    Suspensions doesn’t really work well in this context, they’re temp bans - an account being suspended means frozen

    That’s not what happens here. It’s effectively temporarily removed - subscriptions aren’t paused, they’re refunded

    Suspended also might come with implications - maybe something is under review, maybe you haven’t used it for too long and have to reactivate it, maybe you are limited to things you can do with it. It implies action on your part

    Ban means go away. Temp ban means go away for a while. And they want that message - they don’t want people to appeal or their followers on twitch to mass email them

    I think the real problem is bans get lifted, we hear it happen fairly often. So we have perma bans, which means “seriously, you’re banned forever, we’re destructively altered your account”

    So ban is now gaining a conditional implication
