Twitch has updated its enforcement rules so that streamers caught violating its guidelines will be subjected to varying limited-time bans, with even indefinitely suspendees able to reapply for their accounts to be reinstatement after six months.
This means even streamers with multiple infringements merely have to wait for the violations to “drop off [their] account”. Providing you don’t reoffend in a set period, your account will be reset to “good standing”, as though the original violation never happened.
Higher-severity violations – such as ones for hateful conduct – could remain on an account longer, such as a couple of years. But players caught cheating in games whilst streaming via Twitch are now deem “low severity” will only face a 24-hour suspension from the service.
