1. Profile picture not shown until approved by twitch

   There needs to be a change with in twitch as there has been multiple profiles with problematic pictures that are grounds for banned. There needs to be a implementing of a non-approved stage for profile pictures followed by a approved stage so that way we don't have problematic grounds when someone's profile picture shows up in someone's stream during a game or such ex being marbles. Because this brings up problems for the streamer were we have to take even more steps to avoid being flagged or banned for something we ourselves didn't display. This includes but not limited to NSFW material and pictures with racial slurs

2. Add Authy Badge and "Authenticated Users Only"

   Here's a catch of the Followers-Only mode that is bad: A spambot can follow anyone at any time and never talk anything. By the point someone turns on Followers-Only mode the bot has followed long enough to be allowed to taint the chat with spam.

   And here's the solution:
   Authy Badge: this would be a better "Verified Badge" than the Verified Badge, because it would confirm that the person activated 2FA, which typically involves having a phone, which typically means bots have a harder time verified themselves as a legitimate user and the Verified Badge is nothing more than "this Person is a partner, ya'll!" badge, doesn't even fit the term "verified".

   Authenticated Users Only: As I said above: 2FA is a roadblock for bots. Whether it is a big roadblock or not, I don't know, but I'm pretty SURE it is better at that than whatever other spam control is currently in effect.

3. CAPTCHA Solver for Follows / Non-Followers

   Many ideas have been discussed here about adding 2FA as a next level security for accounts to verify they're legit and not just a spam bot account and chat. (See: https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/933812-safety/suggestions/41306257-adding-2fa-to-chat-as-optional-filter)

   ---

   What I propose here that is different those ideas is adding a CAPTCHA solver puzzle for people who want to follow a channel. And I'm not talking about those silly Text Based CAPTCHA solver puzzles that are distorted with upper and lower case characters and other things, but an image based CAPTCHA solver puzzle.

   1. New followers will have to solve a CAPTCHA, a One-time Only process before the follow goes through.

   2. Non-Followers sending chat messages to channels will have to solve a CAPTCHA in order to post messages in chat, and is NOT One-time Only, and will have to redo a CAPTCHA every 45 Minutes.

   3. Regulars, VIPs, and Subscribers are immune to needing to solve a CAPTCHA portal to post messages in chat, providing they have verified their email and phone number on their account, and that their accounts are older than 90 days, and already completed a One-time Only CAPTCHA portal.

   With these 3 things, this will mitigate the most common types of abuse, bot spams, bot follows, hate raids, etc... Requiring the user to solve a CAPTCHA portal would need to be an essential feature globally enforced to prevents these things happening on the platform in light with what's going on with all the hate raids that are going on, it would also enhance safety of its users on the platform from abuse, harassment, etc...

4. 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

5. Broadcaster Able remove/rescrict followers

   I wanted suggestion that Streamers would be able remove a follower and set it the way he could not follow you again with a time limit or permanently. last year I contacted the staff about follower who refuse to unfollow even he hated me and always came back spy and lose my followers with false facts he never got anything of it. So I wanted to suggest this if anyone has similar situations, to get ability just simply remove the follower yourself and able control if you can follow you again.

6. 18+ Tag or Filter

   18+ Tag or Filter

   Since there is a lot of interest in allowing nudity on Twitch with games and art, it would be best for them to implement a proper 18+ filter or tag allowing the user to clearly see. The mature warning you receive before watching the stream is mostly ignored, so adding some restrictions for users under 18 would help a lot with future streams.

7. Allow users to permanently black list or block specific streamers from ever appearing to them.

   It baffles me that this is not already a thing considering there are so many insufferable narcissistic twats and rotters streaming these days but PLEASE for the love of god allow or give us the functionality to BLOCK streamers so that they never appear to us at all.

   Yes there is the function whereby we can remove them from appearing if sorting by "Recommended for you" BUT they still appear if sorted by any other means which is often because if you sort your channels by "Highest Viewer" count for example, you can't avoid some of these. PLEASE PLEASE Allow us to permanently block channels from appearing. This is also useful if parents while supervising their children of course, want for some channels not to appear to them by accident even. It seems like a no brainer thing to be able to have a block list on a channel based website.

   Thanks for your time.

9. Add a Moderator Complaint form to report bad faith Channel Mods

   There should be an option on Twitch to report moderators that are going on power trips and abusing their power. There are some viewers on Twitch who are getting wrongfully and unfairly banned from chats, or are getting sent derogatory messages from a moderator after sending an unban request. If a mod abuses their status as a moderator, then there should be some sort of form that allows viewers who have been unfairly banned and even been picked on by certain mods to send a complaint to have the specific mod in question investigated, even if they don't actually know who banned them. I was banned a long time ago from a chat and after sending an unban request stating that I have changed, a mod said I was 'dictating what they should do', and that the decision is final. That is completely out of the line for a mod to say and I was nice to them the entire time but then they backstab me and treat me with disrespect. There should be an option to report mods that do this kind of derogatory behavior through a Twitch request form where you can report a mod guidelines violation. Seriously, there needs to be some sort of form to report moderators that deny unban requests with out of line and derogatory responses or unfairly ban innocent viewers for completely idiotic, barbaric, and dumb reasons, or even for no reason at all. Coming from a user who was sent a degrading message from a mod about my unban request being denied, this is a feature that definitely needs to be added to the site immediately. I mean, come on. Reddit has one, so why can't Twitch?

10. Preventing "Burner" Account Creation

    The current Twitch account creation system offers little to no assurance of protection for creators. Enforcement actions, when taken, are reactive, rather than proactive, and require submitting reports, writing descriptions, and disrupting the stream, which is exactly what these people want. Even enabling email verification for users to chat does not prevent someone from creating multiple successive, free "burner" email accounts for the express purpose of harassing one or more users. Someone can simply create a free email account online, create a free Twitch account, use the new email to verify the account, and circumvent that particular feature. To prevent this, there are a number of possible solutions.

    1) Implement a one-time account creation fee. It doesn't have to be a huge fee, and could of course come with maybe a few bits or a free sub or something. Not much, but enough that it would deter all but the most determined from creating say, 12 accounts in a 30 minute period. How many people would be willing to spend money just to harass someone for a few minutes before being blocked and banned? Probably a lot less than are happy to do it for free. Obviously, an account creation fee wouldn't apply to Amazon Prime users, but I feel there should be some sort of consequence for any Prime user whose account is connected to ToS violations (i.e., forfeiture of Prime benefits, Prime fee, and being barred from subscribing in the future).

    2) Require credit card verification. Look, I promise, I don't work for the man, but studies have shown anonymity to be a major factor in online harassment. A credit card (or debit card with a credit card carrier like most have), would be tied directly to the individual, providing traceability, and therefore accountability.

    3) As many other posts have suggested, implement IP or MAC tracking. Look, you aren't fooling anyone, when a secure connection is established, the IP address is requested and sent as part of the handshake. The information is already there, and consequently (because servers), logged. Use it.

    The reality here is that harassment will be a problem as long as there are avenues for individuals to exploit. Banning or suspending a user after the fact does nothing to discourage the single-minded, therefore precautionary measures must be explored and implemented to protect creators who choose Twitch to safely interact with their communities. It's worth noting that cyber harassment is actually a crime in some jurisdictions, so maybe putting a little more effort into preventing it - instead of worrying so much about what to do after it happens - might be a good investment for everyone.

11. The whisper feature has "Block whispers from people you don't follow" on by default. To stop harassment.

    I run a stream and sometimes people who are banned from chat can still harass people in chat by whispering to them. Most are not aware that they can turn whispers from people they don't follow off. This is a problem I'm seeing all over twitch after the addition of whisper. It would be more user friendly if it was on by default. Thankyou :)

    We should delete follower by ourselfs.

    Maybe someone is getting follow-botted and twitch don't delete the bots, maybe someone banned him that he cant talk in chat anymore but still follow the channel and whatches but you dont want that.

    You dont wan't that this person see you live.

    We should have a option where we can delete the followers in our dashboard.

14. Do Not Show my Channel to any user I have blocked on the directory.

    This should be a simple feature to add, if I blocked a user, make it so that user will not see my channel listed on the directory.

    You already have it so a banned user will not see chat, expand this to also cover the directories, so they can't see your channel even being listed on that user account.

15. raid whitelist

    A raid-allow whitelist of channels, that is toggled on/off, will allow streamers to control the channels that are allowed to raid, removing one of the current threats to safety for marginalized communities trying to operate on Twitch in the context of hate raiders often performed by bot accounts.

16. Apoyar un canal que ha sufrido veto injustamente

    Del mismo modo que se puede reportar un canal, sugiero poner una opción para apoyarlo si se considera injusto un veto. Recientemente he visto en directo cómo un emisor de un canal que había vetado de forma oportuna y necesaria a los típicos malechores que por envidia o porque no saben divertirse de otro modo hacían su chat del todo desagradable, tuvo que sufrir el reporte de dichos maleantes y fue injustamente vetado su canal. Propongo que se deje un lugar en Twitch para apoyar a dicho canal facilitando al creador un enlace para que pueda recibir el apoyo de sus seguidores. No encuentro en la Ayuda de Twitch ninguna opción para poder hacer eso. Saludos

18. Follow Disable Function

    This feature would allow creators to allow and disallow follows to protect against spam, such as followbotting. If a user starts to get followbotted, they can turn off follows, and problem fixed. It will lead to less issues in the future going back and forth with support and stressing about whether or not you will be banned from Twitch.

19. Warn new streamers of fake donation messages

    I started checking out lower viewer count streamers and noticed a trend of groups of people targeting new streamers with fake donation messages.

    e.g. Username: has donated $1500.00! :TwitchVotes:

    They use the TwitchVotes emote to make the message to make it look legitimate, as it's a Twitch icon with a checkmark. They use these donations to pressure people into doing things, everything from small pranks, to more dangerous stuff, to more sexual requests. It's surprisingly effective, as a lot of these people are non-technical or new to streaming, and feel pressured into doing these dares. I've reported these users, but they don't get banned fast enough.

    My suggestion to fix this problem would be some kind of chat banner notification that lets them know that there's no way for them to be receiving donations through twitch outside of an external account like PayPal and that they are fake, and/or detecting these messages and displaying a warning to prevent abuse.

    I know people were abusing the /me command to fake donations, and it was changed for the same reason.

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