Why Was Stable Ronaldo Banned then Unbanned from Twitch?

The Twitch community was buzzing recently about the ban of popular streamer Stable Ronaldo. 

Known for his high-energy Fortnite gameplay, the 21-year-old entertainer has amassed over 3 million followers on the platform. But what led to his surprising suspension?

Was It Really for Inappropriate Acts with a Pet?

The rumors spread that Stable Ronaldo was banned because Twitch thought he had violated their community guidelines by engaging in sexual acts with a dog on stream. 

However, the streamer himself cleared up the misunderstanding in a recent broadcast.

According to Ronaldo, he was only seven minutes into his March 18th livestream when he received the ban notification. 

The reason? Twitch moderators believed he was involved in bestiality after he simulated intimate actions with a stuffed animal on camera.

In his own words from the stream: 

“A lot of you have been wondering why was I banned. I fed a stuffed animal and they thought I was fing my dog.”

An Overturned Ban After Clearing the Confusion

While Stable Ronaldo admitted the ban was originally intended to be much longer, he stated that after discussions with Twitch, the suspension was lifted quickly once they understood it was simply a misinterpretation of his actions with the plush toy.

“The ban was supposed to be way longer. But we managed to get it down. Thank you to Twitch for understanding it was a mistake,” 

            — Ronaldo told his viewers upon his return.

So it appears the streamer’s bizarre behavior was the cause of the temporary ban, not any actual obscene acts with a real animal as rumors suggested.

A History of Pushing Boundaries

This wasn’t Stable Ronaldo’s first Twitch ban either, according to reports. 

The popular but controversial streamer has previously been suspended from the platform on two other occasions. 

With such an aggressive, over-the-top on-stream persona, it seems Ronaldo frequently toes the line of what Twitch deems acceptable content. His simulated acts went too far this time before the confusion was cleared up.

Things You Should Avoid to Get Banned From Twitch

• Saying Banned Words – suggesting strong profanity” slurs for “racial, religious, ethnic, and other identifying groups,
• Infringing on Copyrighted Content or Leaking Confidential Information – A recently banned user for streaming Dragon’s Dogma 2 gameplay before release
• Cyberbullying or Promoting Hate Speech
• Impersonation
• Harming Yourself or Animal on Stream/Obscene Act – the case of Stable Ronaldo
• Showing Prohibited Content

I hope this will help you to better understand the Twitch policy so that novices can avoid getting banned from the platform.
