  1. See a list of all streamers I have followed in the past with the ability to sort by 'date of last stream', so I can unfollow inactive ones.

    If you are going to put a limit on the number we can follow, we need a way to see them and unfollow any who are no longer producing content.

  2. The streaming functionality in the app was designed for IRL streamers in mind with the added ability to broadcast games from the device itself.
    However, this has a limitation where, if a user was at a physical venue playing arcade games that have been added to IGDB, they would be unable to pick them as the app limits the creator to use IRL based tags.

    I believe it would be beneficial to creators to be able to search the complete game list from within the app in another menu. Currently creators that stream from public arcade venues are confused in…

  3. why is "white" and "straight" not allowed as a stream tag? i feel that there is no issue with these terms and this is twitch actively being discriminatory towards people with these attributes. why also is "i hate men" allowed and "i hate women" not? this is backwards logic when you parade "inclusivity" for all who are not white, straight and male, what did they do to you? can we have a platform that is unbiased when it comes to politics and be inclusive for all and not just everyone who is progressive?

  4. There are several tags that are banned, but which have equivalents that are not. These should be either all removed from, or all added to, the list of banned tags to make them consistent.

    • 'Bisexual' and 'Asexual' are allowed, but 'Heterosexual' and 'Homosexual' are not.

    • Likewise, 'Bi' and 'Ace' are allowed, but 'Hetero' and 'Homo' are not.

    • 'Gay' and 'Lesbian' are allowed, but 'Straight' is not.

    • 'Black', 'Asian', 'Hispanic' etc. are allowed, but 'White' is not.

  6. The removal of the previously pre-set list of tags to choose from was definitely not the way to go.

    Having custom tags is great for a number of reasons such as having a niche/indie stream, but removing the preceding list and the ability to easily choose pre-determined tags only makes things unnecessarily inconvenient for people who were perfectly fine with the tags that were available before.

    Now it adds just that much more time to setting up a stream by having to write every tag in its entirety. It also affects streamers who do things like speedruns because now they…

  7. It would be great if the search tags option had the "old" tags that have been updated for the new system still there and searchable via autocomplete. As it stands, there are no searchable tags by autocomplete (i.e. you have to input any tags manually to search for them). Also, the ability to use wildcards or the ability for the search to be inclusive of letters after what you've searched for would be great. As an odd example, if you searched for the "app" tag, the "apple" tag would also pop up.

  8. I search for chess and the chess category doesn't show up, apparently this is a new feature and not a bug which sound real weird. I made a ticket and got told to post "my idea" here. I assume I'll be compensated for having the great of idea of a working search thanks.

  9. With the new tag system, streamers can have up to 10 tags and can write custom tags, while the old system only allowed for 5 tags picked from a list. This a huge improvement, however this change also brought a lot of downgrades that overall makes the system less useful for streamers and viewers.

    With the old system, a new streamer or viewer can type keywords and Twitch shows suggestions from the list of preset tags. For streamers, this helps them discover what they could do to make their stream stand out and know what viewers may search for. For…

  11. Bring back the translated language tabs for one. The lack of autotranslated language tabs will severely reduce viewers for all international streamers. This cuts off the community, and community is the whole purpose of Twitch. Secondly, bring back the ability to filter search results using multiple tags. Getting rid of this function also severely reduces viewers for less known streamers as people now have to page down through hundreds and hundreds of streamers to manually search for secondary tags, which in turn makes the average viewer less likely to search because it is unnecessarily laborious. Eliminating these two key functions…

  12. Our "RetroAchievements" community is huge and many of us stream the games getting achievements in old one's games. The community programs emulators to have achievements (like finish the game, complete without dying... something like that). But it isn't "Just play retro" its different. Retro games can play casually, speedrunning, longplaying, first impress and other thing... but retroachievements is more than just play the games. If you create an category like that, many players will use the category to show their mastery game progression. I think many RAplayers will start to stream if it be created

  13. Please give us the option to have a space in formatting for custom tags, so they don't all appear as one word. As someone who is visually impaired, this is very difficult to read when multi word tags are not spaced out.

    ie.
    CustomTags vs "Custom Tags"

  14. Either list our subbed channels at top of the "followed channel list" or highlight them. Now they just get buried beneath channels I only rarely watch.

  15. Beat Refle does not have a Twitch category, apparently this is because of the IGDB Erotic tag, however this game is no worse than many other ecchi fanservice games that are already allowed on Twitch.

  16. Add the ability to 'favourite' a channel, with the option to make all subbed channels favourites.

    These favourite channels would appear at the top of your 'followed' list in the sidebar etc - right above the reinstated FRIENDS LIST

  17. Every time I load twitch, I'm hearing music. I've NEVER wanted that. I've never asked for a music stream recommendation. Yet I cannot block it. Allow us to opt out. I don't come to this site for music. I come to look for streams of games/content I've actually chosen to follow.

  18. "River City Ransom" was removed as a category when creating a new stream.

    The closest category that matches this game on Twitch is "Downtown Nekketsu Story", the Japanese version of River City Ransom. Very few people who play River City Ransom in the US, Australian, and European markets would refer to the game as Downtown Nekketsu Story. River City Ransom was heavily localized for its NA release, including the removal of one of the three difficulty settings, core narrative change from rival high schools to street gangs, completely rebalanced item costs and enemy rewards, and a graphical redraw of both…

  19. The new ui in the follow bar that I am seeing today is confusing and annoying. I thought the "pinned" system would make my follow bar more streamlined but it only worsened my experience.

    In collapsed view my followed and live channels are displayed identically to live channels that I don't follow. Live channels that I don't follow should not appear to be followed by me. They should be separated from the ones I follow.

    Currently there are 4 live unpinned followed channels that show on my bar. Under that 9 channels that I don't follow are showing. But there's…

  20. I follow a lot of people who stream gambling content but the moment they start streaming slots etc., they disappear from the followed channels list. I've been following some of these people particularly for their gambling content but I can't even see whether they are live and this simply forces me to visit all channels one by one to see if they are online or not. This unsolicited censorship is completely uncalled-for, I want to watch content creators I like regardless of the content they're streaming.

    Please remove this filter or make it optional. Not every Twitch user is 12…
