We’re happy to announce that we have released an additional update to address these concerns. Streamers can now prevent their banned users from watching their livestreams. You can find and turn on this feature in the Moderation settings section of the Creator Dashboard, through the “Stop banned users from viewing stream” toggle.
Please note, this update 1). does not prevent users from watching livestreams from an incognito window or while logged out and 2). does not prevent users from viewing VODs, clips or highlights. We plan to explore extending the functionality of bans further, including but not limited to preventing VOD and clip playback.
In addition, we’ve made an update so that users that are blocked will now automatically be blocked from watching a streamer’s livestreams.
We will leave this thread open for your other points regarding preventing view of other content types and account creation.

No, there isn't a reason for the person in question to be able to see where they are currently banned from. Outside of one's own stream, private/public lobby, they should carry themselves with a specific deminer at all times. Thus, a ban appeal is never warranted, or should ever be allowed. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...
I agree with this, at least to my loose understanding of it.
A banned users shouldn't ever be allowed to access any form of content from the channel of which they are banned from, nor should a ban ever really be lifted.
The main problem with the current toxicity and maliciousness of the community is that exceptions are being created around proper behavioral standards. For this reason alone trolling has become an acceptable experience, but is roughly the same thing as online bullying.
The current system states to report and then block. Though blocking is seen as the main issue in perspective, as it stops the individual from being able to send messages.
Taking it a step farther, for example, the option that adjust settings to where one can disable the ability to receive messages, has also made this problem escalate.
Report, report, report. Never block. Ban from the experience sure, but let the distasteful messages keep flowing, so support can see to what extent the situation has gotten too, and just keep reporting the issue.
The problem is that this has been swept under the rug for far too long, that it has gotten out of hand, and is becoming a next to incontrollable experience.
Keep one's opinion to one's individual stream, and carry oneself with a respectable demeaner in someone else's.
A ban appeal shouldn't ever be looked forward too, fool me one's shame on you, fool me twice... well?
Though I don't believe in a lost cause, I suggest on asking support to be the mediator when requesting an unban.
