On Twitch, following the rules of behavior is essential to maintaining a positive reputation and preventing account bans. Violations involving banned words can result in temporary or permanent blocking of the channel. Here are a few important things to keep in mind when broadcasting on the platform.
Why Twitch bans
Twitch actively fights against any form of discrimination, violence and hatred. Users of the platform must follow the rules outlined in the user agreement. Prohibited:
- Advocacy of violence, racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination.
- Insults and harassment, especially on a gender, ethnic or racial basis.
- Negative attitudes towards religions or cults, including prohibited words and expressions that may offend viewers.
List of Prohibited Words
Certain words or expressions may result in a block, even if they are not used in an offensive context. Here is a sample list:
- National and racial slurs: “Niger”, “Yid”, “Khohol”, “Hach”.
- Medical and psychiatric terms: “retard”, “autistic”, “down”, “retard”.
- Insults on sexuality: “incel”, “simp”, “virgin”.
- Material expressions: “P...da”, “cunt” (especially in relation to women). It is also important to avoid using words such as “hijab” in a negative context, as well as discussing religion, as this can be taken as an insult.
Foul language
Using foul language when communicating with your audience can lead to blocking, especially if it happens on a regular basis. The platform may not react to single profanity if the channel has an adult content filter, but prolonged or excessive rudeness can still result in sanctions.
How to avoid being blocked
- avoid using banned words: Even if they are not meant to be offensive, their use can lead to complaints from viewers and blocking.
- Be careful with religious and cultural topics: It is best to avoid any discussion or comments that could be perceived as insulting.
- Don't violate copyrights: Using illegal content (music, movies) can lead to blocking.
- Be careful when using scoring: Scoring subscribers and views should be safe, so that you don't get sanctioned. It is better to use trusted services like SmmFast for safe and effective recruitment. Maintaining the right atmosphere on your channel and following Twitch rules will help you avoid bans and ensure stable audience growth.
