The streamer’s second account was issued a ban on May 1st. Not long after, the personality uploaded a message to his Twitter account to explain to his followers why he had received the infraction.
“Just a heads up, it appears I’ve been banned on FEDMYSTER2 for 3 days for “sharing content featuring n*dity.” He then revealed it was actually related to Alinity.
“Someone posted Alinity’s n**ple on twitter when I had it open. It was on for less than a second but it is what it is. Going to explore every option,” he tweeted.

Despite Fed’s ban only lasting two hours and 25 min, viewers were confused as to how his account could receive a lengthier ban than Alinity. User ‘n0tAndy’ exclaimed, “Not sure how his suspension can be longer than the person who actually broke TOS lol.”

While the OfflineTV creator is allowed to stream again, this is the perfect example of how complex bans can sometimes become. Even something shown in the background can trigger a suspension.
