"PVP" and "Cyrodiil" Gets you Banned on Twitch

SimonThesis

Wanted to keep this discussion going since the previous thread was taken down without explanation. SawmanUk made a video showing that he got banned on twitch during a bethesda live stream for typing "pvp" and "cyrodiil." Here is the original video:

tl;dw
1:03 "pvp" is banned by a mod
2:28 "cyrodiil" is banned by a mod
3:12 "cyro" is banned by a mod

Yeah this is really silly. Time to scale back that moderation. We need to be able to discuss PVP in a game that includes it as a major feature, obviously.

I can understand people who are way off-topic I guess but just the words "PVP" and "Cyrodiil" cannot, in any right mind, be bannable.

I'd like an official statement from ZOS on this. Because if they did it, it's utterly pathetic and they should apologize.

SimonThesis

I agree, we need an official statement explaining this. This behavior is disrespectful to the pvp community that has thousands of players in Pvp guilds.

I understand not wanting to talk about PvP during a primarily PvE update and even banning trolls. But we were promised an update and better communication following the incident in January.

I don't think banning people for using the words "PvP" or "Cyrodiil" communicates anything besides an utter lack of disrespect toward a portion of your community.

Zos is once again trashing their paying customers? Quelle surprise.

I don't even play PVP but I'm really sorry the company many of you have poured time and money into doesn't think you're worth their time and actively hides your voice. I'm really sorry. This truly sucks.

They instantly deleted Twitch chats. Does it really surprise you threads get removed?

Wait what?

forcefully shutting down threads just make people want to be louder about the subject, tbh
some respect and a paragraph or two about it explaining the current situation would go a long way

SimonThesis

The video explains the twitch situation pretty well!

Couldn't agree more the video and the previous thread has already been shared in over a dozen pcna pvp discords. A short statement explaining the situation and promising to do better would go a long way and would help fulfill their promise of better communication.

If what is in the video is actually untrue there is no reason to not make a statement stating as such. Deleting the thread just makes you look guilty.

Now whether people would actually believe that...

You don't have to answer any questions that don't exist.

Quoted post has been removed.

Wait what?

MODS.. just wanna say I LOVE CYRO AND PVP... it's like what I do in the game 90% of the time because I'm tired of PvE... so please let us chat about Cyro and PvP and all its goodness and potential greatness.. once the fixes happen...

Arthtur

Well it didnt take long xD Dont worry they will post "ESO PvP Update – May 2022" after that.

Ominer

well, it was nice hearing from you @SimonThesis thanks for letting people know. I don't know if we'll be hearing from you again in the future xd

Zos - " as we move forward with our comunication efforts we are deleting questions and subjects we dont want to talk about, from now on PVP shall outlawed and those who participate in such events will be shunned by the wider comunity. Please keep twith chat and forums as a positive as you can, khajiit rollplay is encouraged. Negativity and referances to pvp will be ignored and concidered toxic "

This whole post will self destruct when a mod finds it.

Love you

Woah woah, pvpers. They are working on it.
- A great classic was saying.

Is this how they are working on it?

It feels odd to be contributing towards someone's salary that just wants to see you go.

Dojohoda

We need an explanation about why Bethesda bans those particular ESO game terms during a twitch livestream.

My reply to this thread has disappeared

SimonThesis

^ This is how communication with the community will be improved it seems.

@ZOS_Kevin

BlossomDead

We shall be known as the PVπ players from now on.

neferpitou73

Just want to point out that on the day when we should be talking about new server hardware we're talking about this.

Why does ZOS continue to create these controversies for themselves?

Rogue_WolfESO

If certain words are no longer welcome on their twitch feeds, we have the right to know what those words are, in order to remain within the realm of acceptance.

Wolfpaw

This is exactly how Riot will win the PvP community here if we always get shut down. Not a bash on ZOS, just saying it would be nice to have discussions and Q&A w/o worrying a comment will get you 86'd.

VarisVaris

I guess they had to make it clearer they don't want pvp to exist guess they thought people would get the hint when they didn't nerf magdk on pts.

Synaptic

So they can't ban us for discussing "disciplinary actions" (let's be honest there was nothing to discipline in that video) taken on Twitch.tv which is not their platform so instead they just disappear the thread entirely.

Imagine treating the PvP community so poorly just because they dare ask for something that is being "worked on" since 2015 (you can look that up btw right here on the forums)

Nice one Mods.

Tra_Lalan

Banning players for using that frazes on twitch, and therefore deleting a threat about it is just unaccaptable.
Shuting peoples mouth by force isn't going to solve any problem, just make them more angry.

Great PR. Does ZOS want to discuss our (players) problems on alternative platforms? Our just make us leave the game?

TPishek

Really disheartening to see comments actively being deleted or edited, meaning they are looking at this, and there still being no statement. It feels like they don't think we're worth their time or that our opinions don't matter in the slightest.
