Recent Developments of TOS Actions Taken

[Hash_Browns]

Update the ToS and be fair.

Not that I agree with the ban or anything, but:

PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

In addition to the License Limitations, there are other activities that you are forbidden from doing in connection with the Game ("Prohibited Activities"). In its discretion, Square Enix may use a variety of methods to deal with violations of this User Agreement and the Prohibited Activities, including, but not limited to, any of the following:

Issuing a warning;

Placing a character in a "virtual jail" for a specified period of time;

Removing or deleting ill-gotten in-game items or currency;

Temporarily suspending an account;

Permanently terminating an account;

Permanently banning your IP address, residential address, or credit card number;

Asserting a lawsuit for breach of contract, copyright infringement, or other cause of action as may be applicable; and/or

Seeking injunctive relief in any court or jurisdiction to prevent you from continuing such activity.

It's already in the ToS.

Yeah, I was looking to see any changes and was about to update
my previous post about it. They also said this here.
"To keep our players safe, we will continue to keep track of trends both in online games and in the real world, as well as remaining vigilant of the social norms of our time."

The thing is with this guy, he had all his info right there so...
I can take the "vent" topic as an example of people talking about their frustrations.
Not once, have I ever seen anyone call out a person by name.

@Nedkel - It'll be tricky to go on about Photo Manipulation yeah but
this wasn't the case here. As said, the guy has his entire info out in public
so it was a no-brainer to knock him down. Unless the dude has an
evil twin somewhere lol.

I believe once the line is being crossed about whether the player knows they are being talked about is honestly the turning point. I can't seem to find any clips of what was going on exactly, all of them have been deleted now - but from what I understand, the BLM in the group was also being an ass, and sassing him a bunch.

BLM was most likely in his stream as well, and when you start doing things like this:


(without the red box, I added that)

You are pretty much asking to be banned by SE.
He also apparently had some sounds that would trigger when the BLM messed up or something, and received donations from viewers also shit talking the blm.

This isn't even the first time he's done something like this, but I assume it's more of a character he plays up.
