PLEASE NOTE THIS PAGE HAS BEEN CREATED AS A DRAFT AND IS NOW AWAITING REVIEW AT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:The_Tribunal_(League_of_Legends)

The Tribunal is a system developed by Riot Games, in which eligible members of the League of Legends community are empowered to review potentially negative behaviours. Deployed in May 2011 the main objective of the system is to reinforce the importance of the tenets held within the Summoner’s Code to promotes positive behaviour among players.

How the system work
The system build cases based on reports received by players who have been consistently negative over a large number of games. The case is built on the most frequently report received by the player, prior reports of the same nature will not be considered, only similar reports post the creation of the case will be taken into account and added to the case.

Community judging
Any members of the League of Legends community, Summoners, who are post 20 in level (formally 30) and not banned from participation can review cases. Summoners receives points, known as Justice Rating, based on how often they vote towards the majority of the votes on the case. On the contrary, players loses amount of these Justice Rating if their vote coincide with the minority of the case. Losing large amount of Justice Rating can result in losing access to the Tribunal system, this is a way to encourage reviewers to carefully read the situation instead of blindly voting to punish players.

Type of report
Violation of the summoner's code and considerable punishments can be classify as the following: The weight of a report can also vary dependent on the credibility of the person who filed the report, a positive player's report would weight more against a player who abuse the system by constantly reporting.
 * Harassment: Offensive Language
 * Harassment: Verbal Abuse
 * Griefing: intentional Feeding
 * Griefing: Assisting Enemy Team
 * Inappropriate name
 * Leaving the Game/AFK
 * Negative Attitude
 * Refusing to Communicate with Team
 * Spamming
 * Unskilled Player

Type of punishments
The system assigns different level of penalties to players based on the severity of the case. The punishment serve to discourage the behaviour or act from happening again. Punishments includes: Low level punishment are carried out automatically by the system while more severe cases can sometime lead Player Support to manually assign punishments. Punishment are not by anyway influenced by the number of votes in a case, rather the frequently of the player being punished.
 * Warnings
 * Suspensions
 * Name changes
 * Permanent banning

Reviewing cases
Tribunal deploys a community base judging process, as members of the League of Legends community who are post 20 in levels are given rights to vote in a Justice review.

Justice review
All cases on the system judged or skipped, the end result and how consentaneous the decision was can be viewed in the Justice review, additionally Summoners can revisit each cases to view the resulting punishment assigned. Each case are presented to reviewing Summoners in sets of evidence, these evidence includes: The Justice review also acts as a report card for contributing Tribunal members, providing details on judgement accuracy and other information that determines how effective their voting has been.
