Dr.Disrespect claims Twitch has not notified him about the reason for his permanent ban

Hmmmm. He says he doesn't know the specifics, which makes me think he knows roughly why he was banned.
Hmmm.
Hmmm.
They offered refunds for subscribers though? Is that just something automatic? I have a hard time believing there's not firewalls for this kind of stuff.
Not that I care about DrDisrespect coming back or not.
Plus his supporters were refunded and emotes deleted from twitch. Doubtful this was this accidental.
Twitch is under a microscope right now. It is entirely possible they are sending a message to all streamers. No one is safe.
would accidental bans result in sub refunds and emotes being removed?
"Innocent until proven guilty" and all, but the current process implies Twitch is done with him 100%, and they must've had justifiable reason for it.
Could be his agent saying "hey apparently the moment you end this stream Twitch is permanently banning you and we're still trying to find out why."
I get we like drama on this forum but not every shocking thing needs to implicate someone of some heinous shit.
Like someone said. It COULD be a buildup of everything and twitch just said "Fuck it, get rid of him"
But even that doesn't make sense.

I dont trawl the twitch sphere but does this mean more are likely to come? Who are the more prominent types that could get the hammer if it comes down.
Yeah, their mo for this kind of stuff(infractions) does not make sense. They always deal with this stuff with kid gloves, why now the sudden turn.
I don't know how big those streamers are but Doc is one of the biggest streamers on the platform, I don't think it's just accumulated infractions. Plus at least one person on your list has a sexual assault (?) allegation against them.
Dude was a cash cow for Twitch. I doubt they'd have axed him without something concrete
The thread title is inaccurate. Those words are so carefully chosen and have clearly been thru a lawyer first. He does not claim he doesn't know why. He only claims Twitch hasn't said why. Sounds like he knows exactly why, but Twitch haven't said those words yet.
Utter nonsense. I come from a family of lawyers. They signed a legally binding contract with him, which means they'd be opening themselves up to some really bad litigation if they breached it. As with almost any contract there's likely a clause in there which specifies the conditions under which Twitch is legally allowed to sever the contract. Those conditions are probably extremely dire.
This is theater.

Holyshit as a fan of Soulbrandt I was wondering recently what happened to DreadedCone. YIKES.
The reason could very well be "you broke TOS and CG" with no further explanation.
Twitch should just say something but not go into specifics, if Dr wants to make people believe that he got banned for nothing, Twitch might as well let people hear the truth from them.
No way he would wait a whole day from saying anything if he actually thought twitch fucked up somehow.

This is a carefully crafted statement where every words are carefully chosen to mean one thing but to allow people to think another, and overall a statement that says nothing about anything and doesn't help in the slightest to parse what happened and is still happening between Twitch and Dr. Disrespect.
Honestly a pretty frustrating update if you ask me.

to be fair, Twitch isnt known for being very clear or even consistent in bans lmao
I can't imagine that would be allowable under the contract he just signed not that long ago. If so, Twitch would owe him a ton of cash. Can't see twitch going this route either because a large portion of the top streamers would be toast if it was retroactively based on previous infractions.
There's no way he doesn't know.
We literally have video footage where he was shook. He knew something was up.

Will be particularly dumb if the reason ends up being insanely egregious and obvious. "They never told me the reason I was being honest!!"
I assume that what he really means is that they won't give him the exact information he wants.
Twitch, if you want to stop looking like bumblefucks when it comes to moderating your platform, just actually get this story out there.
I'm not even going to bat for Dr Disrespect here, he's an asshole... But this lack of transparency is real stupid and still isn't setting a great example of anything as far as Twitch enforcement goes. What the fuck is the hold up.

I think people keep forgetting this is not just a twitch ban as they had an actual formal contract beyond just a TOS.
Not to be pedantic, but are you a lawyer yourself? The phrase "come from a family of lawyers" sounds funny to me because I don't know what that means for you.
in my experience a firm handshake gets you at least entries into giveaways, a web browser, and winamp skins.
this is big
