Hi, thanks for flagging this and sharing your suggestion.
We share and understand your concerns about how the intentional, repeated misuse of tags can undermine the purpose of the tags product itself. Tags are an important discoverability feature for communities, and a powerful way for all Creators—but especially those that are underrepresented—to express their personal identity and creative vision for their content.
We also do not feel Twitch should be the judge of Creators’ personal or creative identity, so we typically only enforce against the misuse of tags when it is associated with other behavior that violates our Community Guidelines such as hateful conduct or harassment.
That said, as the VTuber community’s experience demonstrates, there are limitations to this approach and we are actively investigating additional steps we can take to protect and improve the integrity of the tags feature at scale, without infringing on good faith Creators’ personal choice…

I think more than anything, especially in the interest of transparency, Twitch needs to provide specifics when issuing bans. Including timestamps as well as an at least somewhat detailed description of the violating content. No one can improve their adherence to the rules if they don't have an idea of what they did wrong, and vague references to policy guidelines doesn't tell us anything. If you cannot even manage a short description of the problem, you should not be handing out bans so lightly.
