Hello folks, I just saw that Mang0’s Twitch channel isn’t working anymore, and I’m getting error notifications when I try to watch his streams. I’ve been a fan of his for some time, and I’m curious if anyone has insights on what might have happened. Did he breach any community rules or terms of service? I looked at his social media pages but didn’t find any clear answers about this issue. Has anyone come across any news about when he might return, or if this ban is for good? I’m quite puzzled because his streams were always enjoyable, and I didn’t see any behavior that would have gone against the rules. Any information would be appreciated, especially if he decides to stream elsewhere or set up a new account.
yea, mang0 is usually back fast. he gets in trouble sometimes but twitch rarely does perma bans for big names like him. could be a minor slip-up on stream. just chill for a bit, he should be around again soon. always feels like it blows over.
I was actually watching when it happened. He got suspended right after some DMCA issues - music was playing in the background during a long stream. Twitch’s been crazy strict about copyright lately and won’t let music violations slide anymore. What sucks is streamers don’t know tracks are flagged until it’s too late. Good news though - copyright suspensions are usually shorter than other bans, typically 24 hours to a week depending on how bad it was. He’s staying quiet on social media, which makes sense since talking about bans can extend them. Check his YouTube - that’s where most streamers post updates when they can’t use Twitch.
From what I’ve heard in gaming communities, Mang0 got a temp suspension, not a permanent ban. Twitch didn’t share the exact details, but it looked like some content from his stream violated their community guidelines. They usually keep this stuff private between the streamer and platform. I’ve followed competitive Smash for years and seen similar cases - popular streamers get brief suspensions for minor stuff all the time. He’ll probably be back streaming in a few weeks once it’s over. You should check his Twitter or other socials to see if he’s posted updates about streaming elsewhere in the meantime.
