Twitch allows fans to support their favorite streamers in a myriad of ways, by subscribing, directly donating, or even gifting subscriptions to other viewers, as well as using bits as a means to donate money in smaller amounts. 600However, Shugii was banned after receiving these donations \u2013 a fact she claims was brought about by a donator who\u2019d stolen a credit card. Shugii posted a screenshot of an email sent by Twitch on August 26, which showed that she had been indefinitely banned from the platform for \u201ccommitting purchase fraud,\u201d with her account \u201csuspended at our discretion and without notice.\u201d 500 Shugii called out Twitch in her post on the subject, claiming that she was being punished for the actions of a credit card thief. \u201cI think it\u2019s so crazy how I can be indefinitely suspended from Twitch because a random person decided to target me and gift subs and bits that were probably used with a stolen card,\u201d she wrote. \u201c\u2026.I feel like it should be so easy to prove it wasn\u2019t me, and that I\u2019ve just been targeted by some random stranger who had nothing better to do but to ruin my stream.\u201d person. I feel like it should be so easy to prove it wasnt me and that ive just been targeted by some random stranger who had nothing better to do but to ruin my stream. I’ve spent so many hours building up my community and it was the light of my life. I really need help. :broken_heart: \u2014 Shugii (@ShugiKage) August 27, 2019 While the streamer has yet to make another statement on the matter, her account has since been restored at the time of writing \u2013 likely a relief for both Shugii and her fanbase of over 1,600 followers on the platform. Shugii\u2019s post saw ample backlash against Twitch, who have come under fire in recent months due to a scandal surrounding streamer Alinity Divine, after not receiving a ban from the site despite throwing her cat over her head during a July 18 stream. In spite of the backlash, Shugii\u2019s account has since been restored \u2013 although an exact reason for her ban has yet to be released in light of the alleged credit card fraud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
