Twitch has recently come under fire for its inconsistent (and at times bizarre) moderation policies. Some of the decisions t♒hey’ve made have been heavily criticized and many streamers are left wondering how they broke the terms of service.
While some bans are arguably deserved, many more streamers are struggling to deal with the impacts of unfair sanctions. Bans or suspensions for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:hate speech, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:controversial actions and participating in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an NSFW pool party are understandable but some recent decisions have left both viewers and streamers wondering what happened. Here are 5 Twitch streamer🐽s who got banned or suspended for seemingly no reason at all.
5. Dellor: Broke A Keyboard
In the past Dellor 🦋has come under fire from Twitch for rule-breaking but he’s work💞ed hard to play by the rules and obey the guidelines. However, recently Twitch appeared to move the goalposts and he was slapped with a permanent ban for breaking his keyboard.

🍌Admittedly he did break his keyboard over his head but this is a stunt he has repeated many times on his channel in the past, without so much as a warning.
Dellor deliberately buys cheap, flimsy keyboards and frequently breaks them when he loses, a long-running joke on his cꦦhannel. So much so that there are compilations across the internet of his OTT and exaggerated rages. This time, however, Twitch apparently felt enough was enough and gave him a permanent ban for "self-harm."
4. Quqco: Dressed As Chun-Li
Artist and cosplay streamer Quqco was banned for wearing her Chun-Li cosplay. While in the past she's been banned for an accidental underwear flash, this ban was much more difficult to figure out as the outfit leaves her fully covered apart fromꦆ her legs, which were barely visible on stream.
She was sus💙pended for 3 days for "sharing or engaging in sexually suggestive content or activities." Taking to Twitter to vent her frustration she said "I don’t twerk. I’m not a dancer nor gamer. I just sit and draw."
Wit☂h no cleavage on show and no accidental underwear exposure to account for the suspension, it's difficult to see why this drew so much ire fꦓrom the moderation team.
3. XQC: Watched SFW Porn
This ban reads more like a vendetta than a ban as former Overwatch pro, XQC, was banned for showing SFW Porn on his 🎀channel. The video is a comical rendition of adult material color🐲ed over with non-explicit drawings.
All the NSFW content is covered up but despite this, the ban was handed down after a viewer c𓂃ombed the footage frame-by-frame and discovered a split🍌 second in which a narrow section of flesh remained visible.
Thankfully his ban wa🍷s quickly lifted but the unfairness of it was highlighted after critics pointed out that other streamers have not faced bans for accidentally sharing far more inappropriate content.
2. Fareera And CinCinBear: Wore Workout Clothes
Back in September Twitch launched a crackdown on what it deemed "lingerie streams" and issued 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a warning to Overwatch streamer Fareeha after sh🃏e wore comfortable w😼orkout clothing on stream.
Despite her outfit being far from "lingerie", her channel was placed under probation for 90 days. This punishment w💫ould soon increase for CinCinBear, who committed a similar "o🍎ffense."
PREVIOUSLY: CinCinBear Banned For Wearing Sports B🌼ra In Latest Twitch Crackdown
Just a week later Cinthya "CinCinBear" Alicea was banned 𝔉for 24 hours for wearing a sports bra on stream. These sanctions come despite the fact that most viewers consider workout clothing, including the crop top style bras, to be regular everyday attire.
1. Gabepeixe: Showing Someone Else's Pink Floyd Poster
This 3-day suspension takes the prize for most ridiculous Twitch sanction we've ever come across. Brazillian streamer Gabriel "Gabepeixe" Baptista was given a 3-day suspension for allowing a🌌 Pink Floyd poster to be visible, through the video of another streamer.
Yes, it doesn't make sense♋ to us either, especially when you consider that the streamer whose video the poster was visible on wasn'💦t banned and the poster itself is of body-painted women, not full original artwork.
The most succinct summary comes from "lxander" who says "this is some Twitch TOS mental-gymnastics... [it's] album art that includes body painting which is from another channel but this guy get banned? wat."
We'd love to offer an explan♒ation for this o𒀰ne but we've got nothing.
