    So in theory one could be banned for making a negative review video?

    Vanguard was enough for me to nope out, but this just seems like more anti consumer bullshit to me.

          The article is very vague, I agree. But they do say

          For example, if a creator were to use hateful language

          And it doesn’t answer the question is because the question is irrelevant. But I do agree that the article is shit. One image of the said code of conduct shared on twitter was more informative than this article.

            My point is just that it doesn’t make sense to criticize the question for not reading the article if the article doesn’t answer the question, and what’s really needed to answer it is additional context. The broad scope of Riot’s statement could be construed to mean they could do more than just ban streamers for using hateful language.

              There was already another comment that added the relevant information so I didn’t repeat it and no, riots statement is pretty concise.

      Article and Riot’s official documents refer to penalising toxic (flaming teammates/other people) behaviour during content creation with Riot’ IPs. A negative review isn’t toxic inherently

      They have full legal rights to ban you for farting when the minute hand and hour hand aligned. This changes nothing in terms of what they “can” do. It’s rather their public announcement about what they “will” do. If they really wanted to ban you for silly reasons, they don’t even need these silly reasons, they can just ban you and are fully within their legal rights to do so.

      Negative reviews are the least likely scenario for banning someone in game, as the person has already reviewed it and needs no further acesss on that account for their stream.

      More likely they will punish people with an ever increasing range of ‘inappropriate’ that seems somewhat reasonable at first (hate speech) and end up with some minority group (LGBTQ+) being silenced through a chilling effect.
