I'm tired of seeing content creators loss time on your platform. Based on a few people calling in and saying their name is offensive or something childish you ban without out checking it seems. I'm for equality and though I am a white/heterosexual male(who some think can't possibly understand) my best friend is Mexican, my sister is gay, and I don't give a ****. It's time for everyone to grow up including the people that throw these bans out because of one group of people finding fault in something that isn't intended or not there. I know mixer died and nobody cares about Facebook gaming...your competition isn't much(for now), but I turned off your website today and probably won't login until later or tomorrow or not at all. Go ahead and look at how much I use your site while working...kinda an abusive amount. I might want to change this in myself thanks for realization.

So as a black streamer on twitch we have a couple things that we have to fight for a little more then your average white streamer, and that’s being black first and also being on a platform that’s manly white when it comes to viewers and also streamers. So I believe that we need to add more black streamers on the front page of twitch, along with smaller streamers need to also be promote more. I have been on twitch for about 2 years now and i have a opportunity to go by and browse so many streamers and I have hardly came across many black amazing streamers on the front page of our platform, so twitch if you are all about black lives matters when it comes to racially injustice, we as myself would love to see more of that going forward.

this is going to be something in the subject of insuring that the communities are more balance and equal in more ways hopefully we can see it a s a healthy way to prevent any in home issues or possibly psychological harm in any way what so ever caring for the appropriate reasons im hoping for support. ive recently put in a few reports regarding a few profile pictures in our communities. sorry for the run on sentences although

                   WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS SHORT

although some may not see this as a problem i would hope we can see the cons and understand this matter doesn't need cons as an option my reports are in the user is "The username is inappropriate" for lack of better categorization my apologies. names if necessary @WardDiabloFtw @pvrplrainsmiff im asking to be heard in the manner that it will be healthier for communities and their members to refrain from any thing too revealing of stream especially when there are no privacy warning to accept a profiles pictures graphic content and there doesn't need to be.

I suggest an option where the streamer can tick a box (or similar) that states that they are text based/uses captions. Upon doing so an icon will appear on the stream thumbnail above the viewer count in the Browse section, together with an option to search specifically for these streams through filters

Considering the amount of streamers in the Twitch community that are using captions through third party softwares, a way of making that visible when browsing streams would go a long way for the hard of hearing community to find streamers that support them. Currently you can only do this by adding tags, but these do not seem to be used and end up being at the expense of other tag slots - making people less likely to use them. A completely separate option would thus go a long way in making the platform more accessible to those that cannot watch or follow streams due to audio difficulties.

I believe that the Verified Badge is misinterpreted and should definitely be reworked. I am of the opinion that this badge is interpreted as a partner badge. Because currently only partners get this badge, this should be changed in my opinion. In fact users should also qualify for this badge if they are not a partner. So that also the following users are also eligible:

• Users who are Twitch Partners.


• Users who are Twitch Affiliates.


• Users who are Twitch Developers.

I mean: Users who have completed the onboarding, to confirm the identity. Furthermore you could confirm the identity at twitch events to have a two factor process (id check). That it is really this person.

I'm quoting from the Apr 24, 2017 article on Twitch: "We will be developing a policy on which additional users might qualify for this badge in the coming months."

That was several years ago and nothing has changed.

Just like emote only mode, slow mode, or r9k mode, a mode that would allow viewers to spam as hard as they want.

Many streamers I watch (and some for whom I mod for) encourage spam when they get raided or during special moments, but because of Twitch chat restrictions, viewers can only send the same message every 30 seconds. Many viewers feel left out in these moments because they can't really spam, and the streamer usually asks for more, so everyone is frustrated in the end.

What I suggest is something like /spam and /spamoff commands for mods+ to allow viewers to spam the same messages every 5 seconds (since it's Twitch chat restriction for bots), or even for a shorter amount like mods can.

There are people on Twitch, who have a program that allows bot spamming in chats. They buy accounts somewhere in the form of login:oauth:token and connect them to their program.
They used to spam ads to promote themselves, now they do that to create conflicts between streamers or just to mess with streamers.

It is possible to get an Oauth:token through the Twitch API request, using apps verified by Twitch.
If I understood correctly from the developer's words, Twitch can get info about a token that sent the message.

My way of dealing with people that spam is (или я бы сказала What do I suggest to deal with the problem is) to add a form to a channel settings in order to put there the names of users (bots), which can send messages in chat using oauth:token got by a 3rd party app.

I think it'll be the most effective way to deal with spammers because in most cases the accounts used for spamming are stolen ones and users whose accounts were stolen wouldn't be happy to find out they were banned from some channels because someone was spamming from their accounts

Dear Sirs,

I am from Karachi, Pakistan and I am unable to stream properly on twitch as i get high latency on it so please launch Middle east /Pakistani servers for twitch. Due to the unavailability of these servers. I am either directed to Mumbai, Singapore or EU servers on which i get 140ms plus ping if there will be middle east servers. I will be getting around 10 to 40ms ping which would be perfectly fine for low latency streams.

As Pakistan is the 6th most populated country in the world and the increase in gamers/streamers in Pakistan is rapid so it is necessary for you guys to take these feedback seriously if you dont take action against this now then Pakistanis will be forced to stream on other platforms like Mixer, YouTube etc and grow their community there.

Thanks

                                   Dear Twitch Staff!

Your company occupies a leading position in the segment of streaming services and, of course, you are the leaders in this field.
Specialists with whom you will have to work tomorrow need to be formed today. Therefore, it is so important to invest in the younger generation your knowledge and experience, making them Twitch Partners.
Unfortunately, at the moment there is a problem of unnoticed, but worthy of your attention streamers.
To simplify the process of reviewing applications for partnership, an achievement system has been added. But even after completing all of them, working with the platform for 3 years now, maintaining a stable audience, as well as a daily contribution to improving the Twitch Community, the creator is often left without partnership in the program.
In this regard, I ask you to consider again the candidacy of the owner of the channel nijanmanul.
Much obliged, because more than 3 million broadcasters and even more viewers are pinning their hopes on you.

Yours faithfully
