Banned
If the guy was streaming porn and you linked to his stream – you linked to porn. And potentially commited a crime where you live by providing porn to minors. Be lucky they only banned you and didn’t refer you to law enforcement like some companies do.

This pretty much.
You should consider yourself lucky.
So I am banned for saying “he is streaming porn” and I link twitch stream link… I just say that to get viewers to guy who was streaming new patch cast… really? I got 71 hours ban for that?
I’m truly astounded that you thought referring to something as “porn” just to get more people to check it out seemed like a good idea.
You got a 71 hour suspension for that? It could have been a permanent ban and legal action.
He was streaming GW2 but I said “porn” to get more viewers…. (we got 30 in 2 sec)
I said that in the mists on Desolation server, we mess around every day and no1 really care… but now, 1 kitten reported me prop because there was no porn in the link… and btw “porn” and twitch link, really?

This still applies even if it was “just to get more viewers”.
what is wrong with porn? If they are bannig for saying that, why language filter dosnt pic up porn?
This is what is wrong with that. If the person WAS streaming porn, you were advertising porn. Big Bozo No-No. If the person was NOT streaming porn, you were assassinating his character/harrassing/lying about said person. You may have had innocent intentions, though it’s not rocket science to figure out talking about porn in-game isn’t the best idea, but others can not know your intentions.
Consider this a lesson learned, and yourself fortunate to only receive a 72-hour ban.

I guess you know better than to do it again now, right? So the suspension worked.

You were not banned. You were suspended. You did something wrong, it was reported or observed, and you were given a time out.
Solution: Don’t do that sort of thing again.
