Were Relic in the wrong for censoring and banning people on the stream?

I heard it was an utter disaster, but what really concerned me was this:

Relic, you don't treat a customer like that, its just bad business and childish

EDIT: Watched the Stream and will say what I heard was complete trash, Relic may have been a little draconian but no where near as bad as I heard. so guys can we please stop hating on Relic and balance when we aren't professionals and instead theorize new and inventive play styles for the factions!

Not gonna vote just yet because I want people to be aware Relic wasn't the only one doing the muting/chat banning in there. Poll is missing two options.

Well it may look like Relic is the evil guy here but there are two things you may want to think about: Who banned him and what for?

I heard there are mod in this stream who aren't Relic employees. So maybe the evil guy was in fact a community member and not someone from Relic.

Plus getting banned for such a statement seems inappropriate but what if there is a bigger story behind this? This picture is clearly edited so we don't know the whole story.

Well that screenshot is not very useful as a proof because it doesn't show if there might be other messages from that person that lead to the ban. Under the assumption that there were only those messages that lead to the ban and it was not an accident (when chat is going fast it is very easy to accidentally ban the wrong person on Twitch) this is obviously pretty bad and I doubt anyone serious is going to argue against that.


edit: Also the mentioned possibility that a community moderator was responsible, of course. I don't know if you can even check on Twitch who did this.

To be honest, we need to see the content of that deleted message. There were a lot of people that spammed that question and no one got banned for doing so since that's a very legit and politely put question. I find it very strange that any mod in that stream (the only mods besides Relic were Renner and myself by that time) would ban anyone for that so my guess is that the deleted message had some other content.

If that is not the case, then it's really weird and could've been a misclick.
If not, yeah, then it's very very disrespectful.

I remember seeing Luvnest post the exact same question at some point.
I dont know what happened, but my guess is someone just kept spamming the same question.
Just a guess though

there are multiple issues here.

one would be what he (and others) were banned for.

another would be that they are responsible for their moderators, whether or not they're part of relic (and if they're not that's another issue).

It's not about OOOOOHHHHHHH POOR COMMUNITY and EVIL RELIC, it's about some bad apples in the community (Am I using it right?) and some harsh reactions from the relic. Moderation is one of the basic needs of the internet because of trolls, we all know that. But I think that was a bit too much.

It might be unrelated but we live in a world which people can do or say in the name of freedom of speech. Why can't we- A small gaming community- ask legit questions about a game we care about?

Thank you! When I made this thread I only read the beginnings of the BIG thread on this, now I realize their completely wrong so I think this will make it more appropriate. Also you you unlock my other thread and rename it to something along the lines of injust community hate to Relic.

I asked couple of different questions in the chat each one got passed over, instead of constantly repeating myself and getting aggravated I simply got over it, moved on to ask a different one.

As of yet no one can explain to me why I got chat banned after my last question which was, and I quote, "How do you guys PERSONALLY feel about currently considered 'useless commanders'? Any one care to take a stab at it? I'd still like to know why I got chat banned for asking that.
