2. Ban the N word

   During the town hall the coo mentioned that Twitch didn't want to assume identity. The N word hard R is is a slur and should not be allowed to be sent through chat under any circumstances. It is hate speech. N word with the a used on stream amongst Black individuals is in no way the same as saying N hard R in chat.

4. ilegal casinos still running and twitch is closing the eyes on their own TOS's..

   I have previously submitted reports on over 20+ Portuguese streamers and Iive streams who are engaging in the use of unregulated, illegal casinos in Portugal. Some even demonstrate how to employ a VPN to circumvent country restrictions. Unfortunately, Twitch seems to be disregarding these reports and continues to permit these streamers to promote and participate in these illicit and fraudulent casino activities. It's disheartening.

   Apparenty the "trick" to not be banned is not saving the VOD or clips....

   Can you guys start applying the TOS's ?..

5. Would like to see "ear licking" removed from the ASMR tag.

   Ear licking is part of the sexual act, and the reason most listeners are listening is, among other things, to masturbate.
   Some people say it's "very good for sleep induction," but if you look at the texts of those who are chatting enthusiastically from the beginning to the end of the stream, you know it's not true (even if it's an "unattended live stream" with just looping audio, lol).
   And if someone's stream is off-camera, there is no way to distinguish between ear-licking and blow-job sounds, and if they show an illustration of ***** enlarged to fill the screen, you can tell that the purpose is to blatantly masturbate the viewer.

   As stated in the guidelines, even if there is no visual image, if the audio is recognizable, it should be considered a prohibited act.
   If there are operators who are not sure how to respond when they receive a report, the prohibited acts should be clearly stated so that they do not make the wrong decision.

6. Bits cannot be directly exchanged for items or services of value

   In "Bits Acceptable Use Policy / Now the Don’ts that constitute violations of this policy:" we can see that it is included in don*ts "graphic design services". I think this is totally wrong. Why I am thinking that? 1st you (Twitch) loosing a large amount of money because of that and there is nothing wrong with offering designer services in exchange for bits. You like it or not, bits are some kind of currency and streamers using it for all kind of things on their live streams. If you really want to push this "Now the Don’ts that constitute violations of this policy:" policy in a wide meaning you will have to ban half of a twitch streamers. In a nut shell bits only can be used to be gifted to streamer without asking anything in return from streamer and I agree with that because that mean "no return back when u make a gift in bits" ,,, but, someone gifted me some amount of bits and because I want to thank him on some way I would make some graphic design for his twitch,,, is that against Bits ToS? You see, there is nothing wrong with that. There is no exchange, there is only good will between us. Of course you can turn that around and say that this was some kind of payment. Well, maybe you dont know but everything is some kind of payment.
   2nd. If you remove "graphic design services" you will get a lot of designers from other platforms which are made for that kind of services. What I am offering on my Twitch channel? Someone who need some graphic design can watch me working on that what he/she need (graphic design). This is excellent! Because he/she can make corrections till I working and whole job will take less time than if I doing it on some other site dedicated to graphic designers and selling their services. You see where I am going and why twitch is way better place to sell graphic designs than other sites on web?
   In short ...
   By removing "graphic design services" you will get a lot more transfers/use of bits, which is probably what you want from users to do. Designers and people who use designers services will not be scared of ban on twitch. You will get a ton of designers from other web pages who will like to offer their services on twitch because on twitch is way way easier to do graphic design stuff for wide variety of customers just because customers can interact with designer in a process of design which is base of good, quick and satisfied customer in a graphic designers world.
   OK, I hope you got it on a right way.

7. Make body shaming an actionable / bannable offense once and for all

   I'm going to say this once, I want ALL body shaming to be bannable offenses. If I don't mention certain types of body shaming, please don't think that means I don't take it seriously or that I think it should not be included. I decided to make this post after finding out that you get emails whenever a report leads to action being taken. That means 95% of the reports I have made against body shaming IN THE LAST 2 YEARS have had no action taken.

   Yesterday I unfollowed yet another streamer who didn't moderate body shaming in their chat and neither did their moderators. I'm going to give 3 examples of the body shaming I see constantly. This isn't a contest. These are just my observations from 2 years of watching Twitch. I'll also give several examples of how these examples bleed into other problematic areas such as transphobia, ableism, and racism.

   1. Fat shaming. Neckbeard and "fat f*" are some of the most popular terms I've heard. Yes neckbeard is a reference to a type of body. Overweightness (if that's a word) and enough facial hair to cover the neck. It's explicitly a body shaming term. Overweight people have to deal with a lot of judgement and hatred that heavily impacts their self esteem and mental health. There are also medications and disorders / diseases that can dramatically impact a person's weight.

   2. Height shaming. Hoooo boy. This is an issue I have faced my whole life that has contributed to my heart being filled with a lot of hate. I'm a 5'2 Dominican male. It is absolutely NOT an exaggeration to say that 80% of the time whenever height is brought up on Twitch, height shaming "jokes" are made by the streamer or chat or both. A lot of these jokes aren't even jokes, they're just flat out degradation.

   On top of that is the 100% social acceptance of this shaming and how often it's used to attack or "own" any users that make problematic comments in chat. Would you believe me if I said it's gotten to the point where my heart starts to race whenever a user makes a comment that the streamer and / or chat finds distateful? A lot of the times body shaming is used to attack these people and it ends up, ONCE AGAIN, hurting people like me.

   How is height shaming not racist? My race is shorter than white and black people on average. Everytime I speak out against height shaming I get flamed to **** and back and / or moderated. HOW IS THIS OK?

   How is height shaming not ablest? There are a PLETHORA of disorders, conditions, and diseases that can cause shorter height. God forbid someone being height shamed is also dealing with suicidal thoughts, hopelessness, and / or depression.

   How is height shaming not transphobic? Trans men are erased almost entirely. Trans men on average are shorter than cis men. They have to deal with a tremendous amount of shaming that can cause them to constantly doubt whether they'll ever be considered "real" men in the eyes of society. Trans teens (especially trans masculine) have an astronomical attempted suicide rate. This is one of the many examples of why I roll my eyes when I hear people on Twitch claim to care about mental health. The default attitude (Although of course this isn't specific to Twitch) to problematic behavior being called out is ridicule, rage, and of course moderation.

   1. ***** size shaming. If it's possible for a form of shaming to be more than 100% socially acceptable, then ***** size shaming would be it. It's utterly disgusting how this evil practice is not only not punishable, but seems to also be in the top 3 most popular attacks against anyone that makes a problematic comment in chat, especially if that comment is sexist. So something men have NO control over which affects *** and love (2 important areas of life and fulfillment) as well as self esteem gets no protection when it comes to abuse.

   This includes highly problematic terms like BDE (Big D Energy) and SDE (Small D Energy). This also includes that horrific chat bot tool or whatever, that tells people what their ***** size is. I have seen this in so many streams and there's almost always some dehumanizing comment after the result if the result is considered small. For example "Your ***** size is 2 inches. RIP". This lovely world routinely dehumanizes men with small penises by telling them to kill themselves, telling them they will never satisfy women (While also dehumanzing them for not being sexually successful of course), repeatedly blaming violent or problematic actions on men with small penises, and of course telling them directly and indirectly that they are not real men.

   How is this not transphobic? Did you know trans men, who have gotten bottom surgery, tend to have smaller penises on average. Dear god I can't imagine how unbelievably difficult it must be for trans men to have any confidence or love their bodies in the face of the near infinite amount of emotional abuse that they face. YES it's emotional abuse.

   There are already a lot of studies that show body shaming contributes to suicidal thoughts. Do you all understand that the shame is so great that there are men who are afraid of mentioning their ***** size in any suicide notes they might leave behind if they commit suicide. The blame for feeling sad or mad is also put on the men. The issue is the emotional abuse and bullying that is so incredibly pervasive and the collosal pushback against anyone who speaks out, especially if that person is a man. That's why so few men speak out. Check out the subreddits that talk about that stuff. Check out trans masculine subreddits as well.

   There's also the fact that this shaming is so powerful that it also affects men with average size penises. There are men who don't get physicals for years because of the shame. There is NO EXCUSE for treating this type of abuse differently other than you just don't want to admit how evil it is. Gaslighting men by saying "Hey pal it doesn't matter XD, just don't think about it no one cares" is just more emotional abuse.

   You don't dehumanize someone 24/7 for something they can't control and then tell them to not think about it. Far too many people do this to justify any rolling of eyes or anger at men who have to deal with it. The truth is people know how evil it is and often times just want to put the blame on the men and / or quickly move on to another topic. This type of shaming absolute crushes self esteem and if you think it doesn't create any anger or hatred you're in denial or just flat out lying.

   Twitch for the love of god please take a stand, preferably a strong one, against ALL body shaming. Make it an actionable / bannable offense. If it already is then fire the people who analyze reports and get a new team. ALL gaslighting with regards to the effects of body shaming need to stop. ALL body shaming needs to stop. You may disagree but I absolutely put body shaming on par with other isms and phobias. The toll to mental health is astronomical.

   I'm going to say this once, I want ALL body shaming to be bannable offenses. If I don't mention certain types of body shaming, please don't think that means I don't take it seriously or that I think it should not be included. I decided to make this post after finding out that you get emails whenever a report leads to action being taken.

8. "Unban Appeal Stream" = Harassment and Bullying Stream

   I see a lot of streamers doing these "Unban Appeal" stream on their channel as "content". While the streamers and viewers may think this is an entertaining for content, it is often very toxic for the community.

   The person got banned for a reason for breaking TOS or either not appropriate for chat, and their chat texts were deleted by moderators. Do we really need to revisit their toxic comments on stream again and display their chat or read it out aloud again? These comments were deleted for a reason right?

   Most of the time, this becomes Harassment and Bullying stream towards the person who got banned. Chat becomes really toxic and starts calling out the person banned. And then you need to further moderate chat even more. This only promotes more trolls and people trying to get banned so they can get 'featured' on unban appeals stream in the future. Streamers only open themselves up to get reported for bullying and harassment (TOS violation).

   I believe streamers should be privately taking care of their own ban appeals not on stream.

   These streams are very unpleasant to watch, toxic and unhealthy for the community as they violate the Harassment, Abuse, Bullying Community Guidelines.

   Twitch should look into this matter and ban these "Unban Appeal Streams".

9. Ban the phrase "white privilege"

   Beside being obviously racist; I find it insulting to assume because one is white they inherently have some sort of privilege that is not available to others. Instead of focusing more on the behavioral aspects of one's own community.

10. How Far will thoughtcrime go on Twitch?

    Words. Language. The way in which we communicate our thoughts and feelings. Twitch seems to want to continue to ban more and more words. When does it stop? What does Twitch look like in 2024? Can anyone say anything without being in fear of being banned? How long do big streamers stay on a platform that curbs their freedom to express themselves? I simply inquire where it stops.

11. Sharing your religious beliefs with other people in games or on Twitch.

    I currently share the Gospel message on twitch through gaming in Fortnite. I've been banned TWICE for "harrasment" If I have concent from the other party to talk about the Bible or my religion, why is it considered "harrassment". Also, how do you plan on addressing the persecution Christians face on your platform, for holding a belief that is contrary to the LGBTQ community.

12. Change the smoking/vaping rules.

    For quite a while now, I have seen too many people smoking/vaping publicly on Twitch.
    I have to keep adding them to the "Not interested section as it's REALLY uncomfortable. I have a friend who smokes, but whenever my friend does, he ALWAYS turns of his camera.
    People who watch those streams could end up smoking/vaping too from following the streamers footsteps. I mean, children at the age of 13 could be watching them and get the wrong ideas. Please change it so it is more balanced and safer.

13. Better TOS Moderation

    While I recognize that there are already guidelines against harmful/illegal uses of substances on camera, I have come across multiple channels whereas this is exactly what was going on. While I do not make it a job to report each channel I come across that does this, I have recently reported one, solely because there was a **** that was purposely laced on camera. The channel points were titled "joints", the stream time was "wake and bake" and she was clearly getting high on stream (that was not even set to "mature", so any minor could easily jump onto this stream and be influenced in a manner that they should not be, at an early age where they're easily influenced.

    While it is not up to the creators to be prime examples to younger crowds, I firmly feel that it is up to Twitch's moderation staff to actively uphold TOS, especially when minors are allowed onto this platform. Creators are also responsible for what they allow on their channels and to be displayed on their cameras, and with that being said, the minimum they could do, is set their channel to mature. If they are incapable of taking responsibility, than should they really be allowed to stream to viewers of all ages?

    I have been on this platform for about a year now, and I have have seen creators banned for simply taking a shot of alcohol for every new sub, yet we have creators who have wheels for viewers to spin that dictates how much they drink, still streaming.
    I think it is time to start moderating this platform a bit better, with the idea that we are streaming to viewers of all ages. Not just 18+.

14. Regulate Affiliate releated Casino Game Streams

    Recently I've noticed that new only casino streamers are coming to Twitch every day and it concerns me:

    My concerns are:

    • They use Twitch.tv PRIMARY as their affiliate marketing channel.
    • They promise bonuses and campaigns for underage people and gambling addicts.
    • These streams provide FALSE impression of casino games.
    • Streamers who have deals with casinos play with unrealistic bonuses that normal people do not get.
    • Some (not all) streamers are even absolute scammers who play with fake accounts.
    • Streamers don´t give viewers realistic image of their affiliate or other casino connections.
    • Streamers don't provide enough information about dangers of gambling or age limitations in casinos. It's profitable for them if underage makes account to casino.

    This all concerns me. I don´t have anything against these people and I have nothing against casino games but recently these streams have gotten out of hand.

    There are too much ONLY affiliate based streams and Casino Staff streams. They give biased impression to viewers of Casino games.

    These streamers play thousands Euros each month with money that is only partly their own or not their own at all.
    They get big wins. It gives false image of casino games to viewers. People get idea that they can win big when their chances are slim or less.

    These streamers have so good affiliate deals that they deposit few hundred to get thousands to play with.
    Some streamers get directly paid from casinos and they use Casinos own money.

    Casino games are gambling. These streamers are NOT gambling in the same way they try to get their viewers to gamble.
    Their deal is so good that they have very slim chance to lose. Even if they lose, they lose less money than they get paid by their affiliate deal or casino.
    That is not gambling, that is marketing and their primary marketing tool is Twitch.TV. They are working to recruit new gamblers.

    Because they are not gambling, they do not provide realistic image of casino games.

    These streamers encourage people to create accounts to online casinos without telling that underage people won't be able to get their moneys or winnings withdrawn. How ever most of their viewers are underage.

    I ask Twitch.TV with all respect to consider some of these steps to issue this problem:

    • Ban all casino gaming
    • Make stream limitations for casino games ( 70% of streamers weekly stream hours should be something else than casino games)
    • Ban casino sponsored streams and affiliate marketing while streaming Casino Games
    • Make Casino streamers to make sure their viewers are 18yo or above.
    • Make Casino game streamers to publish their connection with casinos and their affiliate deals so viewers get realistic impression.
    • Make Casino streamers to provide information of gambling addiction and provide information where to get help.

    My concerns are:

15. Stop the nepotism

    There have been many cases where people have been suspended for blatant rule violations by committing sexual and or vulgar acts, however these ban/suspension durations (if they get banned or suspended at all) seem to be directly related to the large following and income they bring to twitch. it would seem to me and most anyone with access to your site, that it is an unfair practice to simply pick and choose who you decide to allow to break the agreements based off of the monetary value they create. Ive recently started streaming myself, and have had one viewer suspended for simply making a joke that was far less crass than my stream itself, and if the twitch moderators were to review this stream they would see that it was in good fun, my response even reflects how i received the joke in jest. there are cases like "toadphd" where suggested advice is less than safe, but everyone knows its just humor, yet no actions are taken, as they shouldnt be, because it is light hearted viewer interaction. however, "amouranth" and streamers like her all walk right up to the line of your guidelines, spit on them and and cross over them in almost every stream (partial nudity, suggestive sexual behavior, clearly selling her ip for traffic to a more sexual platform), yet every suspension and ban is almost immediately lifted. explain to me how that is equal or fair enforcement. either ban and suspend all of these large streamers with the same magnitude, or simply stop suspending or banning people all together. let the community moderate itself because clearly twitch cant do it with any sense of fairness. Stop the nepotism.

16. Contradictive Community guidelines and Content Classification.

    Contradictive Community guidelines and Content Classification.

    Why is it that Twitch is so concerned about the nudity in games. And yet you have nude and naked streams being allowed and being promoted to the top of the view this.
    
    What is best is that when my kids and their friends go onto the TV and open twitch, suddenly Reccomended for you they habve these Naked women and naked ***** all over the screen.

    Remove the Hot tubs and steamy baths or whatever they have it.
    You cannot report those channels. The minute that you do, it says their is a technical error and you cannot do anything, and its amazinbg you can go onto any other channel or stream and it allows you to report it.
    
    Stream needs to be properly audited, seems you are promoting and supporting this type of activity.

    You are very anti LGBQT and the likes but you Support and Promote *********** and naked streaming.

    Contradictive Community guidelines and Content Classification.

17. Sexual Content Policy Update

    To Whom it May Concern at Twitch and whoever else decides to read this,

    While I am not someone who streams on Twitch, though have considered it, and who rarely finds myself watching streams, I still had been rather excited for the recent, now declared null, update to the TOS/Policy on Sexual Content.

    I am not someone who participates all that often in adult content, but I do believe that it should be able to exist in adult spaces for those who do wish to participate. The internet has become a hostile places for those who wish to see or participate in adult spaces, which in turn makes it harder to create safe adult communities with proper monitoring and safety in mind.

    I do not believe the sudden take back of the content policy change was the right thing to do. If anything I believe the best thing Twitch could have done was instead move in the direction of banning the machine learning(AI) content that was mentioned as a reason behind this rollback because of the whole "not being able to tell because of how lifelike it is."
    If there is an obvious problem area — AI content — then that is what should be focused on, not a blanket ban on content. Especially when you readily admitted that most of the content was in line with the new policy and that any content that wasn't was dealt with accordingly.

    Censorship does not work in the way that most people and companies think it does. The only thing censoring content, especially fictional content, does is tilt in favor of those who wish to use the censoring to get rid of anything they do not like, and honestly starts to feel like we're toeing the edges of certain ideals(fas cist) and that we're trying to reinstate the Hays Code <-- something people should look up to learn about why this isn't the way we should be going.

    While I understand the concerns of some people wanting to keep adult content away from minors, and not wishing to see it themselves, there are a few things that they should keep in mind:

    1. It is not the responsibility of adults who create adult content in adult spaces to cater or to look after kids that appear in those spaces. This is entirely the responsibility of the parents, and to an extent the website, to do and prevent.
       If you are afraid that seeing such things will "corrupt their minds" then that sounds like something you have to deal with in yourself, and is also in your responsibilities as a parent and adult to teach your kids about internet safety and sex education.

    2. Online isn't just for kids and adults shouldn't have to give up their spaces for kids. We're allowed to exist and do adult things and we shouldn't have to worry about kids breaking OUR boundaries to access OUR spaces.

    3. If you don't want to see it then don't watch it. No one is forcing you to watch the things you do not want to see.

    4. In my experience online most anyone that has a "think of the children" mindset usually doesn't actually care about kids and is using the kids as an excuse to attack the actual thing they don't want to see. If this is not the case then all my points still stand. If it is, then you should probably have a think about what it really is that you're against and why. Your disgust is not a measure of morality.

    ---

    Now, onto what I think Twitch should do:

    1. Separate the adult content from spaces where minors can view or access it. This is not the same as removing it completely.

    2. Create a proper block/blacklist/filtering system that allows people to remove content tagged with certain labels and mature ratings from their feed entirely so they do not have to see what they do not want to.

    3. As an addition to point two, be vigilant and dedicated to making sure that people tag/rate their content properly so the tagging and rating systems work properly.

    4. Be transparent about what adult content is allowed on twitch. As in if you say fictional adult content, be sure to make it clear that all fictional characters must be over the age of eighteen, which I am sure was/is already a rule, but better to restate it than not. Also add examples of allowed content.
       This kind of thing can be tricky though as you cannot really discern age of someone off appearance alone. Example being I just turned thirty and people think I am younger than my sister who is four years younger than me. Or that there are many people who are adults but have small chests or small stature.

    5. Actually have a plan and be ready for the influx of content when you make sure changes to your site. As mentioned previously, most of the internet is a hostile place for adult content so when someone gives the ok to such, there will always be those who push the boundaries to see what is and is not allowed — be transparent about what is ok — and as long as you monitor it then everything should be ok. Of course the beginning will be a bit rocky, but things never start out going the exact way we want them to go, and running away does not allow progress to be made.
       Hire more moderators and pay them fairly for their work.

    6. Remove machine learning(AI) ccontent if it is such a problem that one cannot tell if it is real or not.

18. Twerking vs. Nudity

    Why is twerking allowed without a label, despite being potentially seen as sexual, while nudity, a natural act, results in legal consequences?

19. Clarity on the meaning of "Realistically doctored nudity"

    Your "Safety" policy prohibits "realistically doctored nudity" without any explanation or examples of what that even means. I suggest updating the policy to provide clarity on that.
