Ismailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş announced on Twitter that he has been banned from Twitch permanently. Yesterday, the player, who said he had been banned and did not know why, complained about the situation. Furthermore, he announced on Twitter that he was permanently banned today with a mixed-up situation with the reproach. Here is the statement of XANTARES about the situation:
I got banned from Twitch permenantly. The reason why I got banned from Twitch is community violation.
Ismailcan “XANTARES” Dörtkardeş
In fact, as we noted in our report yesterday, this is not the first time XANTARES is banned from Twitch. He was banned for seven days for swearing and making threatening statements to a player who had previously sworn at him. This time, he and his followers had a similar expectation. It is unlikely that he received a clothing penalty like Rammus, especially considering that his latest publications do not contain cam. However, we can check out Twitch’s community policies to make predictions on the subject:
- Breaking the Law
- Suspension Evasion
- Self-Destructive Behavior
- Violence and Threats
- Hateful Conduct and Harassment
- Unauthorized Sharing of Private Information
- Impersonation
- Spam, Scams, and Other Malicious Conduct
- Nudity, Pornography, and Other Sexual Content
- Extreme Violence, Gore, and Other Obscene Conduct
- Intellectual Property Rights
- Content Labeling
- Cheating in Online Games
- Closed Alphas/Betas and Pre-Release Games
- Off-Service Conduct
As a matter of fact, even an idea you share outside of Twitch can make you got banned. However, even hottub broadcasters such as Amouranth and Indiefoxx were soon banned. With that in mind, we might think that Twitch officials are using the ban authority to prove that they have authority.
Reputational Damage for Twitch
There was a serious reaction to this situation in a short time. Because after XANTARES tweeted about the indefinite ban, there was a lot of criticism against Twitch. Followers didn’t like the permanent ban on a publication without a camera after unfair bans. Furthermore, some jokingly commented that XANTARESpeek had been punished for being unhealthy. We hope Twitch will realize this misunderstanding as soon as possible and lift this ban, which has not even been detailed.
