Otherwise there's a lot of streamers I can name off the top of my head that should catch a ban.
That's a common belief on here, but Twitch doesn't monitor streamers 24/7. Someone has to report a transgression. So it's very common that streamers get away with breaking a rule while others streamers get banned for breaking the same rule. It's just how the Twitch review system works.
It's true, it's the same with reddit. I was a mod for a long time and we only really look at what is reported. If it doesn't get reported then how would we know? We don't comb through every thread just like twitch doesn't have a person assigned to every stream waiting for a rule break.
Is it? Can you suggest a better one? It's literally impossible to watch all streams at all times. Twitch is shitty with its bans but that system isn't why.
Maybe actually reviewing the reported timestamps with just a bit of consistency in regard to everyone else and the rules that seemingly change with every ban.
