On May 4, 2023, popular internet personality "JiDion" Adams took to Twitter to reveal that Twitch denied his ban appeal after he was indefinitely suspended for "extreme harassment." For context, the 22-year-old was shrouded in a massive controversy with Imane "Pokimane" in 2022, when he instructed his audience to spam the phrase "L + Ratio" in the Moroccan-Canadian content creator's chat room.
JiDion shared a screenshot of an email he received from the Amazon-owned platform, which stated that he would remain suspended due to a violation of Twitch's community guidelines. An excerpt from the email reads:
"Your account was recently suspended for Extreme Harassment. After reviewing the details of your case, we have decided that your account will remain suspended due to your violation of our Community Guidelines."
