Removed bans block gift subscriptions
Some channels use bans as a joke, even if they remove them shortly after. However, this permanently blocks the user from receiving random gift subscriptions, even when they are unbanned. If a user isn't banned at that time, should they really be blocked forever from receiving gifts?

Hoi, we had sery_bot installed and they banned a viewer, I unbanned them, but since they cannot sub nor follow anymore. Is there a solution to solve this.

I'm fine with time outs being used as a channel reward as a joke because the viewer is the one doing that as a joke to either the streamer or another viewer, each knowing it is a joke. But otherwise streamers who use banning, blocking or even time outs as a joke really should be banned from Twitch for two weeks to a month as banning, blocking or time outs are not a joking matter. It is painful to have that happen.
