Twitch changes ban rules after streamers talk to Dr Disrespect while live YouTube\/DrDisrespectTwitch has covertly changed its rules for streamers in regards to playing with others who have been banned on the platform, such as Dr Disrespect. Being banned on Twitch can be a major issue for anyone looking simply game, as other streamers may feel the need to avoid you out of fear of being banned themselves. Now, however, it would seem like the site is loosening its rules. Previously, Twitch\u2019s \u201csuspension evasion\u201d community guidelines rules were listed as: \u201cAny attempt to circumvent an account suspension or chat ban by using other accounts, identities, personalities, or presence on another user\u2019s account will also result in suspension.\u201d This basically meant that for streamers who wanted to play with someone who had been banned on the platform weren\u2019t allowed to. However, big names such as 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot and Call of Duty pro Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter had a bit of a scare when they spoke with Doc during Vikkstar\u2019s Warzone tournament in September. The concern even resulted in Call of Duty icon Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez calling out Twitch over the fear streamers have for being banned if they engage with the two-time. \u201cIf I\u2019m Twitch I\u2019m going to take a little bit of a chill pill and say, \u2018okay, he\u2019s not there presently, it\u2019s only 99% of his personality that\u2019s being broadcast on a Twitch channel,\u2019\u201d he remarked. On September 22, the platform apparently listened and updated its community guidelines to be more clear on how Doc\u2019s ban could impact other streamers. \u201cIn addition, it is prohibited to use your channel to knowingly feature or advertise a suspended user,\u201d the new information states. \u201cWe understand that there may be instances where suspended users may appear on your stream due to circumstances beyond your control, such as through third-party gaming tournaments, but we expect that you make a good faith effort to remove them from your broadcast, mute them, or otherwise limit their interactions with your stream.\u201d While this news is good and appears to guarantee that Nadeshot and Crimsix won\u2019t be getting suspended, it does still seem like they won\u2019t be able to ever play with Dr Disrespect in any sort of way that requires communication and teamwork. Twitch infamously banned Dr Disrespect back on June 26 and still hasn\u2019t explained what the streamer did to deserve being permanently kicked off the platform. Doc has since moved to YouTube where he now streams full-time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
