Twitch never gives a reason for banning a channel, nor how long the ban will last, even if it is for one of their most popular channels such as DrDisrespect.

The SoundCloud Twitch channel ban is reportedly due to showing "sexually suggestive content". This is according to esports industry insider Rod "Slasher" Breslau, who jokingly first mentioned it was due to DCMA. 

my DMCA tweet was a joke I just figured considering SoundCloud's rep it was likely. seems not!

a representative for Twitch tells me SoundCloud was "issued a temporary ban on Twitch for sexually suggestive content and violations of our nudity policy." https://t.co/okC0jRLHZN

As always, you should take information from any insider with a grain of salt until such time as an official reason is given.

Rod Breslau also notes this is a temporary ban, so we can expect the SoundCloud Twitch channel to be back sometime in the future.
