C9 Ziqo Receives Twitch Ban for Violating Terms of Service
Popular streamer C9 Ziqo recently faced consequences for violating the Twitch Terms of Service. Twitch issued a seven-day ban to Ziqo for using a hateful slur during his stream. However, the platform failed to provide any specific clip or example to support their decision, according to Ziqo.
Ziqo Shares Thoughts on Ban and Twitch Response
In response to the ban, Ziqo uploaded a nine-minute video on YouTube expressing his thoughts and addressing how Twitch handled the situation.
Twitch Fails to Provide Specific Explanation
Ziqo reached out to Twitch after receiving the ban to seek clarification and prevent future violations. Unfortunately, Twitch merely reiterated that his behavior violated the hateful conduct policy without specifying the exact moment or wording that led to the ban.
Impacts on Ziqo’s Opportunities
The seven-day ban had further repercussions for Ziqo, as it affected his participation in other events. He was originally scheduled to be a presenter at the Twitch Participation Ceremony but had to withdraw due to the ban.
Consequences of the Ban
As a result of the ban, Ziqo’s Twitch account is now in bad standing. This means he is unable to participate in similar promotions for the next three months and is also ineligible for Twitch bounties. Additionally, the seven-day ban serves as a strike on his Twitch account, potentially causing future problems if Ziqo receives another strike.
Concerns and Uncertainty for the Future
Ziqo expressed his nervousness about returning to streaming, unsure if he needs to constantly take precautions to avoid another ban. He emphasized the difficulty of “working on yourself” without a clear reason for the ban.
