Fought against a double-jungle troll team earlier. A Kassadin was trying to troll their Shaco by stealing all his jungle.
"GG" seems to be a rather controversial topic for how small it is, there's a lot of people with very set notions of the phrase and it's meaning. Half the people I play with use it seriously every game, as a sign of sportsmanship (like shaking hands), the other half don't bother at all and find it offensive. I get the motivations behind both sides, but I think it's something that's not so black and white, just like everything it's context that matters in the end. "GG noobs" obviously being something in the offensive category. I report people for that kind of crap every time they pull it. While only 1%-ish of players are ever punished by the tribunal, I'd like to think the players that deserve to get there, do. If somebody's a prick to me in a game and doesn't make it, I'd go with the conclusion that he was just having a bad day.

Also, while Riot did a good job of engineering the system and they're the ones handing out bans, ultimately it is community-driven. It may not be long until repeated uses of "GG noobs" and nothing more will result in punishment.

First hint by a Rioter that Shaco might be due for some "fixes" soon™
