Twitch has revealed that they will make significant adjustments to how strikes and bans work on its streaming platform, responding to streamer and viewer demands for greater transparency regarding ban processes.
Dilemmas of Avoiding Twitch Strikes and Bans
Avoiding strikes and bans on Twitch can be challenging. In theory, this should be straightforward – simply adhere to the rules – yet Twitch has gained a reputation of issuing strikes for reasons streamers do not fully comprehend; being told only that something wrong was committed, making it hard for them to avoid repeating previous errors in future streams.

TwitchCon announced changes to their strike and ban process that are designed to benefit both streamers and viewers alike. When violating chat rules, Twitch will now send users an email as well as notifications through its appeals portal showing an image snippet that violated said content; similarly video streams in violation will receive such notices in future too; violators receiving these clips can help understand why their ban happened and how to avoid repeat offenses in future; users will also have an ability to appeal for strikes from both chat and stream violations! Additionally users will have both avenues available when making complaints of chat or stream violations; appeal strikes can also be appealed on both violations simultaneously by users with accounts being suspended as well.
Tweaks to the Strike System
Twitch has recently undertaken steps to increase transparency while updating how its strike system operates, giving streamers with long histories on its platform, especially those facing minor violations, the ability to remove past strikes from their records if they behave themselves over time – this means accounts may even have been banned over minor offenses in some instances. Going forward, old strikes may be removed if good conduct continues, while more serious offenses still result in suspension.
Twitch recently announced its strike removal system would launch by early 2025. Although details about when and why strikes from chats or streams occur haven’t yet been provided to users, Twitch hopes this update will decrease overall strike count while improving experience overall for streamers.
By making these updates, Twitch hopes to foster an environment more suitable for both streamers and viewers, continuing its positive development over time.
