  1. Several users that have been banned in the channel I mod for ignore the unban request feature and DM the streamer directly. This has always been an incredibly toxic interaction and really defeats the purpose of banning someone in the first place. Banned chatters shouldn't be able to DM the streamer of a channel they're banned from.

  2. One of our moderators accidentally banned the wrong person with a misclick. He immediately corrected this mistake, but the user remains banned in all channels that use the Shared Ban feature, which is a lot of manual cleanup (plus the user is marked as Suspicious now, because he is banned in a lot of other channels).

    It would be nice to have a way to undo sharing a ban.

  4. Recently, the mobile iOS app has been automatically changing the video bitrate.

    To not burn through my data plan, I keep it at a certain lower bitrate.

    Also, aren't you trying to keep you costs low?

    So why the F*** did you, multiple times in the last few days, automatically switch it UP to higher bitrates?

    And there's NO OPTION to DISABLE it.

    Keep the function, some people will like it, just give an option to disable it please.

  5. Currently, Blocking a user will not prevent their channel from appearing in places such as Browse / Discovery, Front Page, and a handful of other similar misc locations. Going out of your way to block a user should act as a full platform block in every possible location that their channel would normally appear under, including such places as Browse by Live Channels. Please consider making this change, as it would be a very nice Quality of Life adjustment for Twitch. Thank you

  6. 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.

  7. I like to drink rum while I stream. It's kind if my thing. Since I drink a couple of glasses of alcohol, twitch is forcing me to add the alcohol classification, which is fine, but why am I now being forced to brand my stream with "Drugs, Intoxication, or Excessive Tobacco Use" in big letters under my stream?

    I don't want my stream to be associated with drug use. Seperate these labels so people know exactly what they're watching instead of such a broad classification of completely different things.

  8. With the new Content Classification system that has come into use today, replacing the mature content setting, there is one issue that I believe should be looked at.

    Fully family friendly streams who are playing limited aspects of a game (such as an MMO) should be able to toggle off the automated label, as the interstitial shown to viewers will discourage viewers who would otherwise be watching said family friendly content.

    For example, I stream the Elder Scrolls Online, which carries an ESRB rating purely for content in quests and dungeons. However, all I stream is housing tours, looking at…

  9. Please, please turn off autoplay or autoset the volume to like 10% on the DJs on the main page if you're going to be pushing DJs so much. It is horrific for anybody using headphones. Every time I go to the main page I am absolutely assaulted by insanely loud music to the point where it's actually painful. My ears are crying.

  10. When I block someone in another chat, I definitely do not want them in my own stream. They should automatically be banned from my community.

  11. hello, i've noticed that if you open a category while filtering for more that 3 languages and then select "viewers high to low" or "viewers low to high" it will only print "No results found" instead of showing any streams

  12. While I fully support any creator's right to produce whatever content they wish within Twitch's TOS, there are many users who for multiple reasons, do not wish to view Sexualised Content.

    Currently, even if a streamer marks their content with the 'Sexual Themes' tag, I still see thumbnails of them performing sexualised content in my Browse view, and often see a second or two of sexualised content before the 'warning screen' appears. On top of this, I'm also seeing sexualised content in their stream titles.

    I would like to see a default setting in User Preferences where users are asked…

  13. Anonymous sub-gifts should be able to be seen by the Streamer so they can determine if a ban should be possible. A female streamer I watch is being harrassed through Anonymous gifted subs to Twitch names of a sexual nature as well as threatening names of physical harm. Let me be clear, this isn't in the TTS message, it's an actual Twitch account name being used to target and harass her. There needs to be a better way to report these people, ban their card use by Twitch, or prevent them from gifting by the streamer. This is a literal…

  14. Now that streams are being classified as sexual, the logical next step is for me to opt out of receiving recommendations for sexual content.

  15. I was happy for new artistic nudity update but didn't expect this site to become full of aroused genitals. Is it still artistic nudity or po***graphy at this point?

    How can a drawing with fully erect, wet genitals be classified as artistic when we all know what is the point of this kind of art? There is a difference between a nude portrait or a naked silhouette and some 18+ anime drawing with characters showing off body in sexual manner.

    And it's the first thing EVERYONE sees when they enter art category.

    If this kind of stuff is okay, can…

  16. These aspects of the guidelines seem incongruent with the interests of a younger audience, potentially exposing them to content that may not be suitable for their age group.

    Examples of their recent changes to their guidelines permit what they call "artistic nudity", poledancing, and twerking. On top of this, the guidelines effectively state that there is no age restriction (i.e. 18+).

    I find this blatant disregard for child safety on the internet incredibly disturbing, and given Twitch has had controversies in the past regarding sexual misconduct, they choose to update their guidelines to include it instead of taking action against…

  17. Dear Twitch team,

    I am asking you for justice. eleezabet (https://www.twitch.tv/eleezabet ) recently, this account was blocked by mistake, and I would like to explain the situation and ask you to reconsider your decision.

    The eleezabet account was blocked for a reason related to bypassing the block through another account https://www.twitch.tv/annashtern However, I want to emphasize that this is a misunderstanding. The eleezabet user and the account he was confused with are completely different people. We are sure that when checking external signs such as IP addresses, geolocation and other data, you will be able to confirm that there…

  18. My account was indefinitely suspened and it was apparently due to my user name (which has been the same for the 4 year existence of my account). I would happily change the Username to keep my account, but my appeal was immediately rejected.

    Will there me another opportunity to appeal or is my account gone forever?

    My feedback here would be, I would love to see the opportunity to have a bit of dialogue when an account has no prior suspensions/bans both via twitch or any of the channels they follow. Slap on the wrist and change it would totally…

  19. I've reported a partnered streamer numerous times over the course of several years for stalking and harassment, this last time (in March/April) with hard evidence that he joined one of my off-Twitch communities on purpose (after being asked repeatedly over the course of many years to leave me alone).

    First off, asking the victim to go directly to their stalkers page to report them is unbelievably careless and cruel, and they need to implement a way to report stalkers without having direct contact with them like that.

    Secondly, they don't do anything about it, even if you have evidence. They…

  20. Sorry but that was literally the stupidest TOS change you’ve made to date. I don’t want freaking **** on my twitch app and twitch should not be a site that hosts ****. And the fact that you’re well aware of how many minors use your app yet you still decided to allow sexual content is absolutely disgusting. And don’t try to use the “Well we’ll label it as sensitive content so kids don’t access it” excuse. Unless you have a valid way of verifying age, kids CAN and WILL easily bypass these warning and watch these sexual streams. This was…
