  1. 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.

  2. Please allow the editing of a reason for a channel ban.
    Specifically, allow the editing of the reason text of a channel ban, without unbanning the user in question first. It is important that the user stays banned during this process, and that the timestamp of when the user was initially banned is preserved.
    I am someone who likes to tell users why they have been banned, often in great detail, so that they may easily see the error of their ways and show remorse for their actions before submitting an unban request. However, it is a regular occurrence, that…

  3. Greetings,

    Labeling streams with Sexual Themes is not enough because thumbnails of them still appear in category listings.

    They need there own category to be required to be in. Streams with someone shaking their buttocks in the camera should not be allowed in categories such as Art. I am sick of seeing preview images of them in channel lists. It is disgusting. We should have a choice in whether we see that or not.

    Thanks

  4. I played one of my own YouTube videos on my stream and it got muted because someone reuploaded the video to YouTube and Spotify SEVEN YEARS LATER and claims to own it.

    I AM LITERALLY IN THE VIDEO. IT IS VERY EASY TO TELL I AM THE PERSON WHO MADE IT. I believe these false claims are a form of harassment against me, as many women & trans people on Twitch face similar types of aggression.

    My VODs get unpublished every time I stream now because someone has been given permission by Twitch to claim they own MY work!!

  5. 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…

  6. Enable full verification of a user with a mobile number and passport ID. So that it can stop people looking for and abusing the young people who stream.
    When the same user can only create a new account with a new e-mail, it does not make security very high for the young people that predators try to take into private rooms. To date I have reported many people trying this.

    If safety is important for those under 18, this should be a matter of high priority. Enable that "everyone" must activate their account with a mobile number.

    How many of…

  7. 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,…

  8. The current wave of harassment bots mass generate accounts seconds before they follow, typically making accounts and following sequentially so that their usernames read out as a torrent of abuse.
    It is clear that automation is used to create these accounts and command them to follow. It should not be possible to create accounts with automation.
    Therefore do the following things:
    Implement recapture or other real human authentication method for account creation.
    IP block for account creation on the same IP within an hour.
    Introduce a feature to Shield Mode that prevents unverified accounts from being able to follow at…

  9. I often have to report spam bots or onlyfans advertising bots. Now I have to enter my e-mail address every time I want to report a bot.

    Please remove the e-mail field or prefill the field with the e-mail address stored in my account.

    Having to fill in the field every time is very annoying and prevents you from reporting accounts that spam users with ads or other things.

  10. If a song is part of the game, it should not be muted. If you're going to insist to have the stupid DMCA filters in place in the first place at least have them set to recognize songs that are in various games so I don't have parts of my stream muted for songs that the game comes with.

  11. HALLO! An den Leser dieser Nachricht: Ich verurteile nicht Sie als Person, sondern die geldgierigen Entscheidungsträger dieser Plattform!

    Beschwerde:
    Ich mochte Twitch immer und ich werde es weiter nutzen, aber ich wollte wenigstens einmal für mein eigenes Gewissen rückmelden wie entsetzlich und beschämend es ist, dass Twitch zu einer halben Pornoseite geworden ist auf der diverse junge Menschen dazu verleitet werden ein falsches Frauenbild zu erlernen und ggf sogar Geld in den Rachen dieser bemitleidenswerten "Damen" zu werfen.
    Vor dem Gesetz ist das natürlich nicht strafbar, da ja jeder selber auf seine Kinder aufpassen muss(was nahezu unmöglich ist), aber moralisch…

  12. Have a filter, specific words are not allowed in the username. Or have it as someone makes a new account there username has to get approval first before allowing them on Twitch. Also send a warning to that individual after they are banned to cease and desist. This online harassment and bullying needs to be punished.

  13. To Whom it May Concern at Twitch and whoever else decides to read this,

    While I am not someone who streams on Twitch, though have considered it, and who rarely finds myself watching streams, I still had been rather excited for the recent, now declared null, update to the TOS/Policy on Sexual Content.

    I am not someone who participates all that often in adult content, but I do believe that it should be able to exist in adult spaces for those who do wish to participate. The internet has become a hostile places for those who wish to see or…

  16. The just updated community guidelines have highlighted a massive issue in how you handle community reports. There have been many streamers who have streamed in accordance with the new guidelines around sexual content relating to art, and almost all of them have been suspended. Some have been suspended, had their suspensions lifted, and then had the bot slap it back on, all for literally working on the same piece of art. This is no less disruptive than the hate raids we had to deal with a year ago, only it's worse because these are messing with people's ability to earn…

  18. After reading the most recent updates to Twitch's guidelines, there are a lot of questions that come to mind.
    First, I feel like we need to define what can be considered artistic depictions of nudity and what can be considered ***********. As an erotic painter, I would usually refrain myself from streaming while I'm painting, but these new rules are excellent. However, we need meaningful definitions. Otherwise, various people can abuse this term.

    This is off topic, but when it comes to changes to dances, part of me disagrees with it, but another part of me wants to know if…

  19. Truth be told. I don't think it is appropriate for ANY Twitch user to be posting ANY sexualized photos period no matter how they cover themselves up. This is a gaming content site NOT pornhub and sex has no business being on a gaming site. There ARE minors that game n like watching n following other gamers and don't think they need to be exposed to garbage like that. ANY form of nudity, whether using hands or stickers to cover up genitals is considered sexual content and should be an automatic suspension or permanent banning due to ALL policy violations.…

  20. Please require an account to view a stream. Banned users are just logging out to view streams now. And please bring back removing banned followers from your list, please! I don’t know why you got rid of this feature but bring it back.
