Twitch clarifies 'visual bug' issue amid RaKai's recent suspension

Twitch has clarified that the two-year suspension displayed on Quovonn Rakai Linder’s account was the result of a visual bug rather than the correct disciplinary duration.

The creator, who has experienced multiple bans previously, initially posted an image of his desktop on X on December 3, 2025 showing a message claiming he had been banned for illegal activities, with the suspension listed as lasting 730 days.

The notice also stated that ads would be unavailable to him once the ban ended and that the violation stemmed from a VOD.

Shortly after the news was highlighted on social media, Twitch responded, claiming the matter was an isolated issue and said, “We are aware of a visual bug that caused the suspension length listed in this creator’s appeals portal to be incorrect.” It added that the issue did not affect other streamers and stated, “This isolated issue didn’t impact his email notification, and we’ve confirmed that the email the creator received did not include the correct suspension length. We’ve also clarified this with the creator directly.”

As of now, Rakai has not publicly replied to Twitch’s remarks, though he later streamed on YouTube, drawing thousands of viewers. The platform has not disclosed the accurate duration of the ban or the specific reason behind it.

Rakai had already been in headlines before the suspension for an incident at a Walmart flower section, where he handed a bouquet to a woman before running off with a trolley. He also recently competed with Fortnite star Clix, refusing to pay the agreed $6,500 after losing, saying, “Guess who not getting they money? You, you ugly b***h. F**k you.”

Earlier in the year, he was banned for using his phone while driving during a livestream, violating Twitch’s safety rules regarding vehicles.
