WillNeff claims Twitch has \u201cgone nuclear\u201d after controversial second ban Twitter: WillNeffWilliam \u2018WillNeff\u2019 Neff has been banned on Twitch for the second time. He claims it happened \u201cwithout warning\u201d, and he wished the company reached out to him before \u201cgoing nuclear.\u201d WillNeff\u2019s popularity has been skyrocketing in 2021, and it\u2019s still on the up-and-up. However, his squeaky-clean record on Twitch was tainted in May when the company slapped him with a bizarre DMCA ban. Now it\u2019s happened again for different reasons, and although he took it on the chin, he had a lot to say about it. \u274c Twitch Partner “”willneff”” (@TheWillNeff) has been banned! \u274chttps:\/\/t.co\/lUMNpcaZ6X#twitch #ban #secondban #partner #twitchpartner \ud83d\udc31 \u2014 StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) July 17, 2021 \u201cI was [banned] for \u2018aiding account suspension evasion\u2019 most likely because I was chilling with @mrwobblesmusic,\u201d he said. For those who don\u2019t know him, Mr. Wobbles is a YouTuber who covers songs. However, he is banned on Twitch \u2014 which means other streamers cannot interact with him in any form while live on the platform. WillNeff explained that it happened \u201cwithout warning,\u201d and he wished Twitch Support had reached out to him before \u201cgoing nuclear.\u201d Hey just so there is no confusion I was ban for \u201caiding account suspension evasion\u201d most likely because I was chilling with @mrwobblesmusic. When I heard @cyr had been given a warning I muted stream when I spoke with @mrwobblesmusic today but apparently that was not sufficient. \u2014 Will Neff (@TheWillNeff) July 17, 2021 On the bright side, WillNeff believes the ban will \u201ccreate an interesting discussion about [permanent] bans and creating content with creators outside of Twitch and the responsibility of individual creators to self-screen their content without warning.\u201d He also urged fans to not \u201cflame\u201d or \u201ctroll\u201d Twitch staff over the decision. \u201cThey have a ton on their plate, and, for the most part, they do a great job,\u201d he said. \u201cI just hope my ban creates a discord for handing this type of situation better in the future.\u201d I think this case will at least create an interesting discussion about perma bans and creating content with creators out side of twitch and the responsibility of individual creators to self screen their content without warning. \u2014 Will Neff (@TheWillNeff) July 17, 2021 WillNeff\u2019s ban will be lifted on July 19. However, there\u2019s always a chance Twitch could decide to retract it earlier. Mr. Wobbles took responsibility for the ban in a heartfelt apology. But WillNeff told him not to be sorry and said his content is \u201camazing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
