  1. No safety or removal of phishing streams has occurred for communities, at all. Phishing streams are constantly online, or brought back online minutes after a moderator removes them.

    Designate community or game-level moderators that can submit expedited stream take-downs of streams that are fake.

    For example, the Old School Runescape category has a consistently #1 spot viewbotted account that is rebroadcasting streams of popular streamers in this category, claiming they "are quitting" and "click links in bio to read more."

    These streams are phishing attempts and have legitimately been stealing CC information from fooled users for years, and nothing has…

  3. In general, don't recommend sexually explicit streams to people - but when you do, don't play their stream when users are redirected after reporting and blocking them.

  4. My Channel was just raided by a mass of bots that followed, Ugh! Please Require any prospective Bot owners/operators to list ALL info they gather and collect, where is being stored by a Reputable Company, and Limit the functionality of the bots in general. Require a extensive detailed description of of the Purpose of any bots, what API's they use, and a TIME limit that the bot can be on Twitch one month, 2,etc. Not acceptable would be for example..."This is a College project" sort of response. Require the bot owners to have a video live chat with a Twitch…

  5. Hello..

    I have a specific problem with a "Kick Back Dreamer by Chill Mode" showing up as copyright flags on my vods.

    This song is NOT in my lofi music playlists, yet it's flag has popped up 3 times on two streams recently all false, even trying to claim 2 different songs in same vod.

    For now, I WILL appeal the flag on this song "Kick Back Dreamer by Chill Mode" every time it shows up because I know it is a false flag. I make great efforts to mix and curate music for my streams to be as safe…

  6. Having hook-nosed goblin bankers is blatant anti-Jew propaganda, it has always been. This new game only pushes this even further. I feel like antisemetism is once again on the rise, and having these caricatures walking around in a game is seriously concerning.

    I feel like even if this wasn’t intentional, it still should not have happened, especially after already have been warned. They could have at least changed the hook noses.

    Now we’re allowing the streaming of a game with these undertones, and keeping a known hateful person’s work in the spotlight.

  7. Hire proffessional coders to fix the botting issue. There should be a bot in everyones chat that can detect a hate raid or bot attack and stop it. Streamers shouldnt have to rely on sery_bot and commanderroot to feel safe especially when, alot of the time, unfortunaley those are not enough. Twitch itself needs to step up and do something about the serious bot problem on their website, not send their users automated messages when they try to report the problem.

  9. Just wanted to bring attention to how many pre recorded scam streams are happening at "Pools, Hot Tubs & Beaches" IRL streams. I went through and saw 7 of the same exact stream across 7 different "Users" all have a scam link attached to the stream title and are all probably stolen and pre recorded streams. This leaves uninformed users vulnerable to falling for these traps.

  11. you need to have more selections on the report tool not less! the ones that u have to choose to progress have zero relevance to the issues we face. someone pretending to be someone else, scamming and more and there is nothing u can click. i dont think u have improved it at all. in fact u have made it impossble to report ban evaders and more! bring back the choices for goodness sake.

  12. Well basically i ran into something recently with a streamer and i noticed twitch team doesn't look at reports for stuff like that apparently but Xbox does this why not have a group of select people be like twitch mods for twitch itself to look into stuff like making sexual comments to minors letting minors ban evade and stuff like this channel i ran into as i mention in start the streamer itself makes creepy comments to the minors and lets minors talk trash to mods itself Also lets the minors ban evade and refuses report the minors that said…

  13. The game itself should be re-evaluated, as it now contains options to censor blood, nudity, and animations in order to comply with Twitch's community guidelines (covering models, changing blood to cherry blossoms, and completely blurring the screen when animations are triggered). Originally, the game was put on the ban list in 2016 due to it not having these features. But now that the game has been developed more, these censor features exist and were made specifically so they would comply with community standards for video/streaming platforms. In addition, Twitch can make it a requirement that all censor features must be…

  14. Or give streamers and mods an option to just ban someone from chat, or ban them from watching the stream completely.

    This would be beneficial for multiple reasons, for example it would help battle stream sniping, instances of stalking, harrassment, etc.

    this has been voiced on twitter many times, time for it to be voiced here too

  15. The Oldschool Runescape section on twitch has rampant issues with phishing streams. The scammer downloads a vod of a popular streamer, creates a new account, and streams with titles such as "My Final OSRS stream", and instructs viewers to visit the runescape forum link below the stream to read about it. The link is a phishing page, obviously.

    They do some other scams sometimes as well, e.g. "Click the link below to activate your double xp buff", while restreaming a dev Q&A vod.

    I'm sure it's a problem in some other communities as well.

    The streams are extremely easy to…

  16. Surely you guys have seen what has recently happened with the "ASMR Category" with two big streamers. Now I will say good job on banning them. But I think those bans should uphold and remain permanent to further back up the message that states. "That type of content is not allowed on twitch"

    It's too suggestive the line was pushed too far.

    Unless you guys want to make an 18+ category or a whole new site altogether adhering to that. Either way some sort of enforcement needs to be put into place. With a CLEAR understanding of what is /…

  17. Twitch should offer all users the option to print a QR code they can post in the window of their home that when scanned reads "THIS HOUSE IS OCCUPIED BY TWITCH STREAMER [Link to their specific account] - LAW ENFORCEMENT, PLEASE VERIFY WHETHER THIS ACCOUNT IS STREAMING BEFORE ENTERING THE HOME"

    This would 1) potentially reduce the incidence of injuries sustained through swatting, and 2) be a responsible and easy way for Twitch to show they want to give their users the ability to protect themselves while streaming.

  18. Not sure I am putting this in the proper place, but figured I would give it a shot. In Dec. 2021 an emote I had been using since 2018 was suddenly determined to be obscene. It was a baby **** emoji ( I will include a link to it), nothing obscene at all. Anyway, now I can not upload Follower Emoted until December 2023 because my instant uploads were denied because of the supposedly obscene emote. I was told there is no appeals process or manual review or anything of that nature. 1. Two years is a very long punishment…

  19. When I visit appeals.twitch.tv I am no longer logged in from the main page twitch.tv. I think it's annoying to go through 2FA again only because I visited a subdomain. Is this intended?

  20. The top streamers on twitch, XQC, Hassan, Asmongold, etc... are making more money in a year than most people will ever see in a lifetime. Yet, you might notice tuning into there streams, literally all they do is restream other peoples content, violating copyright law, and more importantly stealing hundreds of thousands of hours of other peoples hard work, solely for profit. This patently disgusting, the fact that twitch has become a place for inconsiderate thieves to grow fat, and rich off the labour of others is repulsive, and blatantly illegal. The largest most wealthy people on your website should…
