@VdstrkAgain, is it against the game rules to talk about someone on stream who isnt watching you?
@hayhor
Yes. It is offensive speech.
I won;t be bothered one way or the other.
Streams are 18+ so, some vulgarities are just fine. Nothing wrong with it, it emphasizes the emotions the player is feeling. That is OK.
What I am referring to is statements such, for example "that player is tr@#h", they are such "bots" and so on.... and worse.
If the recipient isn't there, it does not mean nothing has happened. And there are several witnesses every time that happens.
- hayhor5 years agoHero@Vdstrk The TOS say you cant say it on stream? Can you point me to this? I'd like to see.

I'm not sure I've made this clear enough. It should not be a black and white situation for which a bad word would lead to an in game suspension. What i am referring to are well defined instances in which certain statements are made, and are clearly derogatory, hateful etc.
The fact that it happens on stream is irrelevant. What matters is that is happens in game. IF the streamer is playing Apex, and the streamer violates ToS, and there is a record....
That is what I would guess should happen.

Hate speech and other offensive behavior isn’t cool, and we won’t accept “But I was role-playing!” as an excuse. Harassment of other players will earn you a time-out."https://www.cybersmile.org/advice-help/gaming/types-of-abuse
Most likely something along the lines of the above.
- 5 years ago@Vdstrk It's common sense that all rules pertain to in-game behaviour really. Any toxicity on stream is up to twitch🙄
- 5 years ago@Vdstrk Makes no sense if they watch your stream while they are playing. Thats like talking on the phone with someone while you’re being questioned by the police and saying on the phone “This guy who’s questioning me now is a * (or any other expletive)”. He can’t ticket you for that, whereas if you say it directly to him, he can (depending on the country).
Same rules I’m willing to bet apply to stream. First of, why watch/listen to a stream if you’re playing but that’s beside the point. If the comment isn’t directed at you it can never be used against you unless it goes against TOS of the platform holder.- Vdstrk5 years agoSeasoned Ace
@Koochi-Q
You can watch a stream afterwards, and find out, or be told by a friend etc.That is beside the point.
It is clear that there are 2 separate sets of rules, one for the average player, and one for streamers.
Same thing happens when streamers get cheaters banned live.
You, I , and a million of other players will never know if a person you reported has been banned. Streamers get to know it Live.
- 5 years ago@Vdstrk Tell me an average player who was banned for trash-talking outside the game?
