I mean honestly speaking, I think that the fact that the ban was the first thing to go to is a BIT excessive. Like what most others were saying, it's not like they were saying "ZARP sucks come play X server!" I feel that a ban is excessive over something that isn't in the Discord rules or TOU as of 8/16/2020. Especially when this issue has been brought up constantly over the past couple days, I feel the owners need to come out with a statement of what their definition of Advertising is. To me simply saying the name of a server is not advertising.

Furthermore, Xnator and I had a discussion about advertising in staff chat in discord. Anyway, Xnator said that it would be ok to say "I'm gonna go play VALORANT with X, wanna join?" he used this specific example.


Now there is no beating around the bush zarp is in a slight decline. The way I see it is if someone was streaming VALORANT in the discord, that is still taking players from the zarp servers. So if they are streaming, lets say asap; it would have the same effect. So to say that its okay to say that I'm getting off to go play a different game, then it should be ok, or at the very least not be considered advertising to stream perp.
