Discussion xQc just banned from comp

He's streaming now and got banned mid round.

Edit: He abused the reporting system for "restricting others in their gameplay." he does randomly report people as a meme, so it looks like they did it to make their reporting system seem more legit from now on.

Edit (my thoughts): Sucks that he got used as the scapegoat, but on a positive note maybe this shows that they will take reporting more seriously from now on. I honestly doubt it, since they're clearly going after big names to set an example, while probably not actually fixing problems.

Racism/sexism/homophobia: muted on one account

Telling people to kill themselves: muted on one account

Throwing games: Occasional 24 hour ban on one account

But don't meme in reports, otherwise Reddit will throw a fit and you'll get a 72 hour IP ban.

Maybe if Blizzard took their report system more seriously and gave any indication that the reports were actually read, people would feel less like they're screaming into the void by reporting players.

It wasn't IP ban. He could log on to his smurf but chat told him not to.
