Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
You want them to somehow stop him from playing their game?
Yes. Ban him.
If anything, musk getting bullied is great PR. where else can you have a direct line to a billionaire and talk shit? Only on PoE. Buy it today!
That doesn't fly with me.
It does with me. A lot.
Fuck him.
You must know that's not how that works right? You want them to prevent him from buying the game... Somehow? And since they're not doing this weird impossible thing they're on your shit list? This is definitely one of the dumbest things I've heard here
Dude broke the TOS by buying accounts. Cut and dry.
Why make the same comment twice? This one doesn't even make sense for the post you responded to
Doesn't it require a connection to their servers to play?
There is an eula that I'm sure doesn't cover "not being Elon Musk" and they do not id their users so even if they banned the richest man's one account I'm betting he could afford another. To expect the game devs to do anything about him is beyond absurd
I dunno. If I had a game, I'd put "no billionaires" in the Eula. There's way worse stuff in most eulas anyway.
But it probably covers buying and selling accounts
Fair, they should ban accounts that they have verified he bought, is this one he's streaming with the same one?
And again:
Given how little he cares about laws, contracts, and judgments, why try to be better than him?
Because it's not about how good or bad you are when the problem is practicality?
They can.
By shunning, and shaming him.
Ostracization, or for the dumb "Cancelling," has worked since Ancient Greece, and longer.
Ftfy. The community can, and according to this post is doing a good job of it (which I'm happy about). But the game devs can't anymore than you can. Should I be angry at you for not being in that stream ostracizing him?
Do their terms and services not have policies about buying accounts? Like, I’m pretty sure if he did the same in OSRS, that would be bannable.
