He's been toxic since he was booted from IvDgaming in 2014 and TB banned him from Clan Wars for abusive behavior and slurs. More recently he keeps popping up for using racial slurs and harassing pro players and content creators. His Bnet account was silenced last year for using racial slurs, he was calling the balance council slurs/racial slurs on stream earlier this year, he keeps making up shit about pro players (ie Harstem) and attacking them publicly. I mean it's fine if taking down names from the sidebar isn't a thing, I just found it jarring to see his name up there after all the shit he's pulled just this year - I took it as an ad for his stream and tacit approval, that's all. Thought it'd be an odd place to send someone who is getting into the game. | ||

Also I don't think TL has any policy to do with removing streams unless someone can link one. Personally for me the whining is why I stopped watching him. | ||

 I personally feel these days it's more important than ever (online) to pro-actively make sure racist behaviour or spreading lies is not supported in any way and to make it as hard as legally possible to propagate such. Though this needs to be done in an ordered and especially transparent manner (for obvious reasons). Thus I also agree with LaughNgamez regarding the "present clear clips". Though I think proof in any form is fine. | ||

I'll include a brief list, I'm not here to prosecute the guy but Google's available for followups.

Recognizing his name, I opened up his stream right after the game ended just in time for him to complain about Protoss. | ||

If you think that's bad you should play davetesta. | ||

If I choose to not stick up a promotional poster in my shop for some act, am I censoring them? | ||

OP here is not the shop owner, he is another random customer that came in and saw a poster you had for a while and demanded it be taken down because they are "toxic" | ||

Either way, not promoting something isn’t censorship | ||

Being on the Featured Streamer list is a privilege, it isn't a right, and that privilege can be taken away if people are assholes. I can't comment on RuFF specifically because I don't watch his stream. But the idea that someone being removed from the Featured Streamer list is "censorship" is completely asinine. | ||
