Not only "on the internet", at any point in life there is no correlation between age and maturity. | ||

Now let us assume you got paid $50 for every day you didn't press the button. holy bad analogy dood. | ||

Not even all the time in 1 day. But while you are in a tournament, why wouldn't you add a delay? Hell, if I was in a relatively large tournament I had a chance to win, I wouldn't stream at all. It would be $35 instead of $50 for that one day, but you'd have a better chance of winning the tournament. | ||

Making sure you don't get cheated isn't that big of a deal yo... obviously except for dragon being a bit silly, most people only stream ladder games, since most leagues these days like to put some time into production they dont like the players streaming the league games anyway, so its not a big deal, unless people were planning on running some kind of event based on ladder rankings oh wait  | ||

Should Dragon learn from this experience? Yes. Does this absolve the stream cheater from all blame? Hell no. It is his fault, 100%. There's absolutely no question about this, and his position is absolutely indefensible if he did, in fact, stream cheat (and there is apparently evidence that he did). Also, I wasn't aware that calling people who disagree with you on this subject "retarded" is the classy thing to do nowadays. | ||

If there is obvious proof that someone stream cheats they should be outed as a cheater obviously. Making something easy doesn't make it right. I could never lock my house doors, if I get robbed its still a crime... a girl can dress slutty and hang around dark alleys, doesn't make raping her O.K. | ||

No doubt stream cheating exists. But just because your favorite player lost doesn't mean there was cheating involved. | ||

Stream cheating shouldn't be taken lightly, especially if ESPORTS wants to gain some sense of acceptability within soicety. "I think many stream watchers completely blow stream cheating out of proportion" This was a competitive match. If the match is important to you, don't stream it in a way that is easy to cheat off of (no delay, completely live.) While it isn't right to do, every streamer takes the risk and they KNOW that it is possible. As I said, I'm not trying to excuse anyone who is proven 100% to stream cheat. But throwing blame at something that is impossible to proof is kind of silly, so it's best to just avoid the situation by streaming with delay when you are worried about these things. I'm just gonna ignore the first line of your post, because that's pretty ridiculous. I stream plenty of tournament games live just for fun because I am taking that risk to enjoy my games with fans. | ||

I could never lock my house doors, if I get robbed its still a crime... a girl can dress slutty and hang around dark alleys, doesn't make raping her O.K. I don't think you are understanding the argument at hand here. Not to mention your analogies quite off. I haven't seen a post that said "Stream cheating isn't bad at all, it's 100% legit!". If you misconstrued something someone said to that, oh well. But the argument here is that by streaming without delay, you should expect to be stream-cheated from time to time. That isn't saying that stream-cheating is OK, but rather that it is your own fault. If you are worried about stream-cheaters, then use a delay if your ladder points are that important to you. Streaming a tournament without a delay(I would go so far as to say that streaming a tournament from your perspective period) is simply ASKING for it. Money is on the line, and people will do what they can to better their chances of acquiring that money. If that means stream-cheating, then so be it. It will happen. | ||

It will happen. talking about fault is stupid/pointless. its all about what is acceptable or not in a community, and what standards members of the community want. i'd ideally want TL to be a place of great respect and consideration. therefore i think its perfectly acceptable for people who stream-cheat to be called out about it to a certain extent. | ||
