Twitch Permanently Bans Leafy

Twitch has levied a permanent suspension on LeafyIsHere who is known for his conduct of picking on other streamers, according to Esports consultant and journalist Rod “Slasher” Breslau.

According to Kotaku, Leafy was banned permanently from Youtube last month for repeatedly violating the company’s harassment policies after a series of videos about Twitch streamer Imane “Pokimane” Anys which kicked off a campaign on social media around her significant other.

Leafy also had issues with YouTuber Ethan “H3H3”.

Now he is off of Twitch as well.

“The safety of our community is our top priority, and we reserve the right to suspend any account for conduct that violates our rules, or that we determine to be inappropriate, harmful, or puts our community at risk,” Twitch said in an email to Kotaku.

Leafy posted the following on his Twitter page on Friday:

While it can hurt a streamer’s viewership it can really impact revenue if a bad experiences drops you out of a search to find plastic surgeons to connect with a potential patient, which is why plastic surgeon reputation management is incredibly important.
