1. block

   Please implement the same feature in the "block" of the web version of twitch as in the desktop application. This means, it will block blocked channels from search results such as https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/VALORANT.

2. Age restriction

   There are streamers on twitch, that use their body and sexual references to make money. This is fine, but we have minors donating to these streamers to get their names written on their bodies, to get their names moaned into the mics, and it’s overlooked because these streamers bring in money. I was suspended for saying an F-bomb but these kind of streams are fine? Putting an age restriction into place will allow these streams to be okay, and allow minors to safely navigate twitch. You don’t even need to be logged in to watch these streams. Enforcing your guidelines for once will actually make a difference Twitch, and also save some people from switching to YouTube! Seriously this platform has became a soft P*** site and it’s disgusting.

4. Blocking another user should prevent them from seeing your messages

   If I block another user I would prefer they not see my messages in chat at all due to safety, not just me not seeing their messages, please make this possible, thank you.

5. Adult Content

   Okay so here me out, there are adults in the world, weve been gaming for decades, and sometimes what we play is categorized as adult content, at least by twitch standard.
   Now twitch standard is a little murky, say for example for a while nudity and sex was okay on cyberpunk, but then some did and others didnt get in trouble for displaying sex/breasts in the witcher. Its a constant game of is this okay, the only other choice adult gamers have is to move risque games to another platform that allows this and the two i can think of being unfortunante **** centric sites.

   Remember when you allotted a hotub specific twitch category? Would it not be simple to allow an adult game content channel, and just have the streamer risk his commercial worth or better yet allow those channel streamers to get hooked up with companies thatd like to support that content?

   Im not talking about allowing basic **** games, but allowing us to stream big name games with sexual, even graphic, content like cyberpunk without the constent risk of a ban despite having an 18+warning on our channel?

   And yes i know theres a whole googleplay restrictions but there you follow web comics that allow adult content, by not allowing access to it on the app but straight from your website.

   Just a simple idea thatd allow a bit of freedom

6. Allow users to opt out of seeing gambling channels on the homepage

   Gambling streams such as those hosted by poker channels should be behind an authorisation wall. Gambling addictions are severe and those who struggle with them deserve to be able to enjoy Twitch without being drawn in by these channels.

7. Allow changing collection's miniature

   Nowadays, if a streamer wants to change a collection's miniature, he needs to select a video as the miniature, but he should be able to do it without changing the video's miniature.

8. Non-User support options.

   There needs to be a way for people who don't use twitch to get help and support. Streamers are learning to harass and abuse people OFF twitch so they don't violate TOS. They also just delete VODS if they have been abusive in their streams. I have been getting harassed by "twitch streamers" and there was no way for me to get support from twitch without signing up. Please add a support option for people who are being abused by your creators but who don't use twitch themselves.

9. Recourse for old suspensions and new features

   Since affiliate follow-emotes have come live, I've noticed several streamers are unable to use the new features due to suspensions 3 or 5 or more years old. So much so that some streamers can't even recall being suspended, or the reason for suspension, while maintaining a spotless record since then while consistently streaming for years, maintaining long term subscriptions and teams.

   Despite otherwise fulfilling all the requirements for "Instant Upload Eligibility Requirements", they remain locked out of these new features, taunted by a link reading "find out how to regain access", with no further support, as they already meet said requirements to regain accress, condemning them for a long ago sin. Maybe they were ignorant of how words could hurt someone, or maybe they forgot to shut down their stream after it ended, or maybe the even slept on stream, or violated ToS with an alcohol themed stream. In most cases, these aren't vile offenses, and when the streamer perseveres through their just punishment, we should acknowledge their progress and growth, and we shouldn't inhibit their growth by holding these old offenses over their heads. Are you the same person you were 3, or 5, or 7 years ago?

   In some cases, these features weren't even on any development roadmap when they were suspended, and rules on Twitch have changed, in some cases, significantly, since then.

   I recommend Twitch open a line of communication to these streamers, and not treat them like branded felons like they do now - to allow streamers who have been positive members of the community and who are committed to continuing to grow. Why should they be stopped for something that could be forgiven after such a long time? Having spoken to some of these streamers, their ban appeals are always ignored because they're asking for forgiveness on a very old ban (3 or more years ago). Would it not be in our collective best interest to grant it to them if they have proven themselves?

   Must they make a new account instead? That seems ridiculous and unfair. Some streamers have grown communities over many years, even approaching partner levels of success - but unless they breach that elusive threshold, it appears that Twitch has no care for them and will not lift the penalties incurred by old suspensions. They will only consider so if they make partner.
   If the streamer wants to maintain the community they have already into a successful partner application, they must do so without the support of new tools that other streamers can use, despite the inordinate length of time between the suspension, and now. The way these old suspensions are currently handled, is a slap in the face of some productive and lovely streamers who have otherwise done no harm, and have been condemned to being second class affiliates.

   So I call on Twitch to right this wrong. People grow and are capable of not only change, but to better the world around them, not only from learning from their mistakes, but because they made the mistakes and have learned and respected the boundaries imposed by Twitch, and have been in good standing since their infraction, over a long period.

   Thank you.

10. Hard Tracked Bans with Channel Tags Data

    Some users on twitch unfortunately harass and target minority groups that being members of lgbtqia+ and PoC. If users are repetitively banned in say like 20-30 lgbtqia+ or PoC (tagged as such, like mixed race, african American;etc.) streamers channels, their accounts should be suspended then possibly sitewide banned, if there is a repeat offense post suspension.

    There should data that collates this info and action as a result based of this also.

    Being a streamer who fits into both these categories sometimes it gets a bit much having to ban and then also report these users, half the time i don't bother with the report.

    An auto feature that can track harassment will be great, this will also fast disable burner accounts made to harass people.

    Having a system where people can appeal to twitch also when banned, will fix any issues in this system.

11. turning off host feature and HOST 2FA

    please allow streamers to turn off the host option.
    we can block raids, but we cannot stop channels from hosting us, which is now being exploited and bad actors (some evading bans) are now hosting accounts with a malicious intent.,

    in addition to this
    i would also like to have the option to ONLY ENABLE HOSTS/ AND RAIDS FROM USERS WHO HAVE PHONE NUMBERS VERIFICATION added to their accounts

    For at least the meantime while the follow hate bots are a thing... Make creating new accounts have a mandatory cooldown before they can follow an option since many of the accounts that do the hate follow to get around current protections are created same day.

13. On the crazy feature of blocking

    The “block” function is the greatest exercise of power in chatting on twitch. This feature has the function of eliminating spam bots, political propaganda, and other obviously harmful entities that make comments knowing that they will be blocked.
    However, I think there is another side to this feature. This is the “monster-making machine” aspect. First of all, except for comments that are intentionally blocked as mentioned above, the first thing a blocked person does is to create a sub-account. I’ll skip the discussion of whether this in itself is a good thing or a bad thing, as that is not the purpose of the message I want to convey. First of all, we can see here that the “block” function does not work at all. The detailed mechanism will be explained later, but at this point, the user feels as if he or she has been attacked in some way. At this point, users can either say, “I did something wrong, so this block is reasonable to some extent,” and start chatting normally again, or they can say, "This block is unfair, and I’ll stick to this distributor and attack him. In the case of the former, the person will chat again without worrying about the block and with some degree of remorse. In the case of the latter, the person will continue to sticky and attack the distributor until he or she is satisfied.
    But there’s more to it than that. One day, the former person’s account will suddenly stop, and a notice will be sent to his email address, stating that his account has been suspended for "repeatedly circumventing chat bans. The user who felt attacked for free will now get a follow-up from the management. Twitch uses every conceivable kind of bot to prevent people from “repeatedly evading chat bans”. They can even identify a sub-account just by changing the email address link. The reason for this, I assume, is to prevent the creation of sub-accounts for “people who are obviously harmful and know they will be blocked,” as mentioned above, but the effect extends to people who have been blocked for mere comments.
    In this way, Twitch has built a system to chase down people who have been blocked over and over again. By chasing after people who have been chatting with some degree of remorse, they have succeeded in creating the “this block is unfair, and I’m going to stick to this distributor and attack them” monster mentioned above.
    Now, let me explain why people feel attacked by this block function. First of all, people other than the “obviously harmful and knowingly blocked” people mentioned above are not intentionally misbehaving, for example, if they are tempted to put up ASCII art in the chat room and play a prank, or if they are hungry or have a fight with their girlfriend and are in a bad mood. For example, if you’re in a bad mood because you’re hungry or you’ve had a fight with your girlfriend, you might react to an attack that you would normally overlook and end up fighting in chat. Of course, this is not the only case where people violate the community guidelines, but there are many other cases where people violate the community guidelines not intentionally, but because they have to. This may seem intentional from an objective point of view, but the people themselves act in such a way because they have to. And even though the probability of this happening is low in twitch, which is watched by tens of millions of people, there is a certain number of people who act this way because the denominator is large. There is no malicious intent on their part. However, the twitch system does not consider whether there was malice or not. If you are blocked, you can’t even see the comments. In other words, it means that you are banned from the community. Users enjoy not only the delivery of the distributor, but also the sense of community unity and chatting with the community. It means a permanent and almost irreversible ban from all of that. (There is a recently added feature that allows you to request to be removed, but it’s so limited that very few people actually do it.) No matter how sorry the user is, no matter how much he regrets his actions, the result will be the same. No matter how sorry the user is, no matter how much he regrets his actions, the result will be the same: he will be locked in the same blocking cage as the spambots and political propaganda accounts, with little to no chance of getting out. Blocking deprives you of the greatest enjoyment of streaming with the community. When someone who has been watching for months or years is blocked, the sense of loss is immeasurable. You have to admit that the loss is your fault. I think it’s not hard to imagine that there are few people who would continue to watch a feed where they can’t comment or chat. There is such a heavy meaning to not even showing comments. Now that you’ve seen this, I’m sure you understand why you might feel attacked.
    Also, psychologically speaking, if you ask people to choose option A and option B, 80% of them will choose A, while the remaining 20% will choose B. This has been proven in various experiments. This has been proven in various experiments. In other words, even if you tell people to follow the community guidelines, 20% of them will not do so without any ill will. Banning them permanently from the community without any extenuating circumstances is too extreme in some respects. In addition, there are almost no people who read the community guidelines thoroughly before commenting, and the rule of twitch is "follow common sense. However, common sense varies greatly by region and backbone. In other words, common sense differs greatly from person to person. Even in the case of failures due to these cultural differences, Twitch’s answer is
    The response to even a failure due to such cultural differences is permanent banishment from the community with no room for extenuating circumstances, which also feels extreme. These make users who are not “obviously harmful and commenting knowing they will be blocked” feel attacked.
    Here I would like to suggest some alternatives to blocking. First of all, while keeping the name “block” intact, the function could be changed to a one-year ban at the very worst, and a system that determines whether the new “blocked” person’s expression is an excessively malicious spambot or something else, and if so, block the person as before. Also, instead of blocking people out of the blue, the new system allows users to create sub-accounts for a week at first, then a month, then a year. If the system encourages users to reflect on their actions and structure their accounts, rather than forcing them to create sub-accounts, it will make people who violate the rules without malicious intent reaffirm the rules and reflect on their actions. In addition, the blocking feature of not being able to see comments is excessive in some respects, because in the state of excitement after being blocked, the reaction of the chat at the moment of being blocked may cause rage, so not letting people see comments for an hour after being blocked, or even permanently, is It is excessive. It would also be effective to make the unblock request in the form of a chat so that the user can show remorse and reconfirm the rules, rather than just once. It would also make a big difference if there was a cushion, such as blocking those who attack the distributor or moderator.
    The above is my opinion, and I’m waiting for feedback and reactions from those who read this.

    The “block” function is the greatest exercise of power in chatting on twitch. This feature has the function of eliminating spam bots, political propaganda, and other obviously harmful entities that make comments knowing that they will be blocked.
    However, I think there is another side to this feature. This is the “monster-making machine” aspect.

15. Content/trigger warning system like the tag system

    I'd really love to have a content warning system similar to the tag system. It would auto-populate based on the current game or let streamers add warnings for Just Chatting or Talkshow streams. I'd prefer the system to be more opt-in than a popup every time you enter a stream. It would have a button near the category and tags part of the UI that reveals relevant warnings. It would be super nice if it could be user configurable to display a pop up only if a user navigates to a stream that contains a warning they've chosen to be alerted about.

16. Let Users Attach Files in User Reports

    It can be rather unintuitive to post links as evidence in user reports, as they're not parsed and can easily be overlooked. Therefore, to reinforce user reports more effectively, I suggest that Twitch upload files as attachments therein, such as pictures and video files.

17. Chat filter that bans new accounts

    Please make a chat filter which allows you to ban users with brand new accounts or accounts that are X days/hours/weeks old (give the streamer a choice.) It will prevent people from harassing streamers who just make new accounts after they've been banned and continue to harass.

18. Please don't let banned chatters be able to follow

    If someone is banned from a channel (not blocked) they should not be able to follow the channel. This should help limit the amount of bot spam and harassment attacks by making bad actors not be able trigger alerts or flood channels with follow bots.

    Another option would be to have an option to block banned channels automatically and having ban apeals as a separate form rather than just messaging the channel.

    It is beyond frustrating to get 20+ bots follow you in half an hour each with a simular name, some with blantant slurs.

19. Report Users without clicking on their username

    There is a clear and present epidemic of bot accounts on Twitch (eg: The innumerable 'hoss_###' accounts) harassing streamers and viewers on Twitch, especially smaller content creators.

    These bots are using a malicious third-party extension which can capture and log users' IP addresses whenever said user clicks on their name in chat, to view information about them as a user or views their channel.

    Since the report feature currently requires clicking on a user's name, this exploit undermines users' ability to moderate and combat these bot accounts. There are ways of banning these users directly from chat, such as Nightbot, but this does not solve the problem as the users themselves still exist and cannot be reported without potentially falling victim to their exploit.

    Implementing a separate web form to report users by their username, here in the Twitch Support pages, would assist greatly in ensuring these malicious actors are identified and properly taken care of.
