Apparently Twitch Had A ‘Do Not Ban’ List For Some Of Its Top Streamers

Not too way back, a large treasure trove of Twitch knowledge was leaked on-line through which it contained knowledge like the positioning’s supply code, streamer payout numbers, and extra. It seems that after combing by the leaked knowledge, a report from the Washington Post has revealed that apparently Twitch used to exempt a few of its prime streamers from a few of its guidelines.

Now this isn’t a lot that these streamers can do what they like on their streams and never be banned for violating the principles. It’s not a blanket exemption. Instead, it looks like that is principally a listing of streamers which have been flagged in order that within the occasion that complaints are made about them, as an alternative of instantly taking motion, the complaints are despatched to particular moderators for added overview.

According to a former worker, they informed the publication, “The ‘Do not ban’ list was more like a ‘Do not ban this channel for x’ [list]. [It was] basically a way to add a red notification on reports against [a] channel to make the admins working on reports aware that there are some agreements in place or that the channel is allowed to do certain things. Often it was used to allow what we now call IRL streams.”

In a means we are able to’t say we’re shocked. After all if Twitch had been to begin banning its prime streamers for minor infractions, it’d pressure them to depart the platform and be a part of a competitor. Twitch has since confirmed that this checklist is actual, however additionally they said that it’s outdated and is now not in use. The firm now has a Trust and Safety Operations staff that handles all complaints in a bid to be extra constant and standardized almost about moderation for all streamers on its platform.
