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"?
@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.
@Koochi-Q
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.
@BaldWraithSimp
I understand. You mean that the streamer making a remark is just talking to his audience and not directly to the team mate, or enemy. I disagree in the way you intend it as being limited to the game's only text of voice chat, as long as there are witnesses to it, even if that witness is a camera recording the fact.
I think it will come down on Twitch. Either way, the game cannot ban us for talking to ourselves. And if it weren't for the streams, this wouldn't even be brought up.

I agree, as long as no one else is listening to you talking to yourself, I would guess. How a given streaming platform goes about suspension is spelled in that streaming platform ToS. But it is not an exclusive situation. There can be overlapping situations.
In the case of a stream, it is not only talking to oneself.
@AcidicSoda44031
I would be surprised if a passing comment would cause any issues 🙂
I do not take it very personally when someone tells me that I'm not too good. Being that the truth or just a false statement.
Mostly I just move on to the next game.... eh, I know what you mean..... I blame MM for it!
