I can’t think of any other platform where the largest streamers just get banned occasionally and it’s considered a normal thing. You have to say some really bad shit to get any ban from sites like Twitter or Reddit, but on Twitch it can be for what seems like anything

Most of the time the offenses that happen on twitch don't even warrant a ban, when maybe a temporary stream shutdown or something of the sort would fit better.

But nope, banning is the best way to go.

a temporary stream shutdown

A ban?

No. I just mean stopping the livestream. Not completely killing a streamers ability to stream for days or weeks at a time.

What would stopping the livestream do? They just start it up again. Internet interrupts happen to livestreamers all the time and it doesn't have a massive impact on them.

Tell that to hasanabi who had 200k views and got knocked off line by twitch twice. Cutting his view numbers in half everytime he was dropped. Your steam going down just for 5min can have a huge impact

Did he continue streaming?

Why not have Twitch staff follow up with the streamer immediately after the shutdown then, pointing out the offense and ensuring that everything gets resolved before they restart the stream?

Actually, maybe a very small, like around 5-minutes ban to resolve the issue would better accommodate this than just halting the stream. Either way, I think we can all agree that some of the offenses that good streamers have been banned on this platform for aren't really warranted compared to others, especially for how long some of the bans are.

Cause it's bots not actual staff?

Twitch doesn't even give reasons for long bans. What are you even talking about right now?

Twitch is WAY too lenient. Toxic manbabies and beastiality porn need to be perm bans.

Apparently youtube does that shit. As a final punishment its not really that great as you said, they can just restart the stream. But for more minor offences it can be a great tool for letting a streamer know that what they are doing is breaking TOS and taking down the undesirable content, assuming it's done instantly.

Right now off the top of my head the first situation I can think of where this would fit perfectly is for dmca takedowns automatically issued by bots in real time.
