Twitch Streamer Reckful Gets Banned
Twitch streamer and former World of Warcraft pro Reckful has been banned from Twitch today. Although he hasn’t addressed the suspension yet, his Twitch channel shows that his content is currently unavailable. The exact reason for the ban is unclear, but many believe it is related to a clip of him driving 101 mph on a highway while streaming.
Twitch Partner Reckful Banned
A tweet from StreamerBans confirms that Twitch partner Reckful has been banned. The tweet mentions that this is his first ban, indicating that he has violated Twitch’s guidelines for the first time.
Twitch’s Community Guidelines on Self-Destructive Behavior
Twitch’s Community Guidelines categorize any self-destructive behavior that may endanger life or cause physical harm as a bannable offense. This includes dangerous or distracted driving, suicide threats, intentional physical trauma, illegal drug use, and illegal or dangerous alcohol consumption.
Streaming While Driving: A Risky Move
Reckful is not the first streamer to face a ban for streaming while driving. Norwegian bodybuilder Knut was also banned for streaming with his camera on his lap while driving. This incident occurred just before he was planning to stream his entire trip in the U.S., resulting in missed content opportunities.
Reckful’s Suspension Length
It is currently unknown how long Reckful’s ban will last. However, considering Knut’s one-week suspension, it is likely that Reckful will be back in seven days.
A Talented World of Warcraft Pro
Reckful has achieved numerous accomplishments in Blizzard’s MMO, including earning multiple rank one titles and becoming the first player in the world to reach a 3,000 rating in arena. While he has moved on to other games like Hearthstone and Teamfight Tactics, his contributions to World of Warcraft should not be overlooked.
