Twitch streamer carjacked at gunpoint gets banned \u201cindefinitely\u201d [UPDATED] Instagram: JONNYZETATV \/ PixabayUPDATE 5:25PM PST SEPTEMBER 18: BeesOnMyHeadTV\u2019s \u201cindefinite\u201d Twitch suspension was short lived, as he has now been unbanned on the platform. Streaming service Twitch has banned \u2018BeesOnMyHeadTV\u2019 from its platform for the foreseeable future after he was carjacked and shot at during a live broadcast. While in-real-life broadcasting is a popular category on streaming websites such as Twitch and YouTube, sometimes it also brings the harsh reminder that life stops for no-one and unexpected and unpredictable things can happen. IRL streamer BeesOnMyHeadTV found this out the hard way during his livestream on September 14 after he was suddenly shot at and carjacked. Twitch suspended his account for the behaviour caught on camera, and has since informed the streamer that he won\u2019t be getting it back any time soon. Twitch banned the IRL streamer On September 16, BeesOnMyHeadTV tweeted out a screenshot of an email he\u2019d received from Twitch after his account was banned.

Fans flooded his replies with comments, unhappy that the streamer had been banned for the foreseeable future for a situation that wasn\u2019t his fault. Another person argued against the streamer\u2019s outrage, and said that Twitch made a logical decision in banning him, as it would forcefully remove the clip from its website. \u201cWhile it does suck that you got banned, Twitch did make the logical decision.\u201d the user commented. \u201cThey don\u2019t want a VOD going around on their site showing some maniac firing a gun off.\u201d \u201cSurely they could have accomplished this without the strike?\u201d a fan replied, questioning why the platform would suspend the IRL streamer instead of simply removing the video. Surely they could have accomplished this without the strike? \u2014 Some Dude (@OhMilkSteak) September 16, 2019 BeesOnMyHeadTV might be able to return to Twitch if he contests his ban with the streaming service, as it\u2019s been known to lift \u201cindefinite\u201d suspensions in the past.
