Twitch To Ban Users For 'Hate' on Other Platforms (bbc.com)
Twitch has updated its guidelines so that abuse taking place on other platforms can contribute to a suspension on the streaming site. From a report: Directing "hate or harassment" towards someone on Twitch using other services will be considered a policy violation. Conduct Twitch deems "hateful" on any platform will result in an "immediate indefinite suspension." Sexual conduct rules have also been changed to consider the "context" of a stream. Moderators will pay attention to clothing, the title of a stream, camera angles and chat moderation when deciding whether something is sexually inappropriate.

Yep. I was wrong. Apparently I can't even read TFH these days.
Nothing else. I was wrong.
We really, really shouldn't shed light on the world of text chat and voip in online gaming.
All you're gonna find is a toxic anti-world where we act in ways we're nothing like in RL and there's a periodic appearance of a squeaker using a surprisingly well-versed foul mouth completely inappropriate for their level of life-experience. I always ask them to put their hot single mom on the headset.
Squeakers, the Easter Eggs of online gaming.
This should cut down on the instances of female gamers with suspiciously low cut tops and suspiciously high camera angles.
Yeah, stop showing those heels off! You'll make yourself unfit to marry!

No one in 2018 uses sexuality for personal gain. That would be exploitation and no modern company would support exploitation of their customers and content creators.
Sometime soon in the near future, everyone will be banned from everything for something they did that one time, that ultimately, no one gives a shit about.
You mean Pence?
You are welcome on my lawn.
Whoops ... an institutionalized double-standard.
This would be less troublesome if Hate had not become synonymous with
Conservative opinion
Religious opinion
Liberal opinion
Biology
Logic
Statistics
Independent thought
The only thing you can say these days that is not considered hate speech is up-to-the-nanosecond left wing (not liberal) PC group-speak.
If a woman is dressing inappropriately that can be called out
No, it can't. Watch out, or you'll be sent to the SJW reeducation camp..
Taking guns away from the 99% gives the 1% 100% of the power.
Welcome to the PC Police folks. Now anything "bad" you say, think, do, display, endorse, allow, don't challenge, or otherwise are in any associated with is reason to hang you out to dry everywhere forever in a fit of righteousness.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain who decides what and when something is bad with very little 'why' involved. Oh crap...I mean person of unknown gender located in a region generally near an item of environmentally friendly, non-GMO, vegan cloth-like covering which may or may not be protecting their privacy or identity as it best suits them.
You can get rich if you own a politician, but you have to be rich to buy one in the first place.
Censorship is terrible. To think otherwise is baffling, what went so wrong to encourage your kind of mind set?

This is known as "taking responsibility for your actions".
Yes if you act like an utter arse in one pub, people who know you're an utter arse aren't going to magically treat you as a new person when you try another pub. The same applies online and I'm honestly surprised to find that people seem to think otherwise.
You have a right to free speech, yu don't have a right to insist that people forget what you said and treat you as if you haven't said it.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
If I act like an utter arse at the pub my employer doesn't sack me.
If I act like an utter arse in the office, my friends still go to the pub with me.
I'm still the same person, I look the same, I use the same name. My behaviour is differentiated by where I am and the context.
If I call you a cunt on Slashdot it's because I feel you've been acting like a cunt and Slashdot (mostly) doesn't censor its users language. Why the fuck should that get me banned from Twitch?
