Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Twitch apologized after JapImport account got suspended for hateful username.
On October 10, 2023, Twitch streamer JapImport applied for partner status on the platform. With around 5,000 followers, the Slay the Spire streamer and League of Legends coach would be permanently banned just two days later. According to the notification he received, it was for having a hateful username.
In February 2022, Twitch unveiled a new update to their community guidelines that added rules for “inappropriate usernames.”
The new rules affected several popular streamers, including League of Legends streamer Dantes, previously known as Doaenel at the time of the guidelines change.
Twitch streamer JapImport applied for partner on October 10, only to be permanently banned two days later due to his username.
Shortly after the ban took place, the streamer took to Twitter/X to call for help.
“Not Pog… Can someone help me out? I’ve had the username for like 6 years and never had a warning,” he said.
In the screenshot he shared on the post, it shows that Twitch suspended his channel due to having a “Hateful Username or Display Name.”
While it turned out okay for the Twitch streamer, it baffled him that the streaming outlet would manually ban him, deny an appeal, and even apologize in such a short time.
