Bans + Suspensions

### **1st Ban from YouTube**

On August 21, 2020, the LeafyIsHere YouTube channel was terminated due to "creating content designed to harass, bully or threaten". Keemstar posted the news on Twitter and after 4 hours Leafy woke up, saw the dm's Keem sent him, saw it was true and released a tweet about it asking YouTube why it was deleted as he didn't have any strikes or warnings before the ban and didn't even know why it was deleted. Many people speculated that some people behind the termination were Pokimane and/or H3h3 productions (3 people that where in drama with him at the time) but both parties denied any involvement, Others brought up a leaked email from 2016 that was apparently from YouTube saying that they wanted to get rid of Leafy's channel which back in 2016 everyone agreed was probably fake.

### **2nd Ban from YouTube**

Leafy then looked to his second channel, LeafyIsntHere, an account where he would usually post clips from his main channel videos, mainly the skits featuring his Characters. After the 1st Suspension he uploaded multiple videos, some explaining everything that happened with his channel and others being re-uploads of most of his 2020 videos. On August 23, 2020, the LeafyIsntHere channel was terminated for ban evasion.

### **3rd + 4th Ban from YouTube**

Just after Leafy started streaming on Twitch again one of his mods recommended that they download the Twitch VODS and post them to YouTube and Twitter just in case the Twitch got banned as well. Leafy agreed that it was a good idea and so the Twitter account TheLuckyShow and the YouTube channel LeafyVODS where made. Just before he had got banned on Twitch, the LeafyVODS YouTube account had every single video taken down by YouTube and was later terminated also for ban evasion. Since the YouTube account got deleted all the links that the twitter account posted didn't work so they deleted all the tweets. Leafy then stated in a later Twitch stream that he made another account to replace it but it got taken down before he could post anything or even say it existed.

### **Ban from Twitch**

On September 11, 2020 Leafy was permanently banned on Twitch due to "Engaging in hateful conduct and threats of violence against a person or a group of people", 6 days after getting affiliate. Before his account was deleted he had over 281,000 followers and averaged 10,000 live viewers

### **5th Ban from YouTube**

On December 28, 2020 the Weafy channel was terminated with around 15k subscribers, 5 days after its creation.

### **Other Bans from YouTube After ???**

On one of Leafy's twitch streams he stated that his personal accounts where being deleted as well. This is shown as in his first two 2020 streams he was using an account but it had got deleted causing him to have to make another account seen in streams after which then also got deleted. It is unknown just how many personal accounts have been taken down.

### **2nd Twitter suspension**

On April 16th 2021 the @Leafy twitter account was suspended off of Twitter. The reasoning as to why is still unknown but the two main theories are that Twitter had found out about a twitter account that Leafy used to have called @slayerlmfao, an account that got banned when he was 16, or it was about a tweet back in 2020 were the youtuber TwoMad asked Leafy to say the n-word and Leafy quote tweeted it with the n-word, as even people who are black have got banned from Twitter for saying it. Leafy's account was followed by many big names like Fundy, Keemstar, Dream, JSchlatt, Skeppy, Pegasus, TwoMad, Skeppy, AFourteen, Quackity and more meaning that his ban was very quickly noticed and just mere minutes after, there was already thousands of posts about it (even some on other platforms like Instagram and Reddit.) On the same day the @TheLuckyShow account (the one about twitch) was suspended too.
