AKA: If "John123" gets banned for spamming porn links or whatever, let us have the option to report "John1234" for Smurfing/Circumventing a ban. Granted, this should only be offered/enforced beyond reasonable doubt.
I'm not sure what this would accomplish. There are four scenarios that currently happen, in my mind:
Basically, I have trouble seeing where the proposed system would come into play. Options 1 and 3 have no reason to be reported, and options 2 and 4 should be swiftly handled by the systems already in place.
So you want to report people for leveling additional accounts?
Circumventing a ban, fine, that makes plenty of sense. The standard of proof would be massive they'd literally have to say something to the effect of. "Riot permabanned my main for trolling so I just made a new account to troll." The likelihood of that ever happening is so astronomically low that it wouldn't really be worth pursuing, and besides if that hit the tribunal they'd get hard punishments anyway.
Furthermore I can't comprehend how you'd want to report people for smurfing, typically people are just climbing the ladder again, and yeah it sucks to get roflstomped by a d1 ADC vayne main, but there's not really any way around that, and to ban people's accounts for it is just asinine. Again the standard of proof would have to be massive, and there's an astronomically low chance of that happening anyway.
Furthermore if someone is trolling, spamming, toxic, etc. There are already options to report said offenses in the current system.
Doesn't make sense. Ban is on account, not person currently (and maybe unfortunatelly). You break rules with account, you get it banned. You play nice with another, you're clean.
Real ban on person isn't really possible now. Or would you provide your fingerprint to Riot so that they can ban you forever if you break rules?
Personally, I feel like the punishment is putting in the hours to level up that smurf. If that's not a big enough barrier, maybe we need to raise the level requirement or otherwise make it harder for a new account to start spamming the boards (ie, something like, "only allowed one post per day until you've been around for 10 days."
