Give Creators Tools to Check Their Stream Scenes for Potential TOS Violations Before Going Live
There is no denying the fact that it takes a lot of work to put an enjoyable streaming experience together. However, in recent times it has come to my attention that many good streamers are getting penalized unwarrantedly by Twitch's automatic and oftentimes unsupervised moderation controls and security algorithms even after these streamers have gone through great pains to conform their stream's content and presentation to be in line with Twitch's TOS.
Therefore, I propose that we should start putting more of these tools and controls into the hands of the streamers themselves. This can be done by giving the streamers' an interface within their dashboard that would allow them to test their setups against Twitch's TOS in real time before they go live.
If the streamer's setup fails to pass this test, then the dashboard can go in and visually flag and list the parts that could cause the streams to get canceled prematurely by the platform's system - such as dress-code violations - and then generate a log file that the streamer can then use as evidence to make an appeal with to Twitch's human staff team with.
This might not be the best solution for the folks who like to go live with their streams as quickly as possible. Even so, for the streamers who have a sliver of a doubt that they could get penalized without just cause, I think that having tools like this one at their disposal would still go a long way towards reassuring them that they will get the support that they will need to succeed whenever they need it the most.
