Email My Subs Disabled
We are aware that the “Email My Subs” feature allows creators to send content that violates our TOS. To provide the community the tools to help keep them safe, we are temporarily disabling the service while we upgrade it with the safety and moderation features we expect in all creator and viewer touchpoints.
We would like to take this opportunity to hear your ideas around making this feature either safer or more effective! Leave your comments below.

shame this has to happen. I used this to notify those about charity events. but not sure how to improve this without others breaking TOS

Excellent idea! Gives you another opportunity to engage your audience in a different way.

An actual well thought out idea, bravo Tamsin!
Sub emails are a very under utilised resource & many don't know that this is available to them.
With a few tweaks here & there (such as the ones suggested by Tamsin), this could be a powerful tool for streamers to use to better engage with their viewers. -

Sub emails are a great way to reach out to those who continue to support you but may not be able to make it to every stream or watch every VOD.
Sub emails are a very under utilised tool and I believe with a few added features it could really excel a content creators channel.
The two features I would like to see incorporated are scheduling emails (not repeatable) and drafts. For example, I'd like to send a customised monthly email on the 1st of everyone month around the same time. Having drafts would also be a good way to add ideas on the go.
The purpose isn't to spam subs (and if you didn't you'd probably lose subs) but to engage.
p.s. it'd be really nice to have the extendy thing in the corner of this box so I can see everything I've typed at one :)

I had been gifted a sub to a streamer and have been receiving frequent, countless emails promoting a sale on their OnlyFans and Patreon. I would be fine with maybe one or two emails over the course of the month I was gifted the subscription but an email every other day is overkill and should not be happening. I have since unsubscribed from the email replies twice now but still receive them. I believe the amount of emails partners can send to ALL subscribers should be limited and should be filtered to make sure the content they are sending in these emails isn't promoting anything that would be against the TOS that would apply to their on platform use. Also there should be something added, either directly on twitch or in the emails we are sent, for when we want to report someone for something involving the content of the emails.
