Dr Disrespect's Twitch Ban--No Answers After One Week - GameSpot

High-profile Twitch streamer Herschel "Guy" Beahm IV (better known as Dr Disrespect) has been banned from the livestreaming platform yet again.

Beahm himself said he is unsure of why he was banned.

It's unclear exactly why or how long Dr Disrespect will be banned.

Meanwhile, Monday's temporary suspension of Donald Trump was accompanied by specific reasoning, with Twitch even citing specific violations of its "hateful conduct" policy.

When we reached out to Twitch for comment, we were given the same generic statement already offered to the wider community: "As is our process, we take appropriate action when we have evidence that a streamer has acted in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.

Zach Bussey, who reports on Twitch happenings, indicated there won't be a public statement shared by Twitch regarding the ban, but that he too has heard it is permanent.

I've just been informed that there will be NO public statement made by Twitch - but the corporate communication team is responding to press inquiries.

Official Twitch Statement:

"As is our process, we take appropriate action when we have evidence that a streamer has acted in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service

Another streamer, Shannon Plante (AKA ShannonZKiller), indicated that she's heard the Dr Disrepect ban is a permanent one, adding that the cause is "serious." She offered no further specifics, saying she knows the reason for the ban but that she "cannot say" more

She does state that he is "done, and not just on Twitch." At the time of this writing, his YouTube channel and Twitter account remain online, but Plante deleted her tweet

From my own sources: Doc is indeed done, and not just on Twitch

Dr Disrespect's ban comes not long after Twitch removed several other prominent streamers for alleged sexual abuse and harassment, including IamSp00n, BlessRNG, DreadedCone, and others

Earlier this week, Twitch said it would be issuing permanent suspensions following its investigation into these allegations
