Seems anyone who made any mention of combat logging was banned from chat

[Weps]

Kinda late to the party, I didn't get to watch the stream, went over a few pages in this thread, but it's still not clear to me. So let me get this straight:

If at some point I would have joined the livestream and asked a simple question: "hey guys, what about combat logging?", and maybe I would not have known that the issue was asked or answered earlier, and I would have asked again: "combat logging, helloooo?", I would have gotten banned? Is that true?

I don't care about the issue of combat logging itself. FDEV does not do anything about it and currently deflects any incoming question, that much we know.

But banning customers from a livestream they took the effort to attend to? Is this really happening? From what I know there are already systems with YouTube so you can't just spam, so to me that's just a lame excuse.

Again, did this really happen last night?

From what I can gather people were spamming the chat with it. It wasn't just one or two people asking innocent questions, it was people determined to be a nuisance.

It was open spamming though. Also Questions were repeated after Sandro have given answers, as almost some of people in chat didn't watch stream at all. It was annoying.

Also it was quite clear FD won't talk about CL. People trying to coax info from FD looks really funny in their meta now.

LOL

People want FDev to ban people for CLing (which includes power brown-outs, network drops etc)... because it annoys the person attacking them.
But the salt generated when they get banned from a single stream for breaking the rules is astounding, when their actions were annoying everyone...

Double standards anyone?

Yes. That's usually how chat moderation works. If people start spamming a phrase, it is added to a list of forbidden expressions and whenever anyone types it it is removed instantly and the person writing gets a time-out.

They can still watch the livestream, the just take a break from writing in chat.

TL;DR: Clogs chat with off-topic messages, wonders why ban happened.

The stream had a topic. Combat logging was not it.

As above, the question has been answered and we do have existing threads on Combat Logging to discuss it in.

Closing,

We'll bear it in mind Threeofseven, and I definitely appreciate you guys coming along to chat

Hey Weps,

Viewers who continually spammed the chat after we had informed them we wouldn't be discussing Combat Logging at further length during the livestream were "timed-out" from the chat, they weren't banned. It's rare for us to ban someone who comments unless they repeatedly break rules or harass others, and we are more than happy for people to ask questions about any topic in the chat!

When we run a livestream that has as many topics of discussion/questions as last night's had, we note down all the questions asked in the chat to answer over the next few days on our forums. I hope this clarifies our position a little.
