Twitch streamer Happy Hob, best known for performing no-hit runs in Dark Souls, receives an extended suspension for his popular channel.

It would seem that Twitch has recently added to its list of banned creators by deciding to suspend Happy Hob, one of the more prolific streamers on the platform. So far the reasoning is unclear, but the streamer known for no-hit Dark Souls challenges will not be able to use the streaming service for some time.

Happy Hob shared the suspension online, though the streamer didn't elaborate as to a reason for the extended, though he did indicate that more information is on the way. Similarly, Twitch has not commented on the reasoning for the suspension at the time of this writing, however, this is not uncommon for even high-profile bans and suspensions.

According to Happy Hob, the suspension will last for fourteen days, and it doesn't seem like the streamer know exactly what led to losing access to the channel in the first place. Some fans have questioned the length of the temporary ban, comparing it to other high profile bans on Twitch. This is especially strange considering that Happy Hob is a first time offender, which has caused some discomfort among fans who believe they might know what caused the recent suspension.

While neither Happy Hob nor Twitch have given an explanation for the suspension at the time of this writing, many fans believe it to be a result of a joke made during a recent stream. It can't be confirmed if this is the reasoning for the recent Twitch ban, but several fans are convinced that someone may have found an offscreen joke may have been reported and deemed offensive by the streaming service. However, this is merely speculation and fans will have to wait to see if Happy Hob chooses to share the reasoning for the suspension when and if Twitch opens communication with the streamer.

Considering the recent trend of Twitch permanently banning some streamers, some fans are also thankful that Happy Hob's suspension is temporary. That being said, much more of the conversation circling from fans is upset that the unidentified reason for the ban has resulted in two full weeks away from streaming, while some other high-profile bans have been seemingly much shorter for excessive breaches of Twitch's terms of use. Since losing access to their channels can have a huge effect on streamers, many fans simply hope that Happy Hob is able to get through the extended suspension, or that Twitch might decide to either explain or limit the ban on further review.
