Yup the RR thing is just ridicoulus, they claim it's for stress reasons..

Mikethebaron (Personally I like freedom of speech more than people not being to say what they like to me. )

Well obvious are ppl having there right to Speech, still there are consequences if you say things ore do things that hurt ore are by law an harassment, an Example of that is what you Mikethebaron have agree 2 and that all have agree about is the License agreement there you can read about what is and not before you accept. (the therms of use the right to play lol)

This is an example of an lobby chat there ppl say what they want, and i choose my free selection of report.

well ppl harassing in lobby and leave so u cant actually report em fore an un legal harass.

Same goes for toxicity.



When they are toxic, they should be included.



No, just punishing what is toxic is enough. As more and more systems get introduced there will be less and less toxicity. It will never go away completely, but I think that for the most part it will.



True, but if they go too far, they’ll get punished.



That is quite funny, I’m thinking the same thing of you. Do you see people not get punished when they go too far?

Whenever I see your posts I can't help but think of what Obi-Wan said: "Only Sith deal in absolutes."
People don’t get punished for being critical, they get punished for being a jerk about it.
What do people learn from stating their bad? How do they become better due to that statement? How will they suddenly know what to do? How will it help win the game? So what’s the point of that statement other than self-gratification?

You dont get punished for constructive critisism, you get punished for being a **** about the mistakes of your teammates in a desructive and demoralizing way.

Basically 90% of the community can easily spot the difference and act accordingly.

I admit, there are some people who cry as soon as you say something to them, but they dont matter, they are too few.

And Im willing to admit that the system is not perfect. There may be a few cases with wrong punishments. That should be looked into ofc.

But for the rest: This is a gaming community, and if you act like a jerk, you get thrown out. Just common sense, just everyday life. End. Of. Story.

People DO get punished for being critical. Because as so many other threads have stated, It's the person reading the comment who choose to take it in a negative way or not. And who is the judge on crossing the line or not? The Tribunal? they only see the reports being filed, they dont know the accuracy of those reports.

People take these things SO differently, and thats why it is absurd to take away ranked games from a "verbal harrasment charge"

"PEOPLE WHO COMMUNICATE WIN 31% MORE GAMES" Riot quote!

Someone quoted:
"Players who communicate win 33% more games" (1)

But take into account too that:
"People who harass their teammates win 23% less games"
"People who are friendly win about 27% more games" (2)

Freedom of speech means you can say what you think, but the consecuences of your expressed thoughts are still there. Most people out there don't understand the most basic rule of common sense:

“Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.”

Stick to this, and you will easily accomplish (1) and (2) while enjoying your freedom of speech, without chat/ranked restrictions.

Define toxicity then, how is it diferent then negative criticism.



Give me an example of a negative criticism that isn't toxic then.



Haha, so delusional. You actually think Riot can suceed in something that's completly within human nature. One would think any modern society would have done that by now then.



What a vague thing to say. Yet can't we discuss negative criticism?



How? How can you possibly think that? We're talking about language and punishment here, one of the most overlooked, indiferent facets of the Law.

There's literally 0 coverague, importance or ****s given to this side of society. Most people are nice to each other, but when they're not, there's almost no importance given.

If a random homeless man starts yelling at you and calling you names, do you break down and start crying? DO ask for policing language? Noone of this things happen in the real world to any real extent.



Hmm how about the truth? It's not always nice. You're strawmaning it, to make it sound i want to call people bad when i never said that, at least not directly.

But i've been told things that were negative that made better myself as a player. I'm not petty enough to feel insulted for things people say about me, when it's true.

Also if anyone is dealing with absolutes it's you, you give no leeway to what is called "being a jerk", i'd wouldn't mind looking at context and just not giving people restrictions because they're being whinny.

I can't say the same for you.

Yes but there's a diference between what's insulting and what's just ego-damaging. All this positivity does is promote the ideology of retarded things like the "never surrender " mentality, and other things that basically make people who play decently be stuck in 40 minute losses.

And i'd actually wouldn't mind all of that, but the biggest hypocrisy is that, when i ask for the most common and most harmless thing, which is apologizing, people in this forum look at me, like i've asked for the Holly Grail.

" While apoligising is positive, it shouldn't be required"
"Aplogising shouldn't be demanded"

Is the level of response i get, that's why, i know it's an ego issue that people are discussing, not being nice.
Being nice doesn't just mean saying you're going to win with emoticons, or not being mean to people, the most positive thing you can do is actually admit to your mistakes and move on.

Freedom of speech is irrelevant of winning. We're not discussing the prospectives of winning. Which by enlarge positive speech or negative speech have litle decisive effect.

I am really getting tired of being told repeatedly, that being a **** is completely within human nature. IT IS NOT.

Most people are by nature friendly to one another. Most people acknowledge that you have to treat others the way you want to be treated yourself.

There are norms and rules for polite and friendly behaviour, there is nothing "vague" about what constitutes friendliness.
Your "negative criticism" is by far and wide outside of everything that is considered nice and kind. We do not even NEED to discuss specifics here, there are socially accepted rules about such things that go back several centuries.

For those being raised in unfortunate circumstances, who just cannot acknowledge those basic truths I am feeling truly sorry, but that doesn't change the facts.



So ENIRELY wrong. In the real world there are:

- rules regarding politeness that specifically incorporate language
- rules about sportsmanship
- a whole buckload of rules and laws concerning harassment (sexual and otherwise) at the workplace, that are specifically (amongst other things) targeting language
- rules and guidelines regarding bullying at school, again specifically targeting language
- laws regarding slander
- laws regarding insulting police officers and other official persons
- specific rules and guidelines in companies and schools about interaction, again incorporating language rules
- ...

There is almost no place in the real world where you can go and randomly insult or just "negatively criticise" people without any negative backlash.
