Unfortunately, even this is not a foolproof method. This is similar to how YouTube operates, which says that if a user gets three strikes within a 90-day period, their account will be banned. However, the policy does not indicate exactly how long this grace period needs to be before strikes are removed from an account. It adds that enough time needs to pass in between strikes in order for the company to ascertain whether the user is engaged in repeat infringements. It also states that streamers that do get Twitch strikes need to understand that they aren't permanent. The paragraph goes on to say that it will consider something an infringement if the company receives a notification of such and does not, in return, get a counter-notification or a retraction of the complaint. The policy states that a user who has "three copyright strikes" against their name will be considered a "repeat infringer" and will have access to Twitch's services terminated.
#Twitch strike update
In an update on their guidelines page, Twitch appears to be changing the way it handles DMCA strikes on its platform. However, it looks as though the website is looking to alter its policy to, hopefully, make it more in-line with YouTube.

Recently, user KaraCorvus had their account banned for a seemingly bizarre reason involving a set of dancing bird emotes.

One of the things about the streaming website Twitch is that, although it's the biggest platform in which gamers, and other content creators, can go live before an audience, it's also fairly notorious for banning users left and right.
