1. Ban streamers who show more skin then clothing

   I am tired of coming onto twitch an seeing so many female streamers posing half naked an making thousands from it. This is not a **** website. There are children who watch this daily giving away there money because they think they have some kind of connection with these woman when they just lie an manipulate there viewers for donations. For example writing there name across there breasts for a tier 3 subscription. Its a despicable act that you allow this on your platform. Also the way you treat your male creators vs. female creators is awful, have some pride in your job an not let you're **** to the thinking. Male streamers have been banned for removing there shirt in excitement from winning a tournament ,etc this is not equality. Also stop banning you're biggest income if you'll just unban them in a day, it shows how weak minded you are an how poor your team collaboration is between employees, which by the way all ex-twitch employees talk about how bad of a workplace it is.

2. More Filters For Raids

   In light of the hate raids, I have been using the option to only allow raids from channels I follow. However, this is not the ideal option since it prevents being able to connect with other, genuine streamers that I may not currently know.

   It would be nice to have more filters for who can raid your stream. I think a great option would be "only allow raids from affiliates and partners" or "only allow raids from accounts that are x days old". This will help prevent others from making an account just to immediately hate raiding a stream.

4. Better saftey features that don't reduce growth or drive people from your channel

   Okay N.H.N L.S.C Judge DrSupermanShadow ( yes i stream the law and give information on the annexation of former nations including the USA
   out FROM TIME TO TIME) here, on twitch.... so 3 things

   1: I hate having follower-only and verified accounts ON ( it turns people away right quickly.)

   (which btw the way you have it set up is highly illegal, you have to by law accept google voice/ prepaid because both require a real identity BE attached, BUT HAVE STRICTER PRIVACY LAWS ATTACHED to who can see it)

   ( and since i want my autism to emote communication form)

   the safety features you have are not effective at all. i still get fake chatbot scanners( they transmit data to spam bots if you get low replys to their three basic questions, then I get a lot of buy followers spam still. so there is no way to keep the spam and trolls out and still grow my channel

   2nd while looking for a chatbot that installs answer a captcha
   ( or other forms of proving realism that spam bots can't actually do yet),
   ( select a free sound alert to play to prove you are real or select the better ttv to emote etc from a user's better tv channel)

   you should really look into a chat safety feature like that>>>

   the 3rd thing is I found many of spam bots people
   ARE USING because their code is listed on GIT HUB.
   YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CONTACT THEIR ADMINISTRATORS AND HAVE THEM HAVE THOSE TAKEN DOWN.

5. Contextual Cues

   "As we said above, suspension lengths vary according to important contextual cues, which may not always be obvious externally — but the way we evaluate those suspensions is always consistent for all users."

   If these are, indeed, consistently applied contextual clues, there's no reason why these clues shouldn't be publicly posted and / or visible.

   Put another way, if these rules are to be totally transparent in their application, no part of them should be hidden. If they cannot be made public, then the word / phrase / implication of "transparency" should be struck from the Community Guidelines lexicon.

   Sorry to be so blunt, but the idea of enforcement being "fair" without there being public and itemized factors is a pet peeve of mine. YouTube is notoriously guilty of it, as well.

6. 18+ or adult only mode, so we can have mature language, violence, nudity, sex and sexual content

   A mode that is only accessible to verified adults where adults can stream adult content or watch it, adult games are still video games. Adults shouldn't be thrown under the bus just because they like that content and after that one woman got banned twice for having sex live on twitch and came back in short order after raking in obscene money in the process.

   Now I don't have an issue with the act itself what two consenting adults do is up to them. Its mainly the wonky enforcement.

   So instead of twitch being two faced about it just make a mode for all adult content, that minors can't access. It's obvious twitch wants to monetize it as well. I wouldn't even be salty if they made it an extra sub service.

7. I cannot know whether or not I should appeal something without evidence of what actually happened.

   I was recently suspended with the option to appeal. Problem is, I can’t appeal something if I can’t see what I was suspended for.

   I was not sent any proof of what I was suspended for. How am I supposed to appeal something if I am not given proof of what happened?

   For example “You are suspended. Appeal here.”

   “Appeal what? What did I do that needs to be appealed?”

   Was there a legit nip slip that obviously does not warrant an appeal? Cheap clothing can sometimes be too thin. Is there a particular outfit I was wearing that was more transparent than I realized? Was it about transparency or nip slips at all or was it about something else entirely? Is it offensive to have hard nipples when it is cold?? Rock hard nipples can be seen THROUGH my bra and shirt and even my sweater… Is that a suspendible offense??

   Maybe I don’t actually NEED to appeal something after reviewing the evidence. But without evidence, THERE IS NOTHING TO APPEAL.

   I can’t tell what I was suspended for because I was not sent a screenshot or clip of the offensive outfit or action…

   Which outfit should I not wear again? Which position should I not make the mistake of moving into? How can I correct my outfits/actions when I don’t know which particular outfit/action caused the suspension?

   The suspension notification I received on Twitch when I tried to log in was too vague for me to be able to decide whether or not I need to appeal.

   Why was I not sent an email notification about this suspension, and when I sent an appeal saying “what even happened” why did I not receive an email notification that I had made an appeal??

   If I am able to see a clip or screenshot of what I was suspended for and I see that there had been something like a shadow in an inopportune place, or an actual stain on my shirt, I can appeal and say “hey that actually was not a nip slip but a shadow/stain.” But if I can see that there WAS ACTUALLY a nip slip or something other, I do not have a need to appeal because the evidence is there.

   I have streamed many videos with many outfits, but was suspended for “inappropriate outfit”.

   How do I know which outfit I should not wear again or which position I should not move into to prevent an accidental and unnoticed nip slip from happening again if I am not sent a clip or screenshot of the offense? Or maybe I’m completely on the wrong track and it was not a nip slip OR the outfit, but something I was not aware was offensive at all unless I am shown and told specifically what it was?

   Since the videos were deleted by Twitch, I cannot review them to see what happened. I may stream for fifteen hours in a day, and I don’t remember exactly what happened at what day or time without a screenshot or clip of the offensive video.

   You cannot make an appeal without evidence. You cannot offer to allow me to make an appeal without sending me evidence of what may or may not need to be appealed.

   This is simple law. The prosecutor needs to show proof that the offender offended or there is no case. The offender cannot plead guilty or not guilty to an offense without evidence of what the offense was. Without evidence there can be no plea.

   I was recently suspended with the option to appeal. Problem is, I can’t appeal something if I can’t see what I was suspended for.

   I was not sent any proof of what I was suspended for. How am I supposed to appeal something if I am not given proof of what happened?

   For example “You are suspended. Appeal here.”

8. Cooldown period for new streamers

   A potential new safety feature for Twitch could be a mandatory cooldown period between streams for new and/or unverified accounts. This cooldown period would require a user to wait a certain amount of time, such as 24-48 hours, before they are able to stream again.

   This feature is needed because it can help prevent malicious or harmful content from being streamed on the platform. It's not uncommon for new or unverified accounts to be created for the sole purpose of trolling, harassing, or otherwise violating Twitch's community guidelines. By implementing a mandatory cooldown period, Twitch can give its moderation team time to review the content of new or unverified accounts, ensuring that it meets the platform's standards before allowing them to stream again.

   Additionally, this feature can help prevent users from burning out or overextending themselves by requiring them to take breaks between streams. For instance, grandpoobear knowingly groped thedragonfeeney and you can google search more about it. Streaming can be a mentally and physically exhausting activity, and it's important for users to take care of themselves to prevent burnout and maintain a healthy work-life balance. By enforcing a cooldown period, Twitch can encourage users to take the necessary time to rest and recharge before streaming again.

9. Selective moderation of complaints on neo-Nazi channels

   Good afternoon. Short feedback about the unilateral support of moderators

   I am an adult, I am 30 years old. I believe that I assess the situation as an adult.

   The essence of the problem. Most of the major Ukrainian channels have banned Twitch. Because of planned attacks by Russians with complaints, because they hate everything Ukrainian. And the Twitch platform does nothing about Russians who incite hatred.

   In more detail, I will explain as an example.
   Go to your favorite broadcast, on Thursday-Friday. After the game Arma 3. A military game, a simulator, and see what the streamers are promoting there, in short, what I saw was the encouragement of the murders of not only Ukrainians, but people of the "Western world", propaganda of Nazism, insulting state officials symbols, languages ​​and others.

   When you try to say something in the chat, bad words, threats, etc. are heard.

   Tried to reset complaints with time codes. But no one responds. It seems that the moderator Ivan in Moscow is reading these complaints

   A clear example of selectivity.

   Why am I writing this? No war cannot be stopped, we will win unequivocally. But by stopping such propaganda, which you ignore, you can save hundreds of lives

   Because thousands of 18-20-year-olds, who watched Twitch for years, are now dying on the battlefield, because they believed from a young age in these propaganda streams, against which you do not take any measures.

   And turn it into your interests. Because if we don't stop them, they will come to you and your brothers, women, and children will die.

   You were able to create censorship on ****, child abuse, why neonism didn't help you, I don't understand.
   Thank you for your attention. If you have a template response in the style of a bot, "we consider everything", then it is better not to write, do not be ashamed even more.

10. Beauty & Body Art Community Concerns

    Since Body Painting has been established as a valid category on the platform, there has been a noticeable lack of encouragement from Twitch in creating a healthy community around it. This lack of support is further emphasized by the massive push back and public harassment of Body Painters online, including but not limited to: Organized hate raids by other streamers, Streamers sexualizing body painters on their own live streams, Public groups that organize mass reports on body painters, Lack of response by Twitch to counter the culture of continued degradation of women through objectification by viewers (including inappropriate usernames).

    Twitch has a growing issue on its platform in regards to Body Art, one of its more controversial categories. The streamers of this category are heavily targeted for harassment every day by other streamers and their communities, often leading to malicious mass reports on accounts resulting in account suspensions and bans with little offering as to the specifics of what the offense entails. While the community is grateful for Twitch to include this art on it's platform, the seeming lack of effort to foster a sense of support for the community is disappointing. While it is true that Twitch has offered a recent update to the community guidelines in regards to body painting, they still leave too much up to interpretation. These gray areas leave a number of inconsistencies laid bare on the enforcement of these policies, and leave the streamers feeling a lack of safety in their art. The additional focus, and inequality of these rules being enforced on male presenting streamers as well, also has a play in how the Body Painters are objectified as these guidelines are settled under "****** Content".

    Proposed Solution
    Twitch has an opportunity to lead by example and help to change the rampant culture of ****** harassment and hateful conduct on the platform by showing support for one of it’s most controversial categories. After much discussion with over 100 body painters about the trials we face on a daily basis, we came to a few proposals that if implemented would create a better sense of belonging, safety, security and health in the category. Many of these proposals also have the ability to improve the ****** harassment faced by all females on the platform if expanded on.

    Being as controversial a category as Body Painting is, the community would like to ask for even MORE defined guidelines. There are too many areas that need further definition, such as how long is a short break when painting since the average body paint takes anywhere from 6 to 8 hours to complete? What constitutes performing unrelated activities? How much coverage actually has to be painted before a stream starts (whole ***? Areola/*** and underbust only? Does it need to be detailed or is a single color ok? Do we need to start with the chest as we paint or starting with the face ok?)? As streamers we've seen inconsistency in enforcement of these rules as some streamers are known to show off a pet on stream in a break from painting, some eat while simultaneously painting, and others may take a moment to answer bigger questions on stream. In many of these situations we've seen some people become suspended or banned from the platform when being threatened with reports while live, and others no severe action taken under the same threats. By further defining time limits, expectations of paint coverage to meet, and what is considered a break versus participating in unrelated activities, it leaves little question to the streamer as to what is allowed, and removes some of the discrepancy between how these reports are handled.

    To further elaborate on these discrepancies, we would like to propose that a team of two persons be assigned to review reports against body painters. This can be expanded on to include all ****** content reports that happen live, but is important that there be little room for error when handling these cases. In order to set a precedence for conduct and what is expected, there has to be consistency in the actions taken as well as the reasoning behind those actions. Not only are the guidelines easily interpret-able, but the reasons for suspensions and bans are even more vague and lacking context. If the reports made against body painters are handled by specific staff, that further makes it possible for consistency and clearer definition of the offense when resulting in punishment.

    I cannot stress enough how the platform as a whole would benefit from clearer reasoning for suspensions and bans. While it is hard to give time stamps for the offense in question due to the VOD being removed from the site, it would not be impossible to supply a screenshot or clip with clearer definition of the actions being performed that were against policy. Not only does being clearer about policy enforcement help the community by setting clear precedent, it honors an overwhelming outcry to Twitch to honor its commitment to transparency.

    There is also a great opportunity here to add in a community manager for the creative category with an emphasis on Body Painting. With a community manager, those streaming in Beauty&Body Art would have a designated point of contact when there are questions or concerns about content they wish to produce. Community managers also allow Twitch to have live eyes on the category and better utilize the warning system as things are happening live allowing the streamer to either end their stream or course correct immediately. This line of communication also narrows the ability of more edgy streamers to intentionally misinterpret the guidelines, and would give Twitch staff in Safety and Policy a better view of the issues and harassment going on. This suggestion is one that has been implemented by competitors, including YouTube, who have active community managers that do outreach to streamers and communities while live.

    The list of issues facing body painters is long, and the concern over the lack of support received from Twitch as a category is frustrating. We truly believe in Twitch as a platform though, and the powerful change that can be made in the current culture of objectification and ****** harassment, not only by other streamers but the viewers as well, if Twitch were to take a stance in this controversial category. As a community, we sincerely hope that you will hear our voice, our concerns, and take into consideration our many proposals for solutions. We are open to discussion with policy staff and willing to work to help better the platform as a whole.

    Since Body Painting has been established as a valid category on the platform, there has been a noticeable lack of encouragement from Twitch in creating a healthy community around it. This lack of support is further emphasized by the massive push back and public harassment of Body Painters online, including but not limited to: Organized hate raids by other streamers, Streamers sexualizing body painters on their own live streams, Public groups that organize mass reports on body painters, Lack of response by Twitch to counter the culture of continued degradation of women through objectification by viewers (including inappropriate usernames).

    Hey guys!

    There were some discussions that weren’t super applicable to feedback and I have gone ahead and removed them.

    We super appreciate the feedback and want to keep hearing your ideas. Please just keep it focused on bodypainting/body art community and feedback around that, over feedback on specific channels/users.

    If you have anyone who you are concerned about on Twitch or someone who you are worried about how they are acting on Twitch always feel empowered to report them so our team can further investigate the situation.

13. Twitch Bot For Severe Weather Alerts for Viewers

    Viewers should receive whisper and or other alerts when weather such as tornadoes and flash floods are imminent in their area or other emergency situations that should be the priority of certain viewers.

    There is too much world and too much weather to alert people in chat but it wouldn't be out of bounds to have these alerts appear as a window the viewer has to acknowledge before continuing to participate. After all these are viewers are no good to you dead.

    As I write this there may be dozens of tornadoes all over Oklahoma. You can only alert those who have made their location available to you but it's important for you to take the steps needed to protect the viewers who could be sucked up into the atmosphere or flooded down a hillside at any moment.

    Lot's of people in these areas are vigilant but plenty become desensitized to these relatively common events.

    This is definitely something that you can do in several ways but I think it's important that you require the viewer to acknowledge that an emergency situations has been declared in their area.

14. Better moderation and banning rules

    Okay, I just wanted to ask if you could review your bannable behaviours: I found out that a streamer was permbanned for saying the world "blacks". I don't think that you should ban someone, worst if it is a streamer, for saying such a thing. Instead, the racist ones are the moderators. If saying "black" is racist, the only thing I can say is that only racist people could have the idea to think that it is racist. Come on, start thinking.

15. Don't tag our videos for copy right music when its playing in game music like call of duty modern warfare war tracks that auto plays in game

    in call of duty modern warfare 2 there are war tracks that players can add to vehicles as part of the game that gets streamers audio muted and videos muted and makes it more difficult for new or older users to stream

16. Remove sexual content and re-classify what "sexual content" is according to Twitch's standards

    If we're going to remove gambling for being a bad influence to children then I think it's past time to change the rules for sexual content and how Twitch classifies "sexual content". Exposing children to content like this can corrupt their mind and make them view sex as something it's not, which in the long run can effect their future relationships.

    Pretending that parents can constantly be there to watch every move a kid makes online isn't going to change the reality of the situation for most normal families who don't have time. As parents we rely on the staff at Twitch to keep the platform safe of anything that might harm a child, we understand the occasional slip up now and then but blatantly allowing sexual content where streamers are in lingerie doing "yoga" with no punishment is inexcusable.

    Other examples of an inappropriate scenario would be a hot tub stream where one is wearing lingerie. The type of clothing is especially blatantly sexual, as lingerie is quite literally something worn during the act of sex. With the current guidelines and the way the staff enforce them, Twitch is a gateway to **** addiction, and with **** addiction comes a plethora of other social / mental issues.

    This topic has been heavily debated in the past, and I think with this last change it should no longer be a debate. Twitch has a prerogative of protecting children? Then REALLY protect children.

17. Ban the game Custer's Revenge

    This **** game for Atari 2600 features the player as Custer raping a Native American woman, which is in violation of Twitch's Community guidelines.

18. Stop allowing suicidal ideation in usernames

    Seeing anything related to suicidal ideation is problematic for many individuals with mental health issues. There are a number of usernames with some form of suicidal reference in the name.

    This was used by some people shortly after the hate raid incident to target veterans with mental health issues, such as myself. Now, I continue to see usernames like this, whether targeted or not, and it is not something that should be allowed.

19. Too many kids

    I have seen for past week a lot off kids (under age users) who not even reached 13 years keep abusing ASMR category and stream there. Your usual report system isn't working, because i personally was asking streamer "How old is she and she said 11 y old!" is way to wrong because in next moment some weirdo started type like "I love u, *****, shorts, u are beautiful" and lots more. That's why you must do something to keep kids safe from SA on Twitch and make more difficult registration for kids on this platform. Hear me out! Kids not safe here at all!!! We must protect them from pedo and weirdos!

20. Implement Terms of Service Article regarding Co-Authorship

    Under German law (§8 UrhG), and certainly under the equivalent copyright laws of various other countries, anyone who participates in the creation of a work is entitled to co-authorship.
    Theoretically, users who write in the Chat which is inserted in the stream footage can claim co-authorship of the stream.
    Yes, in this case one can argue that as with a call on live television, it must be expected that one's own contribution (like the voice on television), will be broadcast live.
    BUT: That streamers offer a VoD on Twitch is OPTIONAL. Also, that streamers record the stream and upload to YOutube, is not a given.
    Thus, for the live stream it can be argued that common sense dictates that the participation is expected to be commercially used - but not for VoDs. This would mean that all commentators would be entitled to co-authorship as long as their comments are shown in the stream. And thus also a share in the revenues that streamers generate with them.

    Likewise, it is a problem when, for example, authors write their books live on stream, incorporating ideas and suggestions from their chat (same goes to other artists implementing ideas prompted to them via chat). According to german, but certainly other countries' laws as well, the originators of the ideas also have the copyright and such after implementation of those ideas a co-authorship on the resulting work.

    So my request is:

    With a simple extension of your TOS, like

    "By agreeing to the TOS, users unrevocably allow Creators, whose streams they comment on via the chat function, to commercially use the content of said chat posts royalty-free",

    you would create legal security for your Creators.
