When is Forsen coming back to Twitch? Indefinite ban shrouded in mystery Activision BlizzardPopular streamer Sebastian \u2018Forsen\u2019 Fors picked up a ban of \u2018indefinite duration\u2019 from Twitch after (accidentally) showing an inappropriate image live on stream. The strange thing is, we\u2019ve barely heard from him since. Forsen is one of Twitch\u2019s longest-serving personalities. He\u2019s been a staple of the community for almost a decade, making his name playing Hearthstone, and played nearly 700 different games live on the platform. Prior to his ban, he had over 1.4 million followers and had the 59th most-viewed channel. On November 26, Forsen\u2019s channel was suspended from Twitch. On the day it was announced, he stayed quiet. This was Forsen\u2019s third ban of the year; the first coming in May for a controversial rant on Valorant, the second in September for a suspected misunderstanding over a \u2018homophobic slur\u2019. This time, however, it was different. Some speculated it was caused by a classic Twitch DMCA strike, but Forsen would reveal it was for a far more bizarre reason. \u274c Twitch Partner “”forsen”” (@forsen) has been banned! \u274chttps:\/\/t.co\/WBK1dm8L1c#twitch #ban #thirdban #partner #twitchpartner \ud83c\uddfc\ud83c\uddeb \u2014 StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) November 26, 2020 Why was Forsen banned? Forsen was banned for briefly showing a gif displaying a horse alongside a woman in a compromising situation live on his stream. He said: \u201cI\u2019m currently banned for the horse gif. The ban is indefinite which means undetermined ban duration. Unlucky.\u201d I’m currently banned for the horse gif. The ban is indefinite which means undetermined ban duration. Unlucky. \u2014 Sebastian Fors (@Forsen) November 27, 2020 The reason for the indefinite suspension is almost certainly due to it being a third strike of sorts. As Twitch states in their community guidelines, \u201cWe keep a record of past violations, and multiple suspensions over time can lead to an indefinite suspension.\u201d They continue, \u201cFor the most serious offenses, we will immediately and indefinitely suspend your account with no opportunity to appeal.\u201d Twitch faces backlash over Forsen ban Some streamers have come to Forsen\u2019s defense, with Asmongold arguing it was an accident. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s really that big of a deal,\u201d he said. \u201cYou show that for like a second, right? Cause it\u2019s an accident.\u201d Kaceytron was another streamer who showed support for Forsen, slamming Twitch\u2019s decision as \u201cstupid.\u201d She added: \u201cI do not trust these motherf***ers with my livelihood. They never, ever make a good call, ever.\u201d Fans have also highlighted similar instances that have hit other streamers, who escaped without a ban. Pokimane infamously showed sexual material on stream after a viewer\u2019s prank, but did not face a suspension. Read More: Who is Jake Paul fighting next? – She was simply sent a warning, which explained that \u201canother offense may result in a suspension.\u201d How long is Forsen banned from Twitch? Forsen revealed on December 16 that he would be back \u201cafter Christmas.\u201d When exactly is unclear. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and general well wishes in dms and shit. It seems I will be unbanned slightly after christmas. Enjoy your holidays and shit! \u2014 Sebastian Fors (@Forsen) December 16, 2020 So far it\u2019s been his longest ban to date, eclipsing the two-week ban he received for the \u2018Valorant rant\u2019 in May. Read More: xQc furious over \u201cunfair\u201d Among Us award win – Most bans don\u2019t tend to last longer than a week, and even the longest bans don\u2019t tend to last more than 30 days. But, these are for temporary suspensions, which Forsen\u2019s is not. Some big-name streamers, most notably Dr Disrespect, have been handed seemingly permanent bans, with the reasons dubious at best. For example, Dellor only just got his Twitch account back after over a year. Either way, fans will be desperate to see Forsen back playing games as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
