Stream sniping is more than something like "Oh, I heard that *popular streamer* is at Chalman with the hammer, let's go over there because it's sure to be a big fight!" That's just normal PvP and map dynamics.

True stream sniping is the toxic, usually repeated, targeting of a streamer for the sole purpose of griefing them.

I used to play Starcraft and stream snipers would wait to queue until the exact moment that the streamer would queue, which would greatly increase the odds of getting paired with them in a match. Then they would just troll them by, for example, flying their Command Center all around the map, intentionally trying to waste the streamer's time and provoke a reaction. Truly kindergarten-level behavior.

In ESO, for example, it is watching a stream and noticing that the streamer is dueling in the Cyrodiil wilderness with their buddies and then trying to bow-gank them during the duel, following them around the map in a way that cannot be attributed to "random coincidence."

I hope that this illustrates the obvious differences between normal PvP with popular personalities and stream sniping.

It is wise practice to put your stream on a delay of at least 20 minutes to prevent this sort of thing from happening but the streamer should not have to resort to these types of defensive countermeasures simply to avoid being griefed.

Sorry, nothing you illustrated there is toxic.
Nothing there deserves a ban.
Nothing there is abusive or harassment in any way, by the commonly held, *real* definitions of those terms.

This is a case of [snip] dueling in a war-zone in the middle of a field --not even inside the protection of a keep-- and broadcasting their actions and location to the world at large, *by choice*, [snip]

[snip]

They made their choice to stream, for good or bad. Unless =true= abuse, stalking or threats occur, there is positively nothing toxic about showing people that there are consequences for their choices, for good or bad.

[snip]

I for one do not wish to join in a faction fight and come to find out that someone on my team is broadcasting *my* location, and *my* suggestions for tactics. [snip]

Dude, this is a video game forum, and this isn’t the role playing section. You may want to step away from the game for a while. [snip]

It's unnerving that the new TOS says they can access your facebook. I don't have facebook, so there's nothing there, or does that mean I'll be required to get facebook. Exactly how much private data does ZOS want access to in order to log in?

It's easy to,make a fake fb account ....if it comes to that
