DrLupo briefly banned on Mixer for impersonating himself Epic Games \/ MixerSuperstar Twitch streamer Ben \u2018DrLupo\u2018 Lupo was temporarily banned on Microsoft\u2019s streaming platform Mixer for impersonation. Mixer has been in the headlines over the past few days after Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins recently made the switch to the platform from Twitch and will stream exclusively on there for the foreseeable future. However, for Ninja\u2019s good friend DrLupo, the experience with Mixer has been less than ideal, after the popular personality found his account banned on August 4. According to an email sent to him on the matter, access to his account had been removed after their investigation led to the conclusion that he was trying to impersonate DrLupo, despite the account owner and the streamer being one and the same person. \u201cOn a more hilarious note for the day, I just got banned from Mixer for impersonation of myself,\u201d he tweeted. On a more hilarious note for the day, I just got banned from @WatchMixer for impersonation of myself. LMAO pic.twitter.com\/Frt31Kh5nO \u2014 DrLupo (@DrLupo) August 4, 2019 According to Mixer\u2019s official Rules of User Conduct, impersonation is considered a \u201cmore extreme\u201d rule violation, and those found guilty have a \u201cmuch higher chance of resulting in a global ban.\u201d Do not impersonate staff or other streamers. Having similar names is not automatically impersonation but should be avoided especially if one of the users is a partner, staff or other \u201cknown\u201d personality. Of course, considering that this instance was clearly not one of those cases, Mixer removed the ban on the account shortly thereafter, likely embarrassed after having been called out on their awkward mistake in front of over a million of DrLupo\u2019s Twitter followers. In light of Ninja\u2019s recent switch to Mixer, many were quick to jump to conclusions upon seeing Lupo\u2019s tweet, even questioning whether he was allowed to have an account on the platform, considering that he was such a prominent Twitch partner. However, the streamer clarified that he was allowed to make an account, as long as it was for talking in chats, which was corroborated with an affirmative response from Mixer\u2019s own Twitter account. \u201cI just have an account so I can talk in people\u2019s chats,\u201d he explained. \u201cThat\u2019s allowed, and frankly, probably encouraged.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
