Bullshit, saying it's only a joke is a disingenuous defense.

'Hey your baby is ugly!.'

"What?"

'Just joking...'

Saying you are joking is not a defense. Rallying your fan base around making fun of someone is wrong.

Joke or not.

It seems he took down all of his "defense" videos and such, and his account is unlocked and he's back to streaming. I guess cooler heads prevailed on both his and GGG's parts.

Nah its a new or use an alt account, his main is still locked until 3.14.

Generally when GGG bans an account you have, or even locks it, they allow you to make a new one. In most cases.

GGG won't as it's violates their own privacy rules.

It's why GGG told him it's up to him if he posts the emails.

Ah, didn't realize he was rolling on an alt. I don't watch him normally because I find him too irritating most of the time, but I noticed he was streaming again. I didn't really expect that considering his protest stance or whatever at the end of his last video. I just assumed they had worked things out.

Well, at least he wisened up and took down his videos regardless. The only winner in all of that nonsense was the troll who targeted a streamer he doesn't like. Great success on his part heh.

If that meets the standard of harassment then every single person on the PoE subreddit should be permabanned and 90% of the forums too.

Yeah, because they hope addicts spend money on that new account again :'D

To be fair, Twitter,reddit & ResetEra are where people that are thorns of society gathers, moderated by the same nutcases. That is why they are so bold.

They can say the worse things, made the worse threats, but all is okay as long as the target people are the "enemy groups". You can say something that isn't particularly bad or offensive, but the nutcases can claimed its not what you said, its what is "implied" & BS "putting people in damger" & ban you if you atack the "protected groups".

It does meet the standards of harassment, at least in my book. And no, it is more like 20-30%, those people are just more visible because they are more aggressive in promoting their views. But quite honestly, I wouldn't mind if they were all banned (or better yet, suspended until they stop harassing other people - their points of view still hold value, it would just be nice if they could communicate them in a more civilized manner).

I always try to be a decent human being, and not insult people. Be fair to people. Have civilized discussions. It is sometimes difficult, I admit ;).

So its a privacy rule to ban/suspend someone without telling them why?

I have no stock in this drama. I watched some of PoM videos & think he is decent. But if he is not, I am happy to say so & stop watching him.

My only beef is there must be transpency when you decided to ban/suspend someone.

Its good to let them know what excactly they did wrong (or wronglyfully accused) & others to learn not to doe these.
