At the time, Twitch said it stood by the accuracy of 99% of its suspension decisions. In May (opens in new tab), the streaming site said it was looking into providing more context with the bans it sends out, but hasn't made any further announcements about implementing this policy. Shylily and the many other streamers who make a living on the platform are frustrated with Twitch's lack of communication when it comes to abrupt suspensions. "But I can very well imagine streamers who barely make months end, without any savings to put aside, having a very tough and frustrating time!" she said. She says the break will lose her the hundreds of subscriptions she expected to receive in that period, but that she'll be fine. The three-day ban, while brief compared to some of Twitch's stronger punishments, has left Shylily locked out of her account, unable to view her Twitch Partner contract, and restricted from streaming on YouTube as an alternative (per her contract). "Not knowing what caused the ban makes it very difficult to avoid in the future," she said. She also opened a ticket, and that too was denied. Shylily used Twitch's ban appeal system, but was denied.
TWITCH STRIKE FULL
"IRL streamers are allowed to paint their full nude bodies with nothing but their nipples covered, take showers in string bikinis exposing their entire behinds, rub themselves with body wash and bath bubbles all over their body in a sensual manner with every sub on a 4K viewer count stream as they proceed to chat for hours sitting in a bathtub," she said in her defense. Streamers who make a living on the platform are frustrated with Twitch's lack of communication. "I'm always under the impression that, as long as you don’t make things sensual or straight up sexual without context and just have fun and laugh and enjoy your time, you’ll be fine," she said.
But it's still unclear if the violation was in one of her most recent streams or one of the many others. She told me it could also be a number of things she talked about on the stream, including a joke about pegging or referring to PornHub as "orange YouTube", which she says could make Twitch think she's promoting NSFW content. Shylily said it's possible that it wasn't "blatantly obvious enough that we were at the beach despite the water and sand everywhere" and therefore "the bikini toggle might have been against.
