Twitch announces new policy for banning streamers to avoid confusion TwitchTwitch is finally enacting a new policy that will help streamers who have been banned from the platform have a better idea of what they were suspended for. Many streamers have been left shocked and confused after experiencing sudden bans, with no idea exactly why their accounts were hit with suspensions. The vague descriptions of bannable offenses Twitch sends in emails alerting streamers of their ban were often met with criticism, as it would often be unclear at what point the alleged offensive conduct occurred. Now, the Amazon-owned platform is finally giving streamers more information regarding bans, letting them know the date and time their infraction took place. \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f As of today, enforcement notifications sent to suspended users will include the name of the content and the date of the violation to ensure they have better clarity about what content is being actioned on. pic.twitter.com\/aAnrdEZoyi \u2014 Twitch Support (@TwitchSupport) August 9, 2021 \u201cAs of today, enforcement notifications sent to suspended users will include the name of the content and the date of the violation to ensure they have better clarity about what content is being actioned on,\u201d Twitch announced on August 9. Streamers react to new ban details While the new details are certainly a welcome addition, many users on the platform accused Twitch of not doing enough and still providing limited info on the infraction itself. \u201cStill haven\u2019t learned or don\u2019t give a sh*t about giving specific details what caused the suspension,\u201d one user roared. Still havent learned or don\u2019t give a shit about giving specific details what caused the suspension.We all know you don\u2019t want us to fight back wrongful suspensions, so you intend to not give details of the suspension to the people being suspended even! Can\u2019t wait for youtube live \u2014 Teenyweeny1 | #1 IRL Viewer in the World (@TeenyWeeny_01) August 9, 2021 \u201cWe all know you don\u2019t want us to fight back wrongful suspensions, so you intend to not give details of the suspension to the people being suspended even!\u201d Others believed that these details should have been implemented a long time ago, and were amazed that it took Twitch this long. this was the bare minimum that should\u2019ve been implemented years ago but nonetheless good for actually finally doing it. now add a review button so people can get another set of eyes on the violation so we know everyone is treated fairly. \u2014 Zastela (@zastelatv) August 9, 2021 \u201cThis was the bare minimum that should\u2019ve been implemented years ago, but nonetheless good for actually finally doing it,\u201d streamer Zastela remarked. In any case, this should help some streamers narrow down the reason for their bans in certain situations, although plenty of users are still calling for further specificity in regards to suspensions, such as timestamps and clips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
