Twitch streamer indefinitely banned over cartoon emotes Twitter\/JessicafrndzTwitch streamer \u2018Jessica49\u2019 was left completely bewildered after the site permanently banned her for her emotes and she has no idea which one was responsible. 2022 has been a wild one for Twitch users so far. In addition to Pokimane being suspended over DMCA issues, there have been a number of bans that have made headlines. For one, a streamer was shortly banned for saying he wanted to \u201cdestroy heterosexuals\u201d at Mario Kart. And in another case, a moderator for HeyImBee was banned for a week for making a \u201cyear mom\u201d joke in chat. Now, another streamer had been hit with a permanent ban over her emotes and it\u2019s confusing her and viewers quite a bit. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jessicafrndz\/status\/1481714264553373697 Twitch streamer confused over emote ban Speaking with Dexerto, Jessica49 believes that three of her emotes could be responsible for the ban \u2013 but has no way to know for sure. \u201cI believe the main reason behind the ban was the emotes as stated in the email I received,\u201d she said. \u201cBut during the subathon I was hosting we noticed Twitch staff in the chat.\u201d The email in question from Twitch states that her emote violation was \u201csevere,\u201d but doesn\u2019t say which one of her emotes was the culprit. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jessicafrndz\/status\/1481838765412798465 \u201cI\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s the middle finger one and the simp one. But I am not entirely sure,\u201d she added. \u201cPeople are saying I also could have been banned for this running emote. It\u2019s been really popular in my Twitch chat and Discord which is usually used to express running away it\u2019s usually a gif and could have been the reason I got banned.\u201d It\u2019s rare to see streamers banned permanently over emotes, especially when it was a first offense, so it\u2019s unclear what Twitch\u2019s reasoning was. Indefinite bans mean that Twitch has not set a date for the suspension to end. In any case, Jessica is trying to appeal the decision or at the very least, determine what emote was the problem. Twitch doesn\u2019t comment on individual bans so it will be interesting to see how this incident develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
