DEVICE BASED Twitch Bans (not IP based)
The current banning system is hugely flawed due to trolls being able to hide behind a VPN and create hundreds of new accounts, it does literal nothing to protect streamers against a persistent troll.
Instead Twitch needs to have it so that anyone who uses their services agrees to the logging of their Device ID and and bans are logged against that Device and not the IP. This way troll maybe has 2/3 devices he/she can use but certainly not hundreds!

Completely, banning people based off an IP that is definitely being hidden behind a VPN. This should be device based, or at least the option between IP and device.

I 100% agree^ twitch need to actually do something about this as it’s ridiculous how someone so toxic can hide behind a free VPN
