Bring Back the Rerun Symbol
Hi!
There is a tick box on the Twitch Dashboard that says.
"Let viewers know your stream was previously recorded. Failure to label Reruns leads to viewer confusion which damages trust."
This used to place a ReRun symbol next to the stream that was visable on the side bar and the stream in the following list.
I beleive it has been nearly a year since the symbol dissapeared and now shows as LIVE.
It has caused confusion and distrust like your check box says.
I have noticed a significan decrease across my stream and community as people just assume I am never Live.
There are many others who I know tick this box and do not want to be tricking viewers in to thinking we are live.
ReRuns are a huge part of my community and have been running for years.
Removing the symbol just made it more confusing.
Feedback from viewers and streamers is that we would love a clear rerun symbol.
Maybe even a check box in the category to show live only and hide reruns?
I know myself and others playing ReRuns are not trying to out shadow those who are actually live, like I said it works against us if people think we are never live.
Thank you for reading and also thank you for all your votes anyone who votes on this.

Please bring it back! I believe it was very helpful and as made it clearer when it was a rerun going.
