Twitch bans GeorgeNotFound permanently again for \u201charassment\u201d in his username YouTube: GeorgeNotFoundMinecraft YouTuber and streamer GeorgeNotFound has been banned from Twitch \u2013 for a second time in 24 hours \u2013 for what Twitch is now calling \u201charassment via username.\u201d George\u2019s main channel, which has just under 3 million followers, is still available, but Twitch rules mean that he will not be able to stream on that account either, as it would be considered ban evasion. The username of his alt account was simply \u2018ThisIsGeorgeNotFound\u2019. On March 13, he was banned indefinitely for having an \u201cinappropriate username.\u201d Then, on March 14, he has been banned again \u2013 with the rule now changed to \u201charassment via username.\u201d The ban is indefinite, and so George will need to appeal before he\u2019s allowed back on the platform, unless Twitch realizes a mistake and corrects it. GeorgeNotFound banned for Twitch username GeorgeNotFound revealed the ban and its reason on his second Twitter account, joking \u201cMY NAME IS TOO INAPPROPRIATE. SORRY GUYS I MESSED UP :(\u201d The ban email states \u201cbased on a review of your activity or content, we have issued a Community Guidelines strike on your account. Due to the severe nature of this violation, or the fact that you\u2019ve incurred multiple violations, your access to Twitch services is indefinitely restricted.\u201d The reason was then simply stated as \u201cusing an inappropriate username.\u201d MY NAME IS TOO INAPPROPRIATE. SORRY GUYS I MESSED UP \ud83d\ude41 pic.twitter.com\/kBRyLzm2KH \u2014 George (@GeorgeNootFound) March 13, 2021 GeorgeNotFound banned again Then, on March 14, the same channel was hit with another ban, surprising for another username-related issue, and once again the ban was indefinite. This time, the reason given was more explanatory. Twitch claims that the username either \u2018explicitly insults another user,\u2019 \u2018threatens negative action towards another user,\u2019 or promotes self-harm in conjunction with malicious chat activity, such as telling another user to kill themselves.\u2019 One possibility is that Twitch is unaware that this is in fact George\u2019s alt account, and believes it to be an imposter pretending to be him. Other streamers have also been mistakenly banned for their usernames in the past, before Twitch eventually overturned them. Twitch apologized after banning a streamer with the name Pajja_, a word that has a colloquial meaning in Spanish. However, other streamers who have been banned permanently for seemingly innocuous usernames have still not been unbanned, so there are no guarantees. GeorgeNotFound was also banned from TikTok in February, but it was reinstated within hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
