In the grand scheme of things, a 10 day ban is nothing. A streamer was caught publicly using tools that have been clearly stated as being against the ToS. SE needed, and continue to need to, give punishments of significance to show how serious they really are about this.

For context; singling someone out and disciplining them in public is a HUGE faux-pas in Japan. That they very publicly banned a Japanese player mid-stream is of much more significance than most Westerners realize.

People who get pissed off that someone violating the ToS gets caught and has to deal with the repercussions of his actions is of no consequence in the matter. SE have to hand out punishments when they catch people breaking the ToS and in this case, they did it in a big way. The message is loud and clear.

It's against the rules, he got caught, and has to live with the result of his choice. I have no sympathy for the guy.
