The Elden Ring streamer Klein Tsuboi, known as Let Me Solo Her, was banned from the game for 180 days due to something quite innocent and is now making a comeback.
Let Me Solo Her gained fame primarily for assisting others in their fights against one of the game's toughest bosses — Malenia, and later Radahn. He is well-known for his extraordinary ability to defeat bosses under extreme conditions, notably while wearing a pot on his head. This image has left a lasting impression on fans and has become one of the game's memes.
Bans in Elden Ring are quite common. Most often, players are punished for significantly easing the gameplay experience (such as importing game saves, purchasing illegal items, etc.). One can also face a ban for mods that affect the comfort of multiplayer gameplay, and the game has a rather unusual attitude toward humor.
About 6 months ago, my main Elden Ring account got a 180 day penalty for using this fortnite dance mod for a video.
At the end of October I'll be a free man(jar).

Let Me Solo Her committed something deemed terrible by FromSoftware: he installed a mod that adds a Fortnite dance to the gestures list and showcased it during one of his streams. This is what led to his several-month ban from the game.
The usual reason for bans is the fight against cheaters — an effort that the community views as not particularly effective. Players accuse the developers of a selective approach to cheats and of taking playful actions like dancing too seriously. From any angle, a long exile for such an act seems excessive.
On the other hand, Fortnite does not evoke positive associations for everyone, and for many players, the famous dances performed by winners in this battle royale symbolize cringe. Perhaps the developers are attempting to maintain Elden Ring's image as a serious, dark, and heavy game, where there is no room for mischief.
