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…38 votes -
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…

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…3 votes -
Neurodiverse discrimination should not be tolerated! I do not believe that twitch is doing enough to make the platform a safe place for Neurodiverse people in same way it does for other forms of discrimination.
Twitch should provide basic instructions of how to recognize Neurodiverse discrimination on the twitch platform but also related platforms such as Discord and twitter.
…- For example if a person has disclosed that they are neurodiverse and another user continually posts comments such as weird or repeated post gif and emotes under the disclosed persons messages. This would be harassment and victimization - It should also be made clear that streamers

Banned users shouldn't be able to recommend channels they are banned from Banned users should not be able to recommend the channels they have been banned from on their own page. It can act as a functional workaround to the ban.

Preventing Burner Account harrassment I've been getting bothered by burner accounts that follow me and use the points to spam their username, which is usually outrageously explicit, before I can manage to ban them.
A solution I think would be nice would be to add an extra layer in verification to add the option of requiring an account be of a certain age for followers/ first time chatters IN ADDITION to the email/phone number verification. Instead of verified email OR an account older than (x), verified email AND an account older than (x). In addition from preventing chatting, we should prevent following AND ANY…

better content security and end-user control over extension-loading A security incident with my account recently convinces me twitch is very vulnerable to cross-site scripting. I therefore would like to constructively suggest:
motivating and applying proper content security policies to filter out untrusted 3th party dependencies; these seem to be completely missing right now?
giving the end user, the viewer, more control over which extensions are loaded on a stream independent of the streamer's configuration... i want to block all extensions from now on, but i can't easily?
maybe doing the threat modelling to exclude all CSRF related threats if not already done
Where my proof is limited my…

Discover Luna/Potential for Doxing When you have you Amazon Prime linked to Twitch, Clicking the Discover Luna box beside Twitch Icon/Following/Browse on Twitch website, it will redirect you to Amazons website. On Amazons website the first thing that will appear is your linked address if you are logged into Amazon on your browser, potentially doxing you. Recommend providing a popup window that tells you that you will be redirected to Amazon.ca/.com to prevent this happening to others would be appreciated to keep users/streamers private information safe in the event your a curious cat on stream clicking buttons. Having a single button hosted on twitches…

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.

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.

Enable 'ss06' for parts where Twitch uses the font Roobert While https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/933812-safety/suggestions/45174628-default-font-is-causing-impersonation-problems exists, it is primarily for changing the font entirely. This suggestion is about enabling 'ss06' for Roobert instead. This allows the user to distinguish lowercase L and uppercase I much easier as the lowercase L would have a spur.

Account Verification needed for Following Channels. The safety settings as of now only affect the chat, not the channel itself. Leaving the streamer vulnerable to "Follow Raids" by bot accounts. Here are some safety options that could be implemented to prevent this:
[All examples are toggable options]1- Account Verification: Non-Verified accounts (via e-mail or phone) aren't able to follow the channel.
2- Account Age: Accounts created before X days aren't able to follow the channel.
Meassures have to be taken for the safety of twitch streamers, these options will help every user in this platform. It's very demoralizing to be streaming and out of the…

Subject: Suspension Appeal Submission Content: Dear Twitch Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to submit an app Subject: Enhancing Streamer Safety through Raid Restrictions
Feedback:
I propose implementing restrictions on Twitch raids to enhance streamer safety. Currently, any individual with their Twitch chat can initiate a raid towards any streamer by using the command @streamer. However, I believe it would be more beneficial to set a minimum threshold of 10 or more viewers for a raid to be successful. This ensures that the raid is more likely to be positive and engaging for the streamer.The rationale behind this suggestion is to mitigate potential negative impacts of raids initiated by a single viewer. A raid involving a…

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.

A little confused about whether banning removes follower So I know this has been discussed a couple of times, but I think that's part of where my confusion is coming from. I want to know whether, as a mod or broadcaster, does banning a follower remove them from the broadcaster's follower list or not?
This page mentions that banning a user will remove them from the broadcaster's follower list: https://safety.twitch.tv/s/article/Managing-Harassment?language=en_US#7ChannelBans
However, in this UserVoice thread Twitch mentions that that change was rolled back: https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310201-chat/suggestions/44393841-remove-the-feature-that-unfollows-banned-users
So I'm a little confused about this. I know that if the broadcaster blocks a follower, the follower gets removed from the follower list.…

Hate Raid Mass Report Response I noticed a lot of hate raids will flag / report a channel rapidly to get it taken down; and it had me thinking about Steam Review Bombing.
I was wondering if a possible fix might be that if a channel gets an exceptional amount of flags / reports in a short period of time that those reports are thrown out or logged as possible hate raid? Might allow your automated systems to avoid banning streamers in these situations while not removing the ability to still report content.
