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.
@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?
- 5 years ago
@VdstrkOkay then afterwards, lets say you find out you got spoken bad about. It’s not thrash talking cause that’s in the moment self. Only way to get banned (after the fact) is for hate speech such as extreme derogatory comments, racism and such. Otherwise there’s no valid reason to even apply this towards the bannable.
There’s definitely 2 standards, not as much sets of rules. But in real life that’s the same. I know for almost a fact that if a streamer... wait I know for a fact that if streamers do hate mongering that they get banned, even after the fact. But let a normal person just speak ill about someone during a stream and I can almost guarantee that they won’t get banned cause it’s not hate filled or spreading. - Vdstrk5 years agoSeasoned Ace

Sure, and that is what I am referring to. Most likely, if a streaming platform applies a ban to a streamer for being derogatory, it is for quite serous statements.
Then it should go without saying, that the issue should be reviewed also by the the game ToS team and decide if a suspension applies.
If a streamer makes, say for example threats, and a suspension from the streaming platform follows, and the same rule is among the game's ToS, I do not see why that steamer should not be suspended in game as well.
As I said above. It is not the banter, it is not the occasional F word, or the vulgarity, or the "down to earth" speech etc.
It is the serious racist, or threatening stuff, including what would be cause for a suspension for a regular player. Everything that applies to me, you, and a million other players, should apply to streamers as well.
My question is, does it apply? or we really have 2 sets of rules?
In the case of banned players, we clearly have 2 sets of rules. that is visible from the several clips claiming live ban in Apex on YouTube.
