  1. Spam Bots continue to raid the platform. My friends and I are getting spam bots that go to websites such as Dogehype. Although their services are cheap, it is still untrusted, and I want to suggest that any form of "dot com" should be a red flag.

  2. Twitch's complaints system is completely ineffective in dealing with DMCA violations.

    It's part of Twitch's rules, that Twitch considers complaints against DMCA violations only from copyright holders. But how copyright holders could reach small channels, for 5-10 viewer? Of course they can't! And any day, any night i can see a dozens of active channels that broadcast movies and TV series without any rights to do so, grossly violating their user agreements with Twitch and DMCA, but i can't even report them for this.

    If I want to complain about a violation of DMCA, I'm redirected to pages with lists…

  3. In light of features like shared ban info https://safety.twitch.tv/s/article/Safer-Together-Making-Twitch-Safer-with-Shared-Ban-Info , the suspicious user controls https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/suspicious-user-controls and users getting marked as suspicious (but not unmarked) as soon as a channel they are banned from raids another, I would like to request that you be more transparent about the effects of this terrible and poorly implemented "feature".
    When I saw the announcement about it at TwitchCon EU 2022 in Amsterdam last year, it was already immediately obvious to me, that these features, intended to curtail harassment, are more than likely a poor aid, and much more likely to be abused as a…

  4. Eu uso apenas músicas livres do Youtube, aquelas que são totalmente gratuitas e sem diretos autorais. Mas toda vez a Twich acha algo que não existe nas músicas. Será que não tem como vocês resolverem isso para eu não ficar toda vez vir e ter que contestar cada vídeo?

  5. The idea is simple: Add the same phone & email verification options to the ability to actually follow a channel, and thus also giving account age requirements to be able to follow a channel. This will allow small streamers being targeted by hate raid Bot attacks to simply prevent the bot attacks easily, instead of being driven off the platform.

  6. The current content classification rules lists 6 words as example profanity, three as "extreme vulgar language" and three as "mild profanity". Two problems: 1) not every part of the world categorizes those six words the same (some consider "cnt" to be pretty mild, some consider "" to be extreme, for example), but 2) due to this subjectivity, any profanity not listed is automatically unclear as to which category it belongs under. If I call my friend a *****, is that extreme? Is "douchebag" mild? I obviously don't think making lists of what profanity is extreme or mild…

  7. Most of the community twitch (and especially Russian-speaking) is angry about the rigid rules of the platform, we are angry that twitch can ban the channel for just 1 word, while the platform makes absolutely no difference to the context in which the word was said, perhaps the streamer was just reading the news and in the text was a word that does not like twitch, and for the fact that the streamer says this word he will be instantly banned for example for "incitement to hatred" although there was no talk of any incitement to hatred, the streamer just…

  8. Some streamers, such as 39Daph, have really offensive stream titles … Other streamers, such as Amouranth or TheDanDangler, have really offensive stream content. But there doesn’t seem to be a way to report them for offensive content or titles. It is really strange that Twitch doesn’t have offensive content as a ‘reason’ for reporting streamers.

  9. Although not strictly limited to it being for safety reasons, having an option to download Twitch Whisper chat history as a .txt file is a feature that is missing from Twitch. It would be an extremely useful tool for reporting any harassment that occurs, particularly if there has been a long history of infrequent messages. I'm sure there are other uses for this tool that are not related to harassment too; but it just seems like a feature that is available on a number of other social media platforms, but is misisng on Twitch.

  10. Si los streamers BLOQUEAMOS (no baneamos, BLOQUEAMOS) un usuario, se debería bloquear directamente su IP de nuestro canal.
    Soy sistemáticamente acosada sexualmente por un usuario puntual. Pude bloquearlo en plataformas como Discord y allí no puede volver a entrar porque el sistema bloquea su IP. En Twitch, por el contrario, se crea múltiples cuentas cada vez que transmito y me siento violentada e insegura, al punto que no quiero volver a transmitir porque me causa ansiedad. Crear cuentas en la plataforma es muy sencillo y eso está bien, pero deben brindarnos seguridad.

  11. Ear licking is part of the sexual act, and the reason most listeners are listening is, among other things, to masturbate.
    Some people say it's "very good for sleep induction," but if you look at the texts of those who are chatting enthusiastically from the beginning to the end of the stream, you know it's not true (even if it's an "unattended live stream" with just looping audio, lol).
    And if someone's stream is off-camera, there is no way to distinguish between ear-licking and blow-job sounds, and if they show an illustration of ***** enlarged to fill the screen, you…

  13. Protect streamers from false copyright claims. We don't want this to become like Youtube where anyone can just claim your content without any repercussions.

    There are hundreds of fake accounts stealing music from video games and voicing rap over it, posting it as original content and then claiming the original video game music as their own whenever it is played on a stream.

    Countering it takes entering your full name and address. No way anybody is gonna appeal those muted vods or copyright claims by submitting that info.

  14. Sponsored gambling streams should not be allowed on Twitch because of Twitch's policies and sponsored gambling streams effects.

    On the twitch safety center it states that community comes first and safety is personal. Allowing sponsored gambling steams on twitch goes against these policies by not first helping the community but rather turning a blind eye to them, and not the safety of those viewers as they are being exploited for profit.

    Not allowing sponsored gambling steams will stop exportation of viewers for profit. The website pays the content creator to gamble on their gambling platform. They do this to get…

  15. I'm so sick of fighting off 15 copy right claims and losing half the set I played for VRChat last night. I fill out all your paper work just for the sections to stay muted. It's unfair and unethical for DJs since we naturally use other peoples music for our sets. Now I have to record my sets in obs or switch to youtube. I already swapped to VRCDN as my main streamer and restream to twitch because your ad breaks are unpleasant for DJ Sets in VR.

    I know nothing will change, I just needed to vent because every…

  16. vos modérateurs devraient prendre plus au sérieux les signalements de pervers qui sont sur votre plateforme vous parlez de sécurité mais vous êtes loin d'être irréprochable en la matière vous n'êtes pas responsable de tout ce qui est diffuser sur twitch mais du moment qu'un signalement est fais vous êtes juridiquement responsable prenez la peine de prendre en compte les signalement fais contre ces pervers qui sont dangereux et qui pollue les chats avec leurs sois disant défis pour satisfaire leurs pulsion sexuelle et illégale

  17. you should allow vomiting on streams because, Authenticity and Realism: Some proponents argue that vomiting can be a genuine and realistic representation of certain activities, such as intense physical challenges, eating contests, or even certain medical conditions. Allowing vomiting on streams might enable streamers to showcase the raw and unfiltered aspects of their experiences, adding an extra layer of authenticity to their content.

    Freedom of Expression: Advocates for more permissive content policies may argue that removing the "no vomiting" rule would be an extension of freedom of expression. By allowing streamers to display a wider range of bodily experiences, Twitch…

  18. Twitch recently introduced the ‘content classified’ categories.
    I am talking about sexual education, no nudity, and I have been classified as “sexual themes”.
    It is a nightmare for me as hot tub girls are also classified as “sexual themes”
    Viewers come to my stream asking me when I will get more naked. They also tell me I shouldn’t say “sexual themes” as I am not doing hot tub.
    I understand we need to protect children but please we need to add “sexual education” classified content.
    I cannot stream with this category

  19. The new labels are redundant and invasive. you already have to click yes that you'd like to view mature content. why is it needed to click through another warning? why cannot the content labels just be displayed rather than a click through. I suggest this because my content is already labeled 18+ all the content warnings are included in 18+. so stop requiring the content warnings as click through and add it as a visual label on top of the mature content click through.

    you're just creating another barrier for viewers to actually reach out streams.

  20. For now, content labels are based on the ESRB. However, I believe that standards should be set against the countries and languages of the streams.

    For example, there are cases of violence in ESRB but not in CERO. In addition, the content is sometimes modified depending on the country in which it is released, so it is not appropriate to apply uniform standards.

    現在のところコンテンツラベルは ESRB が基準になっている。しかし, 基準は配信者の国や言語に照らし合わせて決められるべきだと思う。たとえば ESRB ではバイオレンスであっても, CERO では特に問題にならないケースがある。また, 発売されている国によって内容が修正されていることもあるので, 一律な基準の適用はふさわしくない。
