So, this didn't even happen to me, but to my friend who is actually a great player. He's been banned couple of times for "unusual gameplay paterns" for 24h, get's unbanned, nothing special. But this is where things get pretty annoying. So, friend of mine (the one that is actually good at the game) is playing EU Ranked, runs to a full pro team ( at least one of them is PUBG Partner), deletes all four of them, sends them back to lobby, plays few more games and goes offline. The next day he gets a notification that he got DEVELOPER BAN FOR 14 DAYS due to "disruptive behavior to other players". 14 DAYS! Basically accused for stream sniping. I, at least think that's the reason, stream sniping, correct me if I'm wrong. There is no evidence or explanation for so called stream sniping, not an e-mail, notification, nothing. AND HE STREAMS ON TWITCH HIMSELF. So you can see on VOD and on clip that streamsniping accusation is bullsh*t. When we investigated a little, it turns out that PUBG Partners do this (not all of them of course, just a tiny amount of toxic one i guess), they get killed from someone and report to developers for "stream sniping", and they just BAN them for 14 days. No evidence, no chance to explain themselves, no warning, nothing. N-o-t-h-i-n-g.

So I guess, we, non-streaming or non-partner players should leave the game immediately when we see a PUBG partner or a streamer in kilfeed just to be sure we are not getting banned or accused of stream sniping if we somehow kill them in game.

It's so annoying and toxic.

Just to confirm: No, PUBG Partners can not do this.

You stated in your post “disruptive behaviour to other players”. I’m not sure this is the accurate wording you have shared. However, this is not a message related to a ban for stream sniping.

I’m sorry to hear your friend feels they were wrongly banned. But please direct them to contact PUBG Support if they feel it was an incorrect ban.

I hope this helps 😊

EDIT: I've sent you a chat message with more information!

Hi, thanks for your time to clarify some details. I will say again what i said few times here. Myself, and in my opinion, 90% people here knows Partners can't ban directly. And I'm sorry if someone was mislead by the title.

Can you then please explain what does "disruptive to other players" means in terms of banning someone? Tnx.

I've sent you a chat message with more information. I'd advise reviewing this :-)

RE "90% people here knows Partners can't ban directly" Unfortunately, this isn't the case. I see this almost daily that players accuse streamers of banning players for all sorts of silly reasons.

I'm glad to see you agree this is not the case, but unfortunately most people only read the title and make their opinion
