Twitch streamer Doug "Censor" has stated that the Guinness World Records organization refused to recognize his most recent record. For those unaware, on September 8, 2024, Censor attempted to break the world record for the most pull-ups completed in 24 hours. The former Call of Duty pro was successful, having completed 9,200 pull-ups with five hours to spare.
In addition, Censor's world record attempt raised over $8.5k for Project Purple, a charity.
On October 16, 2024, while playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, Censor received an update on his Guinness World Record application. According to the streamer, the organization did not recognize his record attempt because it was not done for "the purposes of personal achievement." He elaborated:
"Wait, I just got word on my application for Guinness. Dude, they just said, 'Your application has not been recognized as that of an individual or for the purposes of personal achievement only. In the meantime, we will refund your priority review fees.'"

Commenting on this decision, the Long Island, New York native remarked:
"They denied my record because I did it for charity? Wait, I'm not even trolling right now! I swear on god. I just got this message from them. It said, 'Because it's not an individual or for the purposes of personal achievement only. If you represent a business agency, charity, or government...' That is why they denied me! They denied me because I did it for charity. I swear on god!"
Censor reveals message from Guinness World Records, explaining why they rejected his record attempt for most pull-ups done in 24 hours
On the same day (October 16, 2024), Censor took to X to reveal the message he received from Guinness World Records regarding his recent record attempt. Here's what the organization wrote:
"Your application has not been recognized as that of an individual or for the purposes of personal achievement only. If you represent a business, agency, charity, or government, or if you wish to make use of GWR's licensed wordmarks, logos, or the services of our adjudicators, or you have applied for a specific record category such as mass-participation or large food/drink, your application must be handled by our Consultancy team who offer a fee-based, account-managed service."
Twitch streamer and professional Chess player Alexandra Botez has commented on the situation, calling it "crazy." She also questioned why a Guinness World Records representative was present during the attempt, only for the organization to later reject the application.
