Nadia unbanned after five hours, reveals that she was admonished for doxxing
Nadia took to her Twitter account to declare the real reason behind her ban. She stated that Twitch had confided that she received a two-week ban for exposing personal pieces of information about a donator live on stream.
The clip in question was shared by fans on Twitter for clarity. In the clip, the streamer receives a donation from a viewer on Pay Pal, but that's not where the story ends. The donator also attached a toxic message, taking a dig at her for her alleged use of hacks.
This provoked a reaction from the creator. In retaliation, she went on to reveal the real name of the donator to the rest of his chat. Revealing the personal information of donors without their consent is strictly against the Terms of Service (ToS). Hours later, Twitch decided to ban her for doxxing the individual.
Although the 22-year-old streamer revealed receiving a two-week suspension, her ban was rescinded and she has since been unbanned on Twitch.
Fans remained divided at the news of the ban
As stated earlier, Nadia is among the most controversial streamers in the gaming community. Her infamy ascended due to many people claiming that she takes recourse to illegitimate tools to play Warzone. "Wall hacks" and "aim bots" are among the accusations that she has had to put up with.
Regardless of the swarm of charges against her, Nadia is yet to be proven guilty of using hacks while streaming. News of her ban, however, spurred a lot of reactions:
On the other hand, there were many who expressed their disregard for the donor for being toxic as well. Here are some of the tweets:
Not the first experience with bans
While this was the first time that Nadia had her account temporarily suspended on Twitch, this was certainly not the only occasion where she had to face bans. In October 2022, the streamer was reportedly handed a shadow ban from Activision which prevented her from playing Call of Duty: Warzone.
However, the reason behind her reported shadow ban was not due to the use of hacks. Although the exact reason remains unknown, one plausible reason could be due to streaming from several locations in a short span of time.
Nadia is presently among the fastest-growing streamers on the platform and is one of the largest when it comes to Call of Duty: Warzone. She presently has over 880K followers on Twitch.
