Esfand feels Berry0314's indefinite ban is unfair

During his recent Reddit recap, Esfand addressed the ban on Korean streamer Berry0314. Before giving his thoughts, he clarified to his viewers that he hadn't watched her entire stream.

"I think it's kinda like - I didn't see the whole stream, obviously."

Esfand talked about how he felt the indefinite ban administered by Twitch seemed harsh. An indefinite ban, given for the most serious offenses, suspends the user's account for an indefinite period of time. Esfand mentioned that an appeal for being unbanned after receiving a suspension can still be given.

"But man, it is really hard to look at a ban like that. An indefinite ban, a permanent ban. Not a perma, but indefinite cause you can still get unbanned."

Drawing similarities between Berry0314's actions and those which can widely be found on the Twitch website, Esfand expressed:

"And look at the rest of the website and be like, how is this- what?"

Esfand, while seemingly against the ban, spoke in favor of Twitch's banning policies. He stated that he believed that Twitch mostly administered fair bans. Despite the criticism received from other streamers regarding the platform's inconsistent reprimands, Esfand reiterated his opinion of Twitch bans as being usually fair.

"Cause I do think, more often than not, Twitch actually does do a good job with bans. A lot of people act like Twitch always screws up with bans but I actually think they are usually pretty good. Not always but usually."

His stance on the ban, however, remained firm. Returning to his earlier logic, he yet again pointed out the flagrant displays available throughout Twitch which do not receive reprimands as harsh as the case in point.

"But I feel like, just look at the rest of the website, dude."
