Twitch will ban users for 'severe misconduct' that occurs away from its site
Coming from the perspective of someone that was an admin of a medium-large forum back in the vBulletin heyday of the early 2000s, I’m somewhat amused by people getting angry at moderation decisions.<p>The rules were pretty clear: This is my website. I pay the bills and maintain it. Here are some clear rules that if you break them, you will be punished with a ban/suspension/shadow an/redirect to goatse upon login/etc. at my/the admin team’s discretion.<p>I can also ban you if I don’t like you. Or if I think it’s funny, or really any other reason.<p>I was happy, my mods and admins were happy and the users (aside from some banned grumps) were happy.<p>This is literally how the internet has worked forever. There are users, mods and admins on websites. Twitch is a website.<p>People getting into deep nuanced discussions about moral good and government over/underreach as an outlet for being angry at the mods never changes.<p>Note: I am not affiliated with twitch, nor have I ever been a user.
