What I am talking about is the attitude taken when dealing with pro players who do something wrong, blizzard and also the mod team have a clear stand point that you are not allowed talk about these pro players when they do something bad that is reportable... Which even just saying that sounds ridiculous. There is not a single "real" sport where this censorship is allowed because it is a necessary part of sport and you can't just pretend that nothing bad happens. If people are not allowed to show their dislike for these actions then these players are let off too light and more importantly their audiences will think "hey because x is doing it on stream then it's okay for me to do it". These players put themselves in the public light and it is expected they accept the consequences when they do something wrong.

This attitude also leaves the unanswered question of what are the rules when there is more serious incidents, like drugging, hacking and match fixing. All of these things will happen if overwatch becomes big like CounterStrike and all of them are worthy of taking about.

Will the rules for "witch hunting" still stand then?

Side note:

Many people (including some moderators) do not understand the term witch hunting, it also doesn't help that there's a lack of good definitions, however you would think the term explains itself.

There is a reason it's called witch hunting and not something else, witches as we all (hopefully) know do not exist however there was a time when people thought they existed and wanted to kill them all. So when someone was accused of being a witch, their life was ruined even though they were innocent. So the term witch hunting implies that there's no definite evidence to suggest x person did y thing but people are still going after them.

This is bad, but what we saw was obviously not a witch hunt nor was it a groundless accusation. A member of the professional community documented his own wrong doings, that is as far as proof goes and is the opposite of witch hunting, and that's all there is to be said.
