Twitch bodypainter gets unbanned after criticizing platform Instagram: Forkgirl\/TwitchForkgirl, the bodypainting streamer who received an indefinite ban from Twitch, has called on her fellow broadcasters to \u201ckeep holding Twitch accountable\u201d after she finally had her suspension lifted. On February 18, Forkgirl claimed that she had received a \u201cwrongful\u201d ban from Twitch after being handed an indefinite suspension for showcasing \u201cnudity\u201d on a stream. The bodypainting broadcaster, who has amassed close to 10,000 followers on the platform, compared the look that she had received the suspension for against something similar that was fine. As fans couldn\u2019t quite believe it, she took aim at the platform and mocked their \u201cplease watch us closely and hold us accountable\u201d tweet, by asking them to review the suspension. After a campaign of support from her fans, fellow streamers, and others, Forkgirl revealed on February 21 that her suspension had been reviewed by Twitch and they had decided to overturn the ban. The streamer tweeted out the response she had received from Twitch regarding her appeal, as they stated that bodypainting is allowed on the platform, but she had violated the requirement to fully cover the chest. Twitch claimed that they had recognized that a \u201cgood faith attempt was made to comply\u201d with the rules and, therefore, they had overturned the ban. My Twitch channel has OFFICIALLY been reinstated!!!! \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d Thank you to everyone for all of your support this past week!!! \u2764\ufe0f I can\u2019t even express in words how blown away I was by the kindness you showed me, and it meant the world to me \u2764\ufe0f All the signal boosts, hashtags, 1\/3 pic.twitter.com\/35go8CvOrW \u2014 forkgirl (@ForkgirlCosplay) February 22, 2020 However, despite thanking them for their change of heart and thanking everyone for their backing, Forkgirl noted that streamers have to keep Twitch on their toes. \u201cI really appreciate Twitch making this right, but this wasn\u2019t just about me, and we need to keep holding Twitch accountable,\u201d she tweeted before dropping a follow-up. \u201cWe are STILL asking for clearer guidelines and a proper policy on what is and isn\u2019t okay on your platform, because this could still happen to ANYONE!\u201d We are STILL asking for clearer guidelines and a proper policy on what is and isn’t okay on your platform, because this could still happen to ANYONE! @Twitch @TwitchSupport 3\/3 \u2014 forkgirl (@ForkgirlCosplay) February 22, 2020 Twitch has an extensive list of rules and has, in the past, attempted to clear up any grey areas that might surround categories like Just Chatting and bodypainting. However, it is clear from Forkgirl\u2019s case that they still have some way to go in further clearing those areas up. Whether they do so, though, still remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
