Twitch streamer claims he was \u201cunfairly\u201d banned for making fun of himself Twitter\/feinberg_mcTwitch streamer and Minecraft speedrunner \u2018Feinberg\u2019 is claiming that he was banned on the platform for making an alternate account that poked fun at himself. There have been quite a few Twitch bans over the years that many in the community have viewed as bizarre, but a recent suspension for an act of self-deprecation may be the strangest yet. On June 24, the streamer posted to Twitter that Twitch had taken action against him after he made an account called \u201cfeinbergsucks\u201d \u2013 poking fun at his existing account name. It\u2019s unclear if Twitch knew that it was Feinberg himself who made the account, but that didn\u2019t stop the Amazon-owned platform from suspending it. Hi @TwitchSupport my alternate twitch account “”feinbergsucks”” was perma suspended yesterday for an inappropriate name. Am I not allowed to poke fun at myself? I can’t stream or use twitch on my main in fear of TOS and I don’t believe the suspension is warranted please help me out \u2014 Feinberg (@feinberg_mc) June 23, 2021 \u201cHi Twitch Support, my alternate Twitch account \u2018feinbergsucks\u2019 was perma suspended yesterday for an inappropriate name,\u201d he wrote on June 23. \u201cAm I not allowed to poke fun at myself? I can\u2019t stream or use Twitch on my main in fear of TOS and I don\u2019t believe the suspension is warranted, please help me out.\u201d The streamer made an interesting point. It\u2019s against Twitch\u2019s rules to stream on another account while an alternate is suspended, and because it was indefinite, it\u2019s essentially a perma ban on his primary account, as well. One day later he tried again, once more tagging Twitch, hoping for some clarity. Hi @TwitchSupport day 2 of me being unfairly suspended on my alternate account “”feinbergsucks”” for making fun of myself!! I’ll delete the account or change the name I don’t care \u2013 I stream fulltime and will break ToS if I use my main account. Please help support case #05091932 \u2014 Feinberg (@feinberg_mc) June 24, 2021 \u201cHi Twitch Support, day 2 of me being unfairly suspended on my alternate account \u2018feinbergsucks\u2019 for making fun of myself!!\u201d he cried. \u201cI\u2019ll delete the account or change the name I don\u2019t care \u2013 I stream fulltime and will break ToS if I use my main account.\u201d Unfortunately, Twitch never responded, essentially leaving the streamer stranded and waiting for an email reply, which can take quite a long time. Twitch doesn\u2019t comment on individual suspensions and it\u2019s unclear if there was something else besides the name of the alternate account that could have contributed to the ban, but the situation has become one of the wildest in recent memory. Hopefully, Twitch can resolve this matter quickly so Feinberg can return to streaming, but for the time being, he\u2019s pretty much banned by proxy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
