When it comes toTwitch, its platform is mostly known to be engaging for both content creators and the people that love to tune in and watch their favorite streamers. While the door is always open for toxicity,Twitchdoes a relatively good job dealing with those who don’t belong on its site.
Unfortunately, the terms and conditions can sometimes get too literal in the sense that any minor slip-up can lead to a three-day, seven-day, or in some cases, an indefinite ban.The recent wave of high-profile streamers receiving strikeson their account in the form of temporary bans continues to make waves, and user ItsSliker felt the hammer come down.

Known for his usual content of games likeFortnite,Valorant, andGrand Theft Auto 5, ItsSliker is no stranger to the ins and outs of Twitch. He’s built an empire of over 400,000 followers, streaming six of seven days every week, and not only plays games but also talks to his audience during portions under the “Just Chatting” section. On the same day that userFedmyster received a ban from Twitch, ItsSliker was also hit with a three-day ban, albeit for different reasons, leading many of his fans to speculate what it could be ItsSliker is no stranger to risqué content, including having racy conversations with an AI character that was considered too suggestive.
Fortunately, the reason appears to be clear on what occurred, and it’s being chalked up as one big misunderstanding. Unlike other notable names beingbanned from Twitch for reasons unknown, ItsSliker pasted an emote directly into his chat that violated the Twitch terms and conditions, leading to him receiving a three-day ban when he was offline. He took to Twitter to state that he was aware of what happened, swearing it was an accident and that he had pasted it due to a user not being able to see it in chat. Apparently, this was enough for Twitch, as the decision was reversed one day later, giving him full access to his account and the ability to stream.
ItsSliker returned to his usual schedule on April 21, with his stream titled “I’M BACK” and going live for almost seven hours, appearing as energetic as he has always been. Twitch isn’t perfect on a wide scale, but the platform is also aware when an honest mistake is made, and giving the benefit of the doubt doesn’t seem to be out of the question. Not all of its bans are as controversial or questionable, as itwiped out over 15 million raid bots in 2021, clearing out the ever-growing nuisance of spam. As for ItsSliker, he’ll continue to stream on Twitch every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
