EN: I want every change to contract to be sent to the email address associated with the Affiliate / Partner account. For example, when an e-mail or other data has been changed in the contract, information should be sent to the e-mail assigned to the account. Streamers are losing money through data leaks, as I am because someone has changed my email to make a payment and Twitch is not willing to do anything about it or give me my money back.

PL: Chcę, aby każda zmiana w umowie była wysyłana na adres e-mail przypisany do konta Towarzysza/Partnera. Na przykład gdy e-mail lub inne dane zostały zmienione w umowie to powinna zostać wysłana informacja na e-mail przypisany do konta. Streamerzy tracą pieniądze przez wycieki danych, tak jak ja, ponieważ ktoś zmienił mój e-mail w celu dokonania płatności, a Twitch nie chce nic z tym zrobić ani oddać mi pieniędzy.

I use Google Voice for all my mobile needs. I give it out to every service that asks for my mobile number, and then, if they give it out to spammers, I can easily filter them out.

But I can't use my GV number for Twitch - it reports "only mobile phone numbers may be used".

I do not give out the number that goes to my SIM card. It's not necessarily going to be the same number if I switch providers, and literally every text and call I get through it and not GV is spam, because I never give it out.

Since people are starting to use "verified accounts only" on their chats, this has suddenly gone from "that's annoying" to "this is preventing me from participating in communities". And I don't think the streamers are wrong for using the filter, because I've watched what happens if they don't, so I'm not going to try and convince them to change it.

Perhaps GV allows you to get new numbers too easily, and all the other services I've used it with such as [checks notes] Amazon Web Services are inundated with people using fake GV numbers.

But I don't think that's the case, presently.

There are currently very many suggestions related to issues with password rules. The purpose of this suggestion is to supersede those complaints by recommending that Twitch specifically adopt the recommendations in NIST Special Publication 800-63B https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63b.html.

The purpose is to not have any rules that make users jump through hoops without improving security. Specific recommendations include:
* Passwords should be at least 8 characters long and there should be no arbitrary maximum length (at least up to 64 characters)
* There should be no composition rules (e.g., rules like "must include a mix of letters and numbers")
* Ban passwords from previous breaches or that are trivially derived from common or easily guessable words or phrases
* Do not provide password hints
* Do no "knowledge-based" authentication (e.g., "mother's maiden name")
* Do not expire passwords without a reason
* Do not use SMS as a second factor for authentication (but any second factor is better than none)

Selected quotes from appendix A:

"Humans… have only a limited ability to memorize complex, arbitrary secrets… online services have introduced… which require the user to choose passwords constructed using a mix of character types, such as at least one digit, uppercase letter, and symbol. However, analyses of breached password databases reveal that the benefit of such rules is not nearly as significant as initially thought [Policies], although the impact on usability and memorability is severe."

"Password length has been found to be a primary factor in characterizing password strength… Users should be encouraged to make their passwords as lengthy as they want, within reason. Since the size of a hashed password is independent of its length, there is no reason not to permit the use of lengthy passwords (or pass phrases) if the user wishes."

"Research has shown… that users respond in very predictable ways to the requirements imposed by composition rules"
"Users also express frustration when attempts to create complex passwords are rejected by online services. Many services reject passwords with spaces and various special characters. In some cases, the special characters that are not accepted might be an effort to avoid attacks like SQL injection that depend on those characters. But a properly hashed password would not be sent intact to a database in any case, so such precautions are unnecessary. Users should also be able to include space characters to allow the use of phrases."

"it is recommended that passwords chosen by users be compared against a [BANNED PHRASE] of unacceptable passwords. This list should include passwords from previous breach corpuses, dictionary words, and specific words (such as the name of the service itself) that users are likely to choose."

"Length and complexity requirements beyond those recommended here significantly increase the difficulty of memorized secrets and increase user frustration. As a result, users often work around these restrictions in a way that is counterproductive. Furthermore, other mitigations such as [BANNED PHRASE], secure hashed storage, and rate limiting are more effective at preventing modern brute-force attacks. Therefore, no additional complexity requirements are imposed."

Currently Twitch denies streamers who are in some way related to the Cannabis industry from being Partnership as the use of cannabis isn't acceptable for the Partnership programme.
With Cannabis legal in most states and the TOS enforcing that these streamers who are consuming cannabis are in a legal state (where it may be recreational or medicinal) it seems discriminatory to prevent these streamers from being partnered for this sole reason, especially since a lot of larger streamers who smoke have been given partner despite them smoking (I'd assume for the sheer reason that they have a large following)

Honestly think the double standards today are crazy, denying a streamer from becoming partner solely due to their cannabis use despite having partnered hot tub streamers who are smoking weed in a hot tub in a bikini is madness and hope that you will have a review of how you handle this defective system.

In my opinion, smaller streamers who are affiliated with cannabis should not be denied partner for the sole reason of smoking cannabis and instead should be given valid reasons as to why they are refused partner.
