Twitch streamers have been plagued with unnecessary bans for a long time. And it frustrates streamers. The flawed guidelines and policies of Twitch are the reason streamers have been receiving bans right & left. And this has become the major reason why many famous streamers have been switching platforms. So in a way, Twitch itself has boosted its rival platform, Kick. Moreover, the famous streamer Asmongold believes that Twitch should only ban streamers if they break the law.

The guidelines on Twitch are so vast that they create numerous loopholes. And navigating through these can be a tricky matter for streamers. Furthermore, the platform places strict rules on violence, sexual content, and hateful conduct, which is well justified. However, it has another community guideline against breaking a specific game’s terms of service. Moreover, streamers have found this particular guideline faulty.

And the recent victim of this ridiculous guideline is a popular World of Warcraft streamer, TinyViolin69. Although what he did on stream was neither any violent content nor any sexual one. It was just a gamer trying to do some tomfoolery IN-GAME. Furthermore, this led to streamers getting banned. Moreover, Asmongold touched upon this matter in his recent Twitch livestream.

In a recent stream, Asmongold reviewed a clip where some World of Warcraft streamers were talking about TinyViolin69 grieving them. And then, the streamer went over to TinyViolin69’s channel and heard the guy say it wasn’t some random grieving but “judgment day.” Furthermore, Asmongold discovered that Twitch had banned the streamer because of this incident. And the reason was due to the platform’s guideline breaking a specific game’s terms of service. Grieving in these games is indeed against the game’s TOS.

Giving his opinion on this incident, the streamer said,

“I don’t think that anybody should get banned for anything unless things are against the law. If Blizzard has a problem with him doing that, they can give him the Tyler treatment.”

He further said, “Ban any account that he’s on and do that, but they don’t. So, like, how is it Twitch’s responsibility to make this decision?” And fans found these questions reasonable. Although going on the legal & illegal routes can be farfetched, Twitch needs to work on amending its current guidelines.

Over the past few months, there have been many major shifts from Twitch to other streaming platforms due to these bans. Furthermore, StreamerBans, a tracking site, has notified that Twitch has banned around 152 streamers over the last 30 days, each for different reasons. So the hour of need for Twitch is to look after their community guidelines in-depth. And the higher-ups need to make sure to flush all the unnecessary rules that don’t favor the streamers.
