Asmongold has taken aim at Twitch and its suspension policies, calling for the Amazon-owned platform\u2019s admins to use \u201cway more common sense\u201d when it comes to banning streamers\u2060\u2014big and small\u2060 alike\u2014after one of his profiles was blocked from the site<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>

The top Twitch star believes the platform\u2019s powerbrokers must start applying more context and common sense to suspensions, or risk impacting the site.<\/p>

The biggest issue, Asmongold explains, is Twitch\u2019s approach has led to a total disconnect between the site and its stable of stars. Top names and streaming hopefuls alike are suspended for policies they thought they understood and had followed, impacting their earnings and growth.<\/p>

Even worse, he added, Twitch often fails to stick to its guns.<\/p>

\u201cI got suspended because they think I allowed racism in my chat, then I make a video and it gets popular and they change their mind and were like, \u2018The racism isn\u2019t that bad\u2019,\u201d the disgruntled streamer said during his latest Twitch stream<\/a> on June 15. \u201cSo what is the logic there? What are you trying to say?\u201d<\/p>

To counteract the growing divide, Asmongold wants to see Twitch admins and stars communicate closely together more often and admins to seek explanations prior to bans.<\/p>

When the 32-year-old was barred from the platform<\/a> via a suspension on his secondary account<\/a>, Zackrawrr, he appealed. Asmongold was informed it was due to \u2018racism in his chatroom,<\/a>\u2019 which he believes he has little control over.<\/p>

He believes a simple phone call would have resolved the situation.<\/p>

The Twitch superstar continued: \u201cI think if you had a conversation with anybody at marketing from any of these places, you would tell them occasionally people come into voice chat and yell random stuff. They\u2019d be like, \u2018Yeah, of course, that happens,\u2019 and would understand. Any reasonable person knows this.<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s about common sense. [Twitch] has abandoned sense. [They] are not going to think about things in a logical or sensible way\u2026 [but] just invent their own reality.\u201d<\/p>

Twitch has recently started making efforts to keep streamers in the loop with curated ban notifications via email<\/a>, though it is\u2060\u2014for now\u2060\u2014still post-suspension.<\/p>

The Amazon streaming titan has also added an automated \u201cappeals portal<\/a>\u201d which is designed to give streamers a right of reply. These appeals are tied to ongoing suspensions and can be submitted by any creator through the backend system. Twitch admins will then review the ban and re-assess the block.<\/p>

The MMO star was originally rejected via the appeal system<\/a>. \u201cI wrote 4,000 words to write this appeal, and the appeal was denied,\u201d he said. \u201cThe system said it wasn\u2019t going to unban me and said they were upholding the strike.\u201d<\/p>

He was, however, manually unbanned<\/a> by Twitch just 24 hours later.<\/p>

The top Twitch star believes the platform\u2019s powerbrokers must start applying more context and common sense to suspensions, or risk impacting the site. The biggest issue, Asmongold explains, is Twitch\u2019s approach has led to a total disconnect between the site and its stable of stars. Top names and streaming hopefuls alike are suspended for policies they thought they understood and had followed, impacting their earnings and growth. Even worse, he added, Twitch often fails to stick to its guns. \u201cI got suspended because they think I allowed racism in my chat, then I make a video and it gets popular and they change their mind and were like, \u2018The racism isn\u2019t that bad\u2019,\u201d the disgruntled streamer said during his latest Twitch stream on June 15. \u201cSo what is the logic there? What are you trying to say?\u201d Related: Asmongold claims Twitch could \u2018change the rules\u2019 on gambling To counteract the growing divide, Asmongold wants to see Twitch admins and stars communicate closely together more often and admins to seek explanations prior to bans. When the 32-year-old was barred from the platform via a suspension on his secondary account, Zackrawrr, he appealed. Asmongold was informed it was due to \u2018racism in his chatroom,\u2019 which he believes he has little control over. He believes a simple phone call would have resolved the situation. The Twitch superstar continued: \u201cI think if you had a conversation with anybody at marketing from any of these places, you would tell them occasionally people come into voice chat and yell random stuff. They\u2019d be like, \u2018Yeah, of course, that happens,\u2019 and would understand. Any reasonable person knows this. \u201cIt\u2019s about common sense. [Twitch] has abandoned sense. [They] are not going to think about things in a logical or sensible way\u2026 [but] just invent their own reality.\u201d Twitch has recently started making efforts to keep streamers in the loop with curated ban notifications via email, though it is\u2060\u2014for now\u2060\u2014still post-suspension. The Amazon streaming titan has also added an automated \u201cappeals portal\u201d which is designed to give streamers a right of reply. These appeals are tied to ongoing suspensions and can be submitted by any creator through the backend system. Twitch admins will then review the ban and re-assess the block. The MMO star was originally rejected via the appeal system. \u201cI wrote 4,000 words to write this appeal, and the appeal was denied,\u201d he said. \u201cThe system said it wasn\u2019t going to unban me and said they were upholding the strike.\u201d He was, however, manually unbanned by Twitch just 24 hours later. Asmongold is one of the most popular streamers on the Amazon platform by quite a distance. He boasts nearly 4.1 million followers across two Twitch profiles.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/16003324\/asmongold-calls-for-twitch-to-use-way-more-common-sense-when-it-comes-to-banning-streamers.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615257"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=615257"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":615283,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615257\/revisions\/615283"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/615267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=615257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=615257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=615257"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=615257"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=615257"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=615257"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=615257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
