Person “DrDisrespect” Beahm has been prohibited from Twitch once again.
The banners feed went down Friday afternoon, and quickly afterwards esports expert Rod “Slasher” Breslau pointed out unspecified sources with the news that it is a permanent ban, and not one related to Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown demands.
Beahm acknowledged his restriction on Saturday, posting on Twitter that “Twitch has actually not alerted me on the specific factor behind their decision … Firm handshakes to all for the support during this difficult time.”
A Twitch representative decreased to discuss the restriction to IGN, saying, “As is our process, we take proper action when we have proof that a banner has acted in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. These apply to all banners regardless of status or prominence in the neighborhood.”
Beahm signed an exclusivity deal with Twitch in March. At the time, Breslau reported that it would pay the streamer several millions of dollars.
This is not the very first time Twitch has actually banned Beahm.
In 2015, Beahm was banned for about two weeks after he livestreamed from a restroom at the Electronic Entertainment Expo while other participants were utilizing it.
