Recent Developments of TOS Actions Taken

[linay]

I said if they're going to use Twitch videos as evidence now, when they haven't in the past. It should apply to everyone, regardless of their popularity or verification status on Twitch.

Actually, the verification status might be a differentiating factor. It's one thing to take outside evidence from someone else and it's another when it's a self-implicating evidence even if it's from an outside source.

That's why Im more worried about it and mainly din't touch the chat

An example I found in Reddit (Can't verify tho)

I was downvoted to hell when they notified everyone about changing the TOD for harassment a while back. They made the language so vague that even telling someone how to do mechanics could be considered “criticism of play style” and worth a suspension.

I was suspended a few weeks ago for 3 days. My offense? During one of the raids, I asked in chat, “does anyone not know the mechanics? You have to actually stand in the circles and save the LB for the end.” That was my only message.

I was then told I’d be suspended for offending another persons play style. I said I only gave advice after confirming that raid was indeed the reason I was getting suspended.

I was told by the GM, “even advice violates our TOS if another play feels uncomfortable.”

It was unbelievable. I screenshot it and showed my wife. I literally do not use chat at all anymore for fear of it happening again. I ignored everyone and everything.

That would be bad, if true, but like you said, it can't be verified. That said, I don't think it's beneficial to live in fear of what is presumably a fringe case, as that seems a weird example of a violation.
