stop allowing groups like the adl and destiny from compromising the platform destiny, who was banned from twitch loves to brigade and spread hate in general. this person along with others like ethan klein caused several middle eastern streamers to get banned for 30 days. now the adl is applying pressure against anti-zionist and pro palestinian sentiment. the adl is in support of an ongoing genocide and shouldn't be trusted. allowing these people and orgs to apply this pressure will compromise the platform.

Approach Doxxing Seriously On Thursday night, January 16th, around 8:30 PM EST, I was doxxed live on stream. A new user entered my chat, making their username my street address, and announcing my legal name, full address, and phone number to everyone that was on my stream. My moderator quickly deleted the messages, but before we could block or ban the user, they immediately followed me, as they knew that information would stay on my chat no matter what.
The moderator that was there that night reported this individual as soon as they realized this was my private information. They got a default…

Disable Training for Generative AI Forcing all users to opt into having their content used for the training of Generative AI is a backstab to the own community and especially their safety. it is sickening that your voice, face, information, any personal branding will be stolen by default. its clear twitch still intends to keep their harmful and fraudulent AI features in tact but it should be something people knowingly and willingly have to accept into and not something discovered. twitch shouldn't be this deceitful towards its creators.
Please change it so that any generative training for AI is turned off by default and must…

Raise the minimum streaming age to 18 Twitch recently changed their content policy to allow more leniency around sexual content. Given the rampant child exploitation issues that have plagued Twitch for years, combined with the fact that Twitch allows children as young as 13 years old to stream on the platform, there is a serious concern that these changes could give child predators additional opportunities for harm.
Particularly concerning is that Twitch has not clarified in its content policy that the new sexual guidelines (or the old ones, for that matter), apply only to adult users of the platform. For example, Twitch indicates that sexual themes such…

Mental health Twitch should offer a more in-depth mental health section that not only focuses on streamer health (i.e. suicide prevention/depression) but also the streamer/follower relationship. Offering resources for those who do not understand that the streamer cannot always respond/ may not share the same feelings as the viewer. Essentially, we need a "how to use Twitch in a healthy, responsible manner" section, to educate all parties involved.

Whisper Filtering / Moderation A lot of streamers with whispers enabled have been harassed by someone via them. I know you can block whispers from strangers, but there are various beneficial reasons we may want to keep them enabled. Even just checking the whisper tab shows you the last message someone sent, and a lot of the times we really don't want to see that (for so many reasons I don't have to go into - discrimination, harassment, sexual content, hostility, etc).
I would like to propose easy moderation options for whispers, specifically message filtering.
I would love something similar to Chat AutoMod settings…42 votes -
Lack of Clarity for Digital Avatars in new Nudity & Sexual Content Guidelines regarding Anthro Characters With the new Nudity & NSFW content guidelines, it has made it very unclear to a lot of people in my community, the VRChat Roleplay community, whether or not furry models and/or avatars are under the same level of scrutiny as human avatars are.
On April 4, 2020, these rules were put into effect:
How do the new rules about AR Avatars impact my content if I stream a virtual reality sandbox game like VRChat?
- Our policy on Augmented Reality avatars applies to content where cameras and software are used to capture a person’s physical likeness and translate it…26 votes -
Twitch Ettiquette Training and Resources As a streamer and avid Twitch viewer, there are many community members who do not seem to understand the "unwritten rules" of Twitch. It would be lovely to have a resource or link to direct these people to. Perhaps an informative hub similar to the help center but focused on interpersonal conduct. Videos, articles, etc.
Some of the things observed:
- A user entering chat and stating they are underage (less than 13 for TOS violation, less than 18 in mature channels)
- Asking for mod privledges
- Asking for a gift sub
- First message in a channel: "Can…24 votes -
Accessibilility issues with Ad beaks pausing Ads pausing when tabbed out or not in view, the ones that go "This commercial break can't play while you're away" are a safety issue for people with photosensitive Epilepsy as tabbing away is how I and others avoid flashing adverts that can cause seizures.
Purchasing turbo is not an answer as paying for accessibility is not an acceptable option.
The best option is to not allow flashing adverts, the next best is to go back on the option of letting ads pause when you're not looking.23 votes -
discrimination policies need to stop. Stop discriminating against us. You're new policy is heavily based in bigotry against us in the LGBT Community and even says talking about race is some how political which is racist as well. I see you'll locking other polls talking about this topic and silencing the voices of everyone in the LGBT community and linking to a post on twitter which is a safe space for bigotry and also has rules against our existance. We boycotted that platform for good reasons, if you don't want us to all switch over to youtube this would be a good idea as I…

Remove access to a user following list by 3rd party sites Hello,
Please remove access to 3rd party sites to access API ,so that someone can not be able to track the following list of a person on twitch using websites like
: https://tools.2807.eu/follows or https://t-tools.lolarchiver.com/followinglist.This is harassment. Someone is always following me on twitch, where i go , and even if i could change my name , and they will see me in a stream then again they could start following me everywhere.
After the update a year or 2 ago people should not be able to see who someone is following on twitch and that feature should…10 votes -
Allow Content Label Warning Appeals We should be able to appeal ALL warnings! GIVE US A VOICE. AND if you're not going to let us appeal ALL warnings, you should at the very least clarify that on your community guidelines page what can be appealed and what cannot. It states that we can appeal enforcements, including suspensions AND warnings. Meanwhile, i've just been told we cannot appeal label warnings.
Not only are classification labels sorta new (I hadn't even heard of it until after my warning), but I'm sure there's room for mistakes on your end, and we should be able to appeal, regardless. I…10 votes -
2FA without revealing phone number I use half a dozen of websites with 2FA and I would use that for twitch too if I didn't have to reveal my phone number. Twitch is the only website that I know of which requires it and it is a huge STOP sign for me.

Hide channels from suggestions after banning them I believe it should be an idea to hide the channel (if that channel is streaming) from being suggested if that channel has been banned from your own channel because I banned The13thSeahawk recently from my channel yet he's being suggested by the algorithm whenever he's streaming. He has also banned me from his channel. If I clicked on his channel while I'm banned and my unban request was already used, it would tell me that I am permanently banned from his chat which would make it useless for me to visit The13thSeahawk's stream in the first place.
If implemented,…

Instead of collecting everyone's phone number and deter new viewers... For those who actually think enforcing telephone number is actually "safe". Please read up on how the telephone number system works and is implemented. Especially how typical SMS is implemented with SS7 protocol.
It is an absolutely terrible idea for any company to horde information, let alone information that is critical and not easily changed.
For botters, they can literally bulk buy numbers for less than $0.5/each, especially in scam rampant countries like India, Turkey, China, Russia... And what about for those with company phones or easy teleco infrastructure access? Way too easy to bypass for actual bad actors.

Require all Twitchcon partners to provide drink covers at events After the events that have been described at the Blerp VIP event, Twitch should take their safety further and demand partners or anyone with a booth on the convention floor that hosts a party offsite should be REQUIRED to provide drink covers.
It is a simple solution to a problem that happens almost every single year Twitchcon takes place. This will help and support creators who may feel a bit safer knowing measures have been taken to protect them.
Is this full-proof? No. But it is a step in the right direction for Twitch to take in order to provide…

Option to remove front page Carousel Give an option in settings to remove the front-page "Carousel" or whatever it is called.
Twitch has explicitly stated that the streamers shown in this section are manually curated by Twitch staff.
I have noticed that some of these streams are very much for mature audiences only (not quite 18+, but definitely not the sort of thing you could have on your screen in public).
95% of the streamers shown in this section are near identical to streamers I have explicitly blocked.
Twitch's recommended solution to this is clicking onto the stream (of the streamer you do not want to…8 votes -
thumbnails With the Art category going nuts with full nudity right now, the thumbnail system, which pulls a screencapture every 5 minutes, is displaying full nudity with zero age verification. You're running perilously close to some serious legal problems if you don't find a solution to that pretty quickly.

Restrict Follow button to those eligible to chat Hatebots that rely on crafted usernames with harassment messages in them can still inject themselves into a stream for harassment by using the Follow button, regardless of all other safety settings enabled. We've seen this attack on large scale before, and occasionally still pops up, often with accounts that were only just created.
Allowing us to restrict who can press the Follow button to only those eligible to chat (i.e. verified account, etc) raises the effort to harass people this way.
