Popular Twitch streamer, Feinberg, was punished by the platform with an account suspension after he created an alternate account for himself.
The "Minecraft" speedrunner said that what the experienced was "unfair" on his part.
Twitch Bans Feinberg
Feinberg is the latest Twitch streamer to receive an account suspension.
Feinberg, who currently has over 25,700 followers on Twitch, is the latest streamer to be banned due to a bizarre reason. Over the past years, many streamers have undergone the same treatment. The case for this "Minecraft" player involved an "act of self-depreciation," which led to his "permaban."
On Twitter, the streamer said that he has created a new account named "feinbergsucks," made to make fun of his current username.
On Thursday, June 24, Twitch penalized the young star's main account even though he has no idea if the platform knows that he is the original owner of the alt account.
The Amazon-owned platform pushed through the suspension, leaving Feinberg completely confused after the what happened.
On Wednesday, June 23, Feinberg posted on Twitch that "feinbergsucks," his newly-created account was suspended permanently due to the usage of an "inappropriate name."
"Am I not allowed to poke fun at myself? I can't stream or use Twitch on my main in fear of TOS and I don't believe the suspension is warranted, please help me out," Feinberg said in the post.

Feinberg Wants Further Clarifications About the Twitch Ban
Ginx recently reported that the streamer knew that there was a rule on Twitch streaming involving another account. It is prohibited on the platform. After the suspension of his alternate account, the ban could also affect his primary account.
Feinberg reached out to Twitch to clarify the actions being taken against him. He said that he was "unfairly suspended" because his alt account "feinbergsucks" is used to troll himself. He added that he would delete or change his account name, or break ToS if ever he uses his main account.
At the moment, there is no word that Twitch has commented on the permanent ban issue. The streamer has been waiting for the company to reply. It would likely still take some time before he receives an email reply from the live streaming service operator, Dexerto reported.
We have yet to hear some answers from Twitch so we could know if the real reason behind the suspension is the use of the alternate account.
To date, this is one of the strangest cases linked to the ban of a streamer.
Previous Twitch Bans
In March, another "Minecraft" streamer on Twitch, GeorgeNotFound faced an unforeseen ban on his account because of his username. Twitch imposed a two-day ban on him after detecting another account under "ThisIsGeorgeNotFound."
The streamer believed that it is Twitch's responsibility to look after the welfare of the streamers in the platform. Specifically, he pointed out that it is only an error on the part of the management. Maybe, the classification of the sanction falls in the user's threat category that's why the incident happened.
