She didn't even hear it so a bit unjustified

Doesn't matter if she did or didn't, he made the joke showing off to friends trying to act cool on a public platform, He now scored himself a perm ban from Runescape and twitch. You reap what you sow, Was a good laugh last night when he was doing it, and you all commenting suicide jokes in his chat?

But now the repercussions have come about and no-one wants to pay the price.

I think everyone who was apart of what he did thinking it was a funny joke should be removed from this game. easy.

Considering people like you only have the one clip to go off I'll explain the rest. Firstly we weren't laughing about it being funny, it was 'holy crap he actually said that' nervous laughter (well for me at least, I don't know what the others were thinking to themselves). If the vod was still up you could hear him call her back and both acting normally, not how someone who just had that said to them would act.

Well to me it doesn't matter, Ive heard the extra, "I was drunk, she was muted", All that sure you can try and justify it, but a joke or not, Knowing the person is suicidal and making that joke is not funny, as someone who has lost people to suicide this is not a funny joke, I can appreciate dark humor in many ways, Even suicide jokes I don't get bent up about, but even pretending to tell someone who is suicidal to kill themselves, muted or not at the time just for a rise and a joke, its not acceptable or funny. And I think aside from his friends who are here to defend and advocate so much for him, I think what has happened is well deserved.

Nothings stopping him from starting over, a pain yes, but still start over, learn from his mistakes and know what he did wasnt ok and will never be ok.

Banning people for things they did outside of the game is a slippery slope and a poor judgment call, it should have been left for Twitch to deal with; would you apply a penalty to people doing drugs on stream who happen to be playing Runescape as well?

Please do not punish people simply because Reddit told you to do so. Buzzfeed wrote an article about me

Jagex have always banned people for serious IRL rulebreaking and incidents. This isn't anything new.

Banning someone for off-game/site activity is always extremely stupid.
I'm not defending the guy but judging Jagex by their stupidity.

This should never happen.

Doing so while streaming Jagex's game directly and poorly reflects their game itself and they are completely within their right to ban him for doing so, especially since he is breaking (or appearing to break) real world laws at the same time.

ToS clearly state all User Content:
""Must Not:
> be obscene, hateful, inflammatory, threatening, harassing, sexually explicit or deceptive or fraudulent in anyway;
> promote violence or discrimination, promote or endorse any illegal activity or otherwise be objectionable""

""User Content" means all information of any kind (including text, images, video, information and messages) uploaded or sent by users on or in connection with Jagex Products."

At this point there's very little room to argue it.

Thank you for following up on this. Having had the opportunity to visit Jagex last year, it was extremely clear how passionate everyone there is about mental health and how serious situations such as this one are taken when it impacts the greater community.

just dumb. big disappointment in jagex for giving into outrage culture for something that isn't even against the rules. he said one comment as a joke that she didnt even hear on another platform. she doesnt even play rs or watch his streams thats his irl friend.

its the fact he said it on twitch streaming runescape content. If he didnt had runescape in the background he wouldn't have gotten banned.
Another thing its just bad to say it to anyone i dont care if you justify it it actually can trigger people to commit suicide.
It is certainly not a thing to joke about. Maybe his viewers think its funny or his friends, the community doesnt find it funny in the slightest.
