User blog comment:C4bal/Unfair chat restrictions - Do they exist?/@comment-25228021-20150310171419

Riot has said iirc that during the time the Tribunal system is down, users with chat restrictions may have it "refreshed" when it nears its end.

So you'll probably have to deal with the chat restriction for another hundred games. At least think of it to be this way, and the moment it is lifted will come off as a good surprise.
