AB Gossip

S is a small streamer. Has PMed me and asked me to visit his channel a couple of times, which I find a bit creepy. But it also seems like nobody ever raids him. Yet people treat him cordially.

So he had to make a new account, S2, because his main account is having login issues. He told me this because we have a cordial relationship. But when I greeted him as S in AB's channel he PMed me saying that he'd rather keep it secret there because his main account was banned.

Now, AB is very tolerant of trolls and rarely bans anyone. So S must have done something pretty bad to get banned. I'm very curious and could maybe ask one of my mod friends to look at the account history to see if there's a mod note, ban note, or clue in the message history. But I haven't asked.

Anyway, so a month or so later AB is streaming and S2 is there. And when S2 is there he tends to @ the streamer and chat with me and sometimes the streamer chats back and AB was doing that, chatting back to S2. Then C tells AB who S2 is (and I haven't told anyone but S2 wasn't really keeping it secret, often saying in chat this was an alt account of S). AB thanks C and then proceeds to ignore anything that S2 @s to AB. This goes on for a few minutes and a few messages from S2 and eventually he's timed out or I'm thinking banned.

So whatever S did, it's definitely not forgiven. And I'm not sure how many people noticed that exchange.

Oh, I did end up blocking the main S account when he went to N's stream and was really coming on hard offering to give N chess lessons. I find that creepy because people repeat their offers while N politely ignores them then finally says she doesn't want lessons from random streamers. There's a whole group of chess streamers/viewers who I blocked for that behavior in N's channel and S was one of them.
