Because they are in part who showcase the game and publicize it, should Streamers caught being toxic and cussing at enemies be banned from the game?Or do we really have two separate sets of rules, one for the average player, and another one for the "elite"?

On that note, players being toxic towards devs should be banned, too, right? 🙂

@BaldWraithSimpLOLSure. Thank you for the tip! no I will not...

@asukojo Hideouts is not the only one doing it. He is the face of the TOS team. More then just him are handling the situation. Also they have addressed up coming changes for facing cheaters and combating cheaters. Either you are not up to date or you do not read or see patch notes and videos. So to say its not being addressed is 100% wrong considering their video uploaded was last month i believe.

@Vdstrk such a shame too. Back in my day if people didnt like what someone had to say we stop watching or talking to said person. Instead everyone on this planet nearly is offended by everything.This man was banned for * on tufi and dogging tufi. A cheater who has repeatably stalked shiv harassed shiv and cost shiv money by locking him from being able to log in or hunting him down stream sniping him.But yea shiv is the problem they say.... He did what any of us would after 6+ months of being stalked. Got excited when he owned the most natorious cheater in the game and let him know what he thinks of him.

@Vdstrk Unfortunately, being a 'toxic' player isn't something you can ban.It's a personality trait.I do think high profile streamers, YouTuber's or any content creator should lead by example. I also don't think toxic play should ever be promoted.

Should Apex streamers being toxic on stream be banned from the game?

Insulting another player is against ToS.

@Vdstrk You might as well ban most of them, starting with the big names, which I won't mention.

What I am thinking is that if the average player would explicitly insult someone the way I have seen some streamers do, no doubts that player would be banned. So, why no one is banning streamers from the game for the same "offense" that may get anyone else in trouble?
After all they have video proof of it happening.
i think it could be a good way also to set an example.

@VdstrkI don't think you got my meaning. I completely agreed with you, but if they decide to ban streamers for toxicity as you rightfully proposed, they will have to ban most of them, including the big names. Why? Because most of them are toxic.

@Vdstrk Most of the YT's & streamers I watch aren't ever like that to randoms.

Also, in tournaments teams usually talk to each other badly but just due to the high stress they are all under.

Anyone who is 'bullying' someone for no valid reason IMO should be given a temporary ban.

Yes. It is unfortunate that big streamers get away with so much. IMO.

I understand, and I would have no problem being that in a Private environment.
But given the number of players that watch streams live or after I think some change, either to the ToS or intervention to apply the ToS may be neede.

@Vdstrk If team mate got insulted, recorded the clip and reported to twitch, they will get ban by twitch. They got ban so they can cool down and REFLECT.
It ever happen to Shifv and Xednim:
1. Xednim learned his lesson and keep his cool now and back to be #1 Predator again, trying to reach 100K RP.
2. Shifv never scare to release his feeling against cheater & stream snipping, especially TUFI.

@Vdstrk I think there is a difference tho. Streamers yelling at their stream about an opponent arent yelling at the actual person in their ear. And I generally watch people that play as teams so I never see them call their teammates anything.

Are there streamers that sound toxic on their streams? Yes but it is allowed by the platform. You have to be directly toxic to get a game ban.
