to your eastern servers %%%% Sgt Scuba Steve: sb Sgt Scuba Steve: what dfoes it mean Sgt Scuba Steve: sb Sgt Scuba Steve: tell me Sgt Scuba Steve: only %%%%s know Sgt Scuba Steve: It means Sgt Scuba Steve: sha bi Sgt Scuba Steve: you dumb %%%% Sgt Scuba Steve: short and yelllow eyes Sgt Scuba Steve: yeah Sgt Scuba Steve: you look like a %%%% Sgt Scuba Steve: see Sgt Scuba Steve: you are Sgt Scuba Steve: easy Sgt Scuba Steve: yep Sgt Scuba Steve: i bet you go on reddit Sgt Scuba Steve: too

Okay, first of all, the person (veigar) who i responded to should also get a ban if that's the case. Harassing, flaming and all that. (the incessant spam of sb) Second of all, i'm human, i'm sure you all must know the frustration of having feeders/inters in your game. (two games in a row) You might actually think i'm racist but i'm unironcally chinese, smh. If you guys actually think the words "Fuck off," "%%%%" and "Reddit" is the worst there is to offer then you're living in la la land.

I wouldn't have flamed if i had known the Punishment/penalty was going to be such a blatant spit in the face. Will i reform? Sure! But i feel like I've been stabbed in the back and I'm not sure how to go about it. Care to help or explain any of this nonsense?

You're going to tell me ironic self racism is bannable aren't you...

Yeah, hate speech earns a 14-day ban on the first offense. No, you don't get an exception if you're a member of whatever race/group you're insulting. So yes, I'm going to tell you ironic self-racism is bannable, because racism is not allowed in League, period. In this case it's also obviously intended as an insult to someone else as well, so it's not ironic self-racism -- it's just a racist insult.

We all get frustrated, yeah. But that doesn't mean we have to respond with racial slurs.

All righty then. thanks for clearing most of that up! But what about the Veigar? Will he not be banned as well?

If you or another player reported him, the system will judge him on his behavior, and, if appropriate, issue a punishment (or move him towards a punishment) commensurate with his behavior and his previous punishments (if any).

So this guy could potentially get off scot free? Not even a look in?

The IFS only takes action if someone reports.

Action is only taken if a player is reported. The way the system learns what the community does and doesn't want is by reports -- if a behavior isn't reported, the system considers that players in that game considered it acceptable.

If he was reported you by your someone else, however, he isn't getting away free. He might not be immediately punished (I didn't see his behavior personally, so I can't say), but he'd at least get points towards a future punishment.

Adding on from what The Djinn and Silent Gravity have said, you can report other players using a support ticket, if you didn't report at the end of the game.

The "I'm human" excuse is... well, not an excuse. Yes, you're human. That means your brain should function on a higher cognitive level than other mammals. #Dontbeamammal

Definitely justified. The system also picks up different languages so you're little insult in mandarin was also considered.

Sgt Scuba Steve1 votes

I explained to him what "sb" meant, that part specifically wasn't meant to be an insult lol.

Kaioko2 votes

Considering you're on your last chance before perma you ought to learn this quickly -- the system doesn't care if you're "explaining" or "repeating" what someone says. If you say it you're flagged and it WILL PUNISH you for it.

racism and hate speech is a big no-no. auto 14 day ban. also there is not longer a one week ban. there are two levels of chat restrictions, 14 day, and perma ban.

remember riot looks at your behavior and yours alone when determining punishment. if you reported veigar his account got looked at as well

Sgt Scuba Steve2 votes

I guess it's my fault for not having a read through the recent summoner code. Thanks for the clear up!

I'd recommend using chat minimally or just not using it at all for a while. Your next offense after a 14 week ban typically results in a permaban. Give it a few months of nothing but pure, non-emotional tactical chat like "There's vision in that bush" or "Morgana no Flash" or just not speaking at all, and eventually you're start to redeem your account and push away from that dangerous cliff. It takes a while though.

Sgt Scuba Steve2 votes

I honestly didn't know that you could redeem your account, that is news to me, thanks a bunch!

Oleandervine2 votes

Note, you can redeem it while it is active, with constant displays of good behavior and no reports against you. If you get permanently banned, there is no way whatsoever to get it back.
