Hyphonix banned from Twitch for the eighth time

Hyphonix banned from Twitch for the eighth time

Variety streamer Hyphonix has recieved a 30 day ban from Twitch. 

The streamer apparently recieved the month long ban for taking his shirt off during a stream, after covering himself in sauce. 

His channel has been under scrutiny since Febuary, after he received a week long ban for flashing a nipple in a livestream.

Nudity irrespective of gender is completely banned on the platform according to Twitch's guidelines

Hyphonix took to Twitter to explain the ban, stating "because I've been banned multiple times in such a short time frame, it became a 30-day ban."

Twitch's strike system resets every few months. Because Hyphonix's previous bans are spread months apart, he won't recieve a harsher punishment. 

Bans that happen within the same month face more serious penalties.

Cohabitual chaos

Twitch is allowing Hyphonix to stream on his YouTube channel during the 30 day ban, but he musn't appear on Twitch at all.

Hyphonix's housemate and fellow Twitch streamer Black has to keep him out of sight of any of his streams or he may face a ban too. 

According to Newsweek, Hyphonix has been temporarily banned from the platform eight times in total.
