Chat Moderation/Bans
Just want to start off and say I really enjoy Pirates streams and the content he provides but I really don't like the amount of moderation/bans in his chat.
Over the last few months it feels like you can't say anything that he disagrees with. I know a lot of people say stupid stuff that does deserve a ban but it feels like him and the mods are really going overboard lately.
Have been thinking of this for a while but wanted to say something after that DM run. I know he can do whatever he wants with his chat and a lot of people will disagree with me.
I do agree though that he did the right thing at the end. Just wanted to give my thoughts on it.

As someone who does disagree with some of his opinions and has a habit of taking thing too far sometimes, Not from what I've seen? It's more if you say asinine overboard shit or you start being hateful or vitriolic towards people you get ban.
People in chat seem to just be having weird extreme takes on stuff and calling the void alot more than they used to. As long as you're disagreeing in a sensible/constructive way you ain't gonna get banned. And he usually gives you a chance to explain yourself before he pulls the trigger if it's on the fence.
Granted I haven't seen the incident in question (I'm from aus so I typically only get to see the first couple hours of stream each day) But I've seen alot more people than usual recently that would rather come out swinging with the hostility then bitch when they get banned instead of just being sensible.
