Twitch streamer allegedly suspended after mass reports from obsessed fan A Twitch streamer is begging the platform to reverse his ban after a disgruntled player mass reported him after being denied a game of League of Legends with the broadcaster. While being a popular Twitch streamer can undoubtedly have its perks, it\u2019s not always a cakewalk, as broadcaster \u201cAtaras\u201d found out in late November. Although many online personalities boast positive and supportive communities, their fame can come with a price, with obsessive fans stalking, harassing, and even attempting to ruin streamers\u2019 livelihoods based on perceived slights. Ataras was the victim of one such obsessed fan, who had a unique (and headache-inducing) way of showing their rage. Rather than sending mere hate mail, Ataras\u2019 fan created a slew of burner Twitch accounts and mass reported his channel, after allegedly being denied a game of LoL with the broadcaster and later being banned in his chat. someone on reddit asked to post the suspension email so hereee it is pic.twitter.com\/IzHb9zwxS3 \u2014 Atahan (@At_Tar_Ras) November 29, 2019 Ataras posted a series of Discord screenshots from his conversation with the fan, who admitted to the offense and even claimed to have made \u201ca ton\u201d of accounts with \u201crandom\u201d names to report him. That\u2019s not all: the fan even took to his YouTube channel and left threatening comments, writing, \u201cI can do this over and over again,\u201d and, \u201cHow does it feel to get banned on Twitch, kid?\u201d . @Twitch @TwitchSupport I banned someone in my stream for stream sniping in my league of legends game and he retaliated to that by making false accounts to mass report my channel and he ACTUALLY got me SUSPENDED FOR 14 DAYS. pic.twitter.com\/R6ZIuixaOD \u2014 Atahan (@At_Tar_Ras) November 25, 2019 That wasn\u2019t the end of the drama, either, as Ataras managed to get on a voice call with the fan to try and reason with them \u2013 but it didn\u2019t end in a positive compromise. \u201cI want you to say that you\u2019re not gonna mess with me anymore,\u201d Ataras pleaded. \u201cYou\u2019re not gonna report my s*** again.\u201d \u201cOn one condition,\u201d the fan answered. \u201cYou gotta play with me.\u201d THIS IS THE GUY THAT GOT ME SUSPENDED. HE THREATENED TO REPORT ME AGAIN AND IM FUCKING SCARED MAN @Twitch @TwitchSupport IF I ALREADY GOT SUSPENDED THE FIRST TIME WHEN I DIDN’T BREAK ANY RULES, HOW DO I KNOW IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN ?!!?!? HELP ?!?!?!?!?!? pic.twitter.com\/KJcQtflLAp \u2014 Atahan (@At_Tar_Ras) November 29, 2019 Another conversation with the fan revealed him to be homeschooled, with Ataras begging the fan to receive help for his apparent distress and loneliness. Still, it doesn\u2019t look like the fan is budging \u2013 and neither is his ban, as Ataras\u2019 channel is suspended for 14 days in the wake of the drama. With top streamers like \u201cSweet Anita\u201d being stalked by obsessive fans, Ataras\u2019 situation marks the latest concerning event in the ongoing struggle of online personalities to retain their privacy in an ever-increasingly social world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
