"tl;dr Rager claims that reporting someone 4 times in one game results in an instant 2-week ban, any truth to that? (Followed by a minor rant about how much misinformation there is about the report and punishment system right now).

Players that think the system is automated or based solely on reports are just trying to drum up fear. Every report in the game is assessed for validity, and false reports tend to have 0 impact in player behavior systems. We have an entire system that just reviews every report and determines whether it's an accurate or false report--quite a few players know this, but still want to try to undermine the systems by claiming otherwise. Lyte, I made a new smurf account and am still leveling it, and the other day I received and in-game notice saying that I had been reported for negative attitude and warning me to basically straighten up. I don't think I did anything worthy of a report, but I'm not here to dispute that - I want to know if RIOT individually assesses these as well or if it is an automated system when too many reports were filed. The more severe the penalty, the more aggressive our checks and balances. Quick notifications or warnings may have higher false positive rates, but we try to keep it fair"

I was under the impression that the system isn't automated.
