    Trainwrecks claims Twitch ‘targeted’ it with ban during its Rust event

    Umito Posted on

    Trainwreck was hosting a Rust event when he was banned from Twitch for 3 days, with the platform claiming he was banned for “spam” and that he was using Twitch to direct users to other sites.

    The event allows users to fight for an extremely rare weapon, an incredibly rare CS2-inspired blue gem AK-47. Hardened AK skin worth over $1 million. The event was scheduled to run from November 8-18 and was themed around its own custom skin.

    However, with Trainwrecks being given a 3-day ban on the platform, that essentially shut things down. Due to the ban, any Twitch streamer who features it in their broadcast will also be banned.

    The email Train received from Twitch claimed he had been banned for “user spam”, with the most relevant clause being redirecting users to another service. It reads:

    “Redirecting users to a live stream or other service via links on your Twitch stream, such as overlays, QR codes, stream titles, and upload notifications,” the post read, which refers to the streamer deleting their broadcast. of Twitch and Kick could be cited as a reason for its ban.

    However, it all depends on Twitch’s interpretation and application of its own rules, and the platform also allows multi-streaming.

    “I know it’s targeted because I know my accounts, it’s not an automated ban”, Train claimed on his Kick stream.

    “This makes me so sick. What are the chances? I was second on the entire platform for about 16 hours straight and today was the day they banned me. I’ve had this title for 2 years,” he said about having his Kick stream in his Twitch title.

    That said, Twitch is known for its inconsistency with its prohibitionsand there are other huge Kick streamers like xQc who also stream between the two platforms.

    After appealing the ban, Twitch has since allowed Trainwreck to return to the platform.
