Highlights
- Twitch banned streamer Stableronaldo, with many assuming it was due to a reckless driving clip.
- Stableronaldo later posted a tweet apologizing and mentioning that he loves streaming and his followers.
- Many streamers are often confused about bans, as Twitch doesn't always provide an official statement or reason.
Twitch has once again banned streamer Stableronaldo for inappropriate conduct in one of the clips he posted. Stableronaldo has gathered over 3 million followers since he joined Twitch in 2018. He streams various types of content on the Amazon-owned streaming platform, which often involves answering questions about himself or collaborating with other streamers. Stableronaldo is also a Fortnite player, often streaming his gamplay moments.
Twitch is a platform that has very strict regulations when it comes to the content streamers post. It often does not reveal reasons behind the bans, which sometimes leaves streamers confused. Even though most bans actually have merits, it's not always possible for a company this big to not make mistakes. There has even been an instance where the Twitch CEO was confused about a certain ban. However, the ban on Stableronaldo seems to have a very good justification, based on discussions over the internet.
Shroud Comments on Dr Disrespect Situation
Popular Twitch streamer Shroud provides a very short but rational statement regarding the ongoing controversies involving Dr Disrespect's 2020 ban.
Stableronaldo got banned on Twitch on June 27, the news of which was released by the account StreamerBans on social media, a verified account that posts automated tweets when popular streamers get banned. The popular streaming platform did not release any official statement regarding why the streamer was banned. However, people are pointing towards one of his latest clips that showed Stableronaldo driving his sports car recklessly. At one point, he even loses control of the car momentarily and hits the sidewalk. Fortunately, no one was hurt during this incident, but it's still concerning, and the clip should never have been put on show for the public.
Stable Ronaldo Gets Banned for the Fourth Time
Stableronaldo later posted a tweet apologizing and mentioning that he loves streaming and his followers. His tweet also mentions that he has no idea about how to approach the situation. Twitch can make tackling these incidents easier for streamers by making them aware of the reasons behind their bans. Even the Twitch CEO admitted that there should be a better feedback system regarding bans.
Twitch regularly updates its regulations and policies on what content is permissible and what could get streamers banned. These bans are often very popular topics to discuss, as fans are often not aware of what's happening. In an attempt to resolve that, Twitch recently updated its policy, letting streamers react and talk about banned streamers.
Despite all the regulations, content creators do often get into situations that get them banned. Sometimes these are not intentional but still end up happening on live streams anyway, like Stableronaldo losing control of his car. However, in some instances, these unlawful activities are quite intentional. Dr Disrespect sending inappropriate texts to a minor is a great example of that. So, these Twitch bans are quite necessary to make sure that digital content remains harmless.
