Twitch bans streamer for \u2018inappropriate name\u2019 despite using it for 8 years YouTube: Piece_Of_Sheet \/ TwitchTwitch has been heavy handed with the DMCA bans over the last couple of weeks, but one streamer has been taken off the platform for having an \u2018inappropriate name\u2019 \u2014 despite being active for over eight years with no issues. The Twitch suspensions you usually see nowadays \u2014 especially from the big names \u2014 are for things like using inappropriate language, or being taken off the platform for playing DMCA-protected music. Usually these suspensions are for a few days or a week, unless they\u2019ve done it time and time again. However, imagine being on the platform for years under the same alias, with no problems whatsoever, and then getting banned indefinitely for your name. Well, that\u2019s what happened to one Twitch streamer. His name is \u2018Piece_Of_Sheet\u2019. He\u2019s a League of Legends content creator who used to stream six days a week, and has done so for eight years. However, he\u2019s had that taken away from him, after Twitch considered his name to be inappropriate. ??? I streamed on twitch back in 2012 when https:\/\/t.co\/VRor37DyKu was more popular\u2026.been super active for 8 years (no complaints from anyone) but now get banned for an inappropriate name? Can someone at support look into this please? Hoping this is a mistake. @TwitchSupport pic.twitter.com\/FUf5ny0cpt \u2014 Piece of Sheet (@pieceofsheet) November 6, 2020 \u201cI streamed on Twitch back in 2012 [and] been super active for eight years [with] no complaints from anyone but now get banned for an inappropriate name,\u201d he said on Twitter after the ban was handed down. Twitch claimed that \u201cdue to the severe nature of this violation, or the fact that [he\u2019s] incurred multiple violations,\u201d Piece_Of_Sheet needs an indefinite suspension. The suspension will not be automatically lifted, and the only hope Piece_Of_Sheet has of getting his Twitch account back is a successful appeal. Piece_Of_Sheet did admit he has been banned on stream before, but he also served out that suspension. \u201cI fell asleep on stream once about seven years ago and got banned for that. The ban was then obviously lifted.\u201d I feel asleep on stream once about 7 years ago, and got banned for that. The ban was then obviously lifted, and the staff member that banned me actually ended up staying around the stream for months because he enjoyed the stream and the content. \u2014 Piece of Sheet (@pieceofsheet) November 6, 2020 Twitch are yet to comment on the suspension. However, we will let you know if any new information arises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
