William Neff, better known as WillNeff, is the latest Twitch streamer to be banned and he's not happy about it; given the circumstances and lack of communication between Twitch and its content creators. According to his Tweet, he was banned for a total duration of three days without any prior warning from Twitch. He says:
"I was banned without any warning and it says the duration is three days. I wish Twitch Support had reached out before going nuclear but that’s the way it goes sometimes."
To make matters worse, it would seem that the cause of the ban was due to the fact that he was streaming with Austin O'Brien, better known as Mr. Wobbles, who had been permanently banned on Twitch years ago.
According to the platform, streaming with Mr. Wobbles was a mistake and fell under the clause of "aiding account suspension evasion," in essence allowing a permanently banned streamer to re-appear on the platform. Some fans stated that this made no sense, as WillNeff was merely interacting with Mr. Wobbles.
Despite everything, Twitch streamer WillNeff states that this will create space for interesting discussions and will hopefully help make rules for creating content with creators outside of Twitch.
While the ban has riled up and irked fans, WillNeff states that he doesn't wish any ill will towards Twitch staff as they have a lot to deal with daily. Although it would seem that everyone accepted the outcome of the situation, Mr. Wobbles hasn't taken it too well.

Twitch streamer WillNeff consoles Mr. Wobbles after he blamed himself
Following the ban. Mr. Wobbles took to Twitter to apologize to WillNeff. A few hours later, he uploaded a YouTube video as well, and spoke about it. He began by saying:
"Hi, I'm making this video because I don't think I want to be on the OTV server anymore. I don't want to get anybody into trouble. I've been in events before and I've been allowed to stream with other people and it's been fine, and I guess this time it's not.
Despite the troubles, WillNeff took to Twitter to ask fans not to attack Mr. Wobbles, and consoled the streamer on his Tweet asking him not to be sorry.
Fans are once more calling out Twitch stating that the rules and regulations make no sense and are being selectively enforced.
