Around 110 million people speak Farsi worldwide and in Iran alone, there are more than 28 million gamers according to a national survey.

There are many Farsi speaking streamers on the site and I'm sure Twitch knows about the number of people using the website within Iran (even though many use VPNs almost all the time to be able to access many websites next to watching twitch). As many have said before, not having the option for the language of the stream is hurtful for all the viewers of the website. No one uses the "Other" language option to find streams, and the most likely choice is to use English since it's the language they are more likely to understand. This forces streamers to choose the "English" tag in their streams and put "Farsi" in the title so there is a chance for people who speak the language to find the stream. And this is annoying for people who are actually looking for English streams. Everyone loses in this reality.

And that's why we're asking for "Farsi" to be added to the options. Having the website in Farsi is not necessary (although the foundation is already there since Arabic and other right-to-left languages exist on the website), but please do consider adding Farsi. Twitch is a website created for ALL gamers, no matter their nationality, race, ***, gender, orientation or beliefs, and we Farsi speakers would like to be included as well! :D

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.

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.

Add custom level category for an increasing community of players that are streaming custom made games or levels such as TRLE levels (tomb raider level editor/ trle.net). Could also apply to other games with custom maps/mods etc.

There is a steadily increasing audience for these levels and it is detrimental to the streamer to have to set the game as "tomb raider the last revelation" most of the time, purely because this is the engine used, but not actually what is being streamed. People will open the stream for tomb raider 4 but leave when its not actually tomb raider 4.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. :)

Sub points should be accumulated & not get expired along with expired subs as it helps streamers to unlock emote slots quicker. And with more emotes available, potential subscribers would be more enticed to sub or continue their subscription.

Looking at "expired" sub points on our partnered dashboard not only demoralized streamers before the start of each stream, we'd get less interested to help promote subscription to our viewers & would encourage direct donation instead.

My current subpoints which unlocked 24 emotes is now at 366/1,000 because 600+ gifted subs expired this month. I don't see how I could get my next 25th emote slot unlocked if Twitch doesn't allow partnered streamers to keep the subpoints earned fairly & paid for from viewers.

Let us keep our hard-earned subpoints so we can grow Twitch together!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Flow art - prop manipulation such as hooping, poi, contact staff, fiber optic whip, contact juggling (Fushigi), gloving, etc.

There are some flow artists on Twitch already, including partnered streamer Laribug, OutaCtrlSaturn, Mermaid_skillz, Spoopykitt, MateriaLights, bassssfairy and KatHaplee. Currently we have to use tags like hip-hop dance or contemporary dance that don't accurately describe the kind of dancing that we're doing.

Also, a flow art tag could entice more flow art content creators to join the platform, especially those from IG, if Twitch has a tag for it and it is recognized as a valid form of content by the platform. The current flow artists are currently building a Discord channel, and social media accounts dedicated to the Twitch Flow Community. Having a tag would solidify it as a type of content that is offered on the platform.
