I have had enough of this, and i know for a fact some people have had enough with dealing with kids that ignore your rules, to down right freaking stalking you in game and making you feel uncomfortable, that's what i experienced and it's where i draw the line.

-Age Restriction Toggle: with both the 18+ and 21+ toggles, it will prevent the person under that age of 21 or 18 to NOT watch your stream, it works just like the ban thing to prevent them from watching, but if they are under 18 or under 21 this will put them at a stop. the reason why i put 21 also is because some streamers have 21+ in their title, if we had two of those toggles, it would kick those kids out of adults stream. the good benefit out of this is now streamers can talk normally, or in a lewd way without a kid being in that chat when we know darn well we said that you can't be in here. it would also be a big help to block them from looking at social media too on our about me tab now that i think about it, cause we know some of our twitter post can be spicy, a little too spicy and its not for kids, some are private while some are public. its just an idea though

-User Must Login to watch Toggle: Yes i know that sounds messed up, and we LOVE watching streams while signed out, even i do on my phone during break time, but HEAR ME OUT! With this toggle ON we could stop people from, stream sniping or stalking us IN GAME, because even though we have phone and email verification which is a good thing these guys can still watch us if they are logged out.And YES i mean we could use subs only mode but this feature too could also be a big help in some ways.

now i will explain why i am kind of uptight about this and i guess rant on about it as well, but here i go.

The reason why i am so uptight about this, is cause we all know KIDS DON'T LISTEN, i mean we all were kids and this pattern is pretty much the same but different. Now i see a lot of people that have 18+ in their titles and tags, even i do, some have 21+ and while they do have that, you already know whats gonna happen.

i had already banned a kid for being under the age of 18, then that same kid decided to watch me while signed out, and a few months later when i started to play an mmo i haven't played in ages (nor have i streamed it before on twitch this was my first time streaming it), the next few hours i see this same guy who i already banned, in the game spamming my name in chat,and creeping people out, it ****** me off, and yes he was reported but still is not banned.

I mean we need to do something Twitch, cause this is getting out of control.

Some of the kids that are way underage that do pop up, will plain:

-ignore the rules/button on screen/chat rules

-ignore the streamer when they explain its an 18+ stream, and that they cant be there if they are under that age, and they still watch the streamer.

-make the streamer uncomfortable after being caught and banned(like stalking you in game, bothering you with an alt account)

-Cross boundaries by pretending to be 18+ and engage with the streamer in chat (eventually the streamer catches on, i caught a few and banned them)

And these kids do not care, they know its 18+ and will ignore that right out the window! and you know that button that gives them a warning before entering the stream that its mature and not suited for kids? yeah they ignore it.

And YES i know we can use the Sub only mode but we all know they can just use their parents card to sub, i don't want to force people to pay like that, plus i doubt that would solve it.

Think about it though, we could have the 18+ AND 21+ TOGGLE to finally stop this nonsense, and IF some streamers don't like that option it can remain unchecked and kids can watch their channel instead, cause i am NOT baby sitting them, and i mean Twitch is doing the age verification right? why not put a bonus feature on our settings for us all on twitch to stop these sneaky kids from watching our stream, it'll also put a relief on a lot of 18+, 21 plus streamers, lewd vtubers etc etc.

I RE EDITED THIS BTW. Title and all

but for those who read this thank you for reading this, i tried to make this simple and just explain the best way i could, this is just an idea, i doubt it will get any votes but if it does, thank you <3.
