I understand a platform is not to be provided for Dr. Disrespect, but I find the fact that a prolific streamer being banned out of the blue is quite an odd move from Twitch and think it could have possible discussion around it. The main point of conversation here is not how much of a POS DrDisrepsect is (I too hope the ban stays) but around what and why this happened, as the implications of this ban have the potential to effect many others.
Speculation is currently up in the air as to what has happened/what is happening regarding the situation. While I am guilty of it on a couple of occasions, I do not believe aimless speculation is something that is helpful to the situation currently and I will do my best and encourage you to refrain from doing any yourself.
What we do know is that he was banned yesterday, both Twitch and himself have been basically radio silent on the matter, Twitch has refunded his subscribers. At one point some sponsors were removing content in relation to him, but seem to be on the fence as to what to do with that content.
Any legitimate updates to the scenario will be threadmarked as soon as possible.
Seeing as it seems to be a right pain in the ass to get Twitch to take action on people who violate TOS, this also seems a bit off.
UPDATE
Possibly in relation to this, but interested to see where it goes still as there is possible precedent being set here.
