Figure Drawing Content Classification Warnings and/or Reminders
To artists, drawing the figure isn't seen as sexual content. It's a fundamental practice. It's to study anatomy, form and improve our artistic skills. The current system punishes artists unfairly when they forget to enable the "sexual themes" content classification. Since figure drawing is not inherently sexual, artists sometimes forget to flag their stream. As a result, they face sudden bans, loss of their current stream VOD, unpublished VODs, and disruptions to community engagement.
Instead of stopping artists with a ban, a warning or reminder would be more effective and fair. A simple pop-up or notification can be triggered when certain keywords (e.g. figure drawing, life study, anatomy drawing) are detected in the title or tags.
Another option could be a one-time warning system. If an artist is reported, a warning instead of a ban would get the artist's attention. Also, clearer classifications guidelines that separate educational figure drawing from NSFW content.
Additionally, please consider making a separate content classification for figure drawing.
Summary:
• Prevent unnecessary bans & lost content for artists.
• Allow creators to correct mistakes without harsh consequences.
• Maintain Twitch's commitment to educational and artistic content.

Sketching the figure is such an important part of drawing and shouldn't be considered as inappropriate. Please consider this classification instead of instantly penalizing artists.

Figure drawing is not sexual in any way. It's art study and meant to improve and learn for artists. There is no excuse for not communicating with artists clearly about this and banning with no explanation. Once again, Twitch needs to be more transparent and more honest about this.
