Bad news for all of you weirdos and exhibitionists out their with Xbox Ones that are planning to give the internet a show once Twitch comes to Microsoft's console. Polygon (by way of VideoGamer), have stated that Xbox One Twitch streamers can face the ban hammer by Xbox One moderators that find inappropriate stream content. This should come as an obvious repercussion to flashing your private parts, but we all could probably do well with a reminder.
Xbox Live program manager Chad Gibson has told Polygon that Xbox One moderators have been preparing for Twitch's inclusion to the service and that they will have the ability to temporarily or permanently ban players. Bans can be done for solely just Twitch usage or the broadcaster's Xbox Live account, based on the severity of the offense.
Twitch's vice president of marketing Matthew DiPietro has also ensured that Twitch's own moderators will seek inappropriate content and deal with offenders. "And we have a close partnership with both Sony and Microsoft regarding moderation processes and teams,” said DiPietro.

I'm sure as soon as Twitch arrives to the Xbox One on March 11 there will be some offenders that will get banned. The internet is a weird place, guys. When Microsoft launched Uno on Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 with Vision Camera support (remember those?), people went wild. That game taught me a lot about anatomy, as some people saw it as a wonderful opportunity not to only play the incredibly compelling game that is Uno, but also with their genitals.
I anxiously await the antics that will talked about in a few weeks: it's going to be interesting.
