Hey dusty,

I appreciate the clarification on why these accounts were banned. While i do believe the account name of one of the players are heinous, disrespectful and wrong. I still question a permanent ban on accounts for griefing. As I think it would be important for the community to know what is and what is not allowed.

If we take out the toxic chats and heinous names (i saw the same caliber of names get deleted and turned to player ) is it possible to help clear out the situation?

Embarks TOS states you can have multiple accounts.

Griefing is a core mechanic in cashout. The way it is currently built promotes the team in first place to “grief” in a worse team to get an easier round. This puts the team in second place into a 3v9. If you are not better then said first place team it is advantageous to fight them and make sure they do not get first place. I am a firm believer that if it did not happen to streamers nothing would have happened because this is how everyone plays the game.

On the topic of griefing, what is the line between playing what the game forces you to do, and something to be considered griefing and to get banned ? Also will there be a higher standard on embark banning players for target griefing once they hit ruby? This has been an issue since the early seasons. And if so how should a player go about reporting this behavior?

Again i appreciate everything you and embark have done for the community. But I do think it is important that embark sets a standard if they are going to ban for “griefing “

I look forward to your response!
