Seems silly for ZOS to worry about this. (I am still not sure what one of them means.)

If I made a FlopsyPrince.com website, would my name get banned? Don't we have enough other issues to worry about?

From the CoC, it is clear that ZOS does not want players advertising their business on ZOS services. Apparently, Twitch and YouTube streamers are considered a business, and those things in names are advertising, at least as far as this conversation is concerned. It makes me wonder what happened that prompted this. That said, I also have to wonder whether Forum signatures will lead to the same disciplinary actions, for the same whatever reason.

From my understanding, what happened was a popular PvP streamer at the top of the leader board for their alliance (by a pretty large margin) has TTV in their name. They likely got mass reported by salty people trying to catch up to him on the leader boards, or people that got deleted from Cyrodiil by him so Daddy ZoS stepped in. I am sure the 72 hour temp suspension will give them adequate time to catch up on the leader board.

Not like I'll see XX_Name_TTV and go "Oh I'll check out their stream" if anything you are an elitist who thinks they are great, go back to showing off in Apex or CoD

I watch a lot of ESO streamers, I will tell you right now... Every single one... Literally EVERY ONE, has been the most chill, laid back, helpful, and complete opposite of elitist. It's quite ironic just how BACKWARDS your perception is. Streamers do A TON of stuff for their community, and anyone can be part of it. You don't need to parse 100k to get an invite to follow them on their streaming platform of choice, and get assistance, group up with them, etc. They answer questions about the game, teach people different aspects of the game, and just sit back and have fun playing the game and communicating with their viewers. I think your perspective is a little skewed. Perhaps you have watched too many Apex/CoD streams?

Actually he was Emperor in Blackreach at that moment. This is exactly the kind of crap we were discussing with @ZOS_Kevin in that moderation thread

If that is the case, the ZOS ToS team seems very easy to manipulate. I remain cautiously skeptical.

Never ceases to amaze me that ZOS shows a lack of appreciation for American free speech culture with their continuous censorship and unessassary bans.

Sawman just made a video on it... it's sad what Zenimax is becoming... not a company that supports American's way of living.

It's sad to see that people can use abuse of the report feature as a weapon to get rid of competition in PvP, and ZOS ALLOWS this to happen too.

ZOS How about banning people who abuse the report feature? There used to be a notorious streamer (Sorry but that player was horrible in PvP) who would get angry all the time when he got defeated... would file up false reports on people live on stream accusing them of cheating and using speed hacks... ZOS Did NOTHING to this player... I wonder how many of this steamer's victims got banned as a result of this streamer's false reports?

How strange. Why wouldn't they want us to learn about places we can follow the game off stream?

Not like an indication of what a YT or TTV content creator name is directly leads to the person making money FROM ESO. We still need to actually do something outside the game.

Given the free publicity, I'm surprised.

I never would have started playing if not for Twitch, and I wouldn't have just resubscribed if not for it, either. Social media/streaming/content is all free advertising. What an odd policy.
