Update to Tag Guidelines regarding Suicide Awareness/Prevention Recently Twitch updated their guidelines and with the update the tags "Suicide Prevention" & "Suicide Awareness" have been removed as tags as they go against Twitch community guidelines. I am appalled that Twitch would remove advocacy for people who are trying to promote better mental health through trying to prevent suicide. I have been a strong advocate of suicide prevention through having discussions about mental health in order to remove the stigma around it. I hope that Twitch reconsiders this decision to blanket ban any tag with the word 'suicide' in it so we can go back to utilizing this…

Stop banning innocent users who barely use their account for "botting or automated account" There are numerous users out there who have been away from Twitch for various reasons, like busy working, on holiday, forgetting their account, etc. who then return to Twitch only to discover their account has been banned for "botting or automated account".
Case and point: my boyfriend, who was banned by twitch on Jan 29 2023 for botting [which he's never ever done], unbanned, and then banned again Feb 13 for the exact same reason. They're also MY ONLY MOD, so by banning them, you've effectively made my stream more vulnerable.
Put yourselves in their shoes. What if you were…

Suspension Evasion Policy Updates An account that has been indefinitely suspended from Twitch has most likely committed a serious violation of Twitch's policies.
However, the suspended account creates another account and broadcasts, or the suspended account's audio and video are still broadcast on other streamers' channels.
Recently, there was a case where a suspended streamer purchased Twitch Con tickets with a different account and entered without permission, resulting in his colleagues being suspended for supporting “Suspension Evasion”
Currently, many streamers are violating the "Suspension Evasion" policy.
The “Suspension Evasion” policy needs to be updated in detail.
This policy affects credibility, so sanctions should be…5 votes -

Allow everyone over 18 to opt in/out of the content warning categories I have no issue with having content warnings if they are done well, but they are intrusive and not helpful if they are everywhere.
If I am happy to watch specific content, the alert should allow you to have an option to opt out of getting this warning again.
Or they could be added to the Twitch Notification settings panel, and allow opt in/out for each content type.10 votes -
Login requirements Every time I login, I am required to go to my email and give a code. Twitch claims this is a safety and privacy feature that you can not deactivate, but if twitch can’t tell I’m on the phone with that app and the only reason I’m on the internet is because the app took me there, then it’s not a safety feature it’s 2 step login you can’t turn off. How about you just do a better job. When the nurse brings you back to the doctors office, the doctor doesn’t come in and ask you who you are.…

Electroshock and Other Torture Electroshock is really macabre for channel content. It can also be dangerous. In my opinion, TOS should discourage electroshock for channel content, especially when streamers may feel pressured into these harmful activities by viewers. It's just not worth it. It definitely turns me off to hear streamers scream from the discomfort. There must be some pretty sick viewers out there to get their kicks out of causing streamers pain, especially the macabre pain of electroshock. The only way I can see to handle this is to modify TOS for the safety of the streamers. Shock collars made for animals may…

Whisper Function only used by bots? In my 13 years of being on the website I can only recall a few times I've used the whisper function, majority of which were people contacting me [as a moderator] for an unban. The hundreds, possibly thousands of other times were merely bots using the feature to spam links which I can only assume are all malicious.
Now I don't have any data on how useful the whisper function is for actual people but I would take a guess and say 80-90% of all whisper messages are likely spam/bots. I would just like to propose the removal of the…3 votes -
Add a report so viewers can report copyright infringement videos. Many streamers display videos on screen in violation of copyright.
(movies, animations, tv programs, etc.)
However, the copyright holder does not know this.

Targeted Veteran Harassment This has been going on for years, yet for some reason Twitch cant seem to block these phrases from being used to harass VETERANS who are just enjoying their time on twitch. They literally block words like GTFO which is a game on steam and many other phrases that can be used to target other people, races and genders yet something like this gets through? What if a person killed them self because of this harassment? Would twitch do something then or would they be held liable along with the person that's harassing the veteran? Much like the girl who…

Notifications on stream events Hi,
Yesterday there was a great event hosted on The Nerd Council channel featuring different black streamers in the UK, celebrating Black Brilliance. I found out via email and it is so appreciated that I was notified. However, this was only notified on the day of the event. This has caused a lot of disparaging messages from those unaware and it made the chat very tough to engage in.
May I suggest that we can try to get notifications on these events prior the day, as this can help lower the issue of hate messages, so it can provide for…

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.…

Ensure viewers see the content they want on Homepage With the update to the guidelines, users are now prevented from seeing content with safety tags on them. While this is a great step to make Twitch safer, it's not ideal for many of-age users and streamers. I propose that we could ensure viewers still receive appropriate recommendations by allowing them to consent to the tags they're comfortable with seeing on their Homepage when they're setting up their account and in settings so that they can also easily retract consent. It might also be helpful for the homepage itself to have these toggles. Tags are a wonderful way to ensure…

Pausing "recent vod", but vod starts playing for some reason. If i go to an offline channel and go to videos tab, and If the recent vod is playing I will pause it. After few seconds it will start autoplaying without me clicking on anything. It is extremely annoying when I want to look at clips or something else, this has been happening for months, and no extensions.

Ways to possibly allow artistic nudity again I understand that with AI that it became difficult to tell the difference between digital art and photography. Since that seemed to be the greatest source of issues, it seems like the best concession might be to disallow photo realistic nudity until a time when the difference between photo realistic AI art and photography can be more easily identified. Outside of that, I would say requiring explicit and age appropriate tags and making it so you have to opt in to see adult media in the setting should be enough to allow artistic nudity. If there are any other issues…

Allow Female Presenting Breasts/nipples There's nothing inherently wrong with women (including those who identify as women and female presenting people) with having breasts/nipples.
We all as humans have nipples. Just because someone is a woman, that does not mean she should be required to cover herself while men are allowed to be shirtless without them being shamed for it.
There are women with very little b r e a s t tissue as well as men with enlarged chests (for example gynecomastia or simply being overweight).
If a streamer (regardless of gender) obviously sexualizes themselves on stream (such as groping, sexually moaning, imitating or…

Change the labeling of non-sexual nudity (real and artwork) to Nudity rather than Sexual Simple nudity is not sexual in nature in real life and in artwork. It's clearly not appropriate to classify know classics as sexual - even NSFW or Mature. Example: Michalangelo's "David", etc. Even Facebook stopped censoring such works. Content creators should submit things for review when there is uncertainty and simply.
So labels Nudity, NSFW, and Classic Art should be added to the list. Sexual should remain a category if mature conduct or erogenous focus is the theme.3 votes -
Put "Attire" and "Pools, Hot Tubs & Beaches" sections on same page The following two sections of the Community Guidelines should be on the same page so streamers know when they must use the "Pools, Hot Tubs & Beaches" category:
1st Section
https://safety.twitch.tv/s/article/Community-Guidelines?language=en_US#22Attire
"Standard guidelines
We don’t permit streamers to be fully or partially nude, including exposing genitals or buttocks. We do not permit the visible outline of genitals, even when covered. Broadcasting nude or partially nude minors is always prohibited, regardless of context.
For those who present as women, we ask that you cover your nipples. We do not permit exposed underbust. Cleavage is unrestricted as long as these coverage requirements…
