Twitch streamer uses glitch on PUBG and faces the ban

If you use a glitch or bug, that breaks the rules.

It's no secret that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a work-in-progress (it's in early access after all), and that means there can be bugs and glitches. As reported by Kotaku, though, this doesn't mean that you can freely exploit those glitches, as Twitch streamer Destiny found out when he was banned for doing such a thing.

Destiny was using a glitch that meant he could run people over in his jeep while they were in houses. Basically, the houses hadn't loaded in his game, meaning he could not only see where they were but also reduce them to roadkill as well. Unsurprisingly, the message "you have been banned" showed up while he was in the same stream.

Since the game has an active Reddit community, there was obviously heated debate about the matter, but since it goes directly against the rules of conduct which says: "Do not exploit bugs or glitches: If you find a bug or a glitch in the game that provides an unfair advantage, let us know about it instead of using the exploit for your own benefit," we have very little sympathy.

This comes after another Twitch streamer, Dr Disrespect, got banned last month for team killing, so there's obviously no tolerance for breaking the rules. Have you found anyone exploiting glitches yet?
