We apply IP bans in Chat based on users' Moderation actions in certain cases. We don't currently plan to publicize the logic we use because we think it would make it easier for bad actors to bypass the restriction.

Okay I understand wanting to prevent harassment from trolls who come into streams to spam racial and homophobic slurs and that is one good thing that comes with an IP Ban, but banning someone for being mentally disabled just because they say inappropriate things during chat without realizing they are being inappropriate is literal discrimination especially if the streamer and other viewers say something that is worse than whatever the banned person said. Yet they are still around. Now we have the ridiculous thing where banned users cannot watch the livestreams by the streamer that banned them. Its garbage! Twitch is unfair to its users and something needs to change. I've reported the discriminatory Streamer for her behavior but she is still there! Something needs to be done about this or Twitch may have a downfall!
