1. Lack of Clarity for Digital Avatars in new Nudity & Sexual Content Guidelines regarding Anthro Characters

   With the new Nudity & NSFW content guidelines, it has made it very unclear to a lot of people in my community, the VRChat Roleplay community, whether or not furry models and/or avatars are under the same level of scrutiny as human avatars are.

   On April 4, 2020, these rules were put into effect:

   How do the new rules about AR Avatars impact my content if I stream a virtual reality sandbox game like VRChat?
   - Our policy on Augmented Reality avatars applies to content where cameras and software are used to capture a person’s physical likeness and translate it into a digital overlay. VRChat is categorized as a game on Twitch, and in-game virtual reality models are not subject to our policy on Nudity and Attire. This content must still comply with our policy on Nudity and Sexual Content in Embedded Media and Games however, so you may not modify your game to include nudity, or make sexual elements a primary focus of your broadcast.

   Currently, the new ruling is this;
   - Augmented reality avatars that translate real-life movement into digital characters are subject to this standard

   Our community is now having to actively flag down furry models and tell them to cover up, but most of these furry models do not have any sort of issues with them as a lot of the models are from games like Warhammer, Guild Wars 2; or other games that are SFW regarding Nudity & NSFW content. Human models should cover up, yes, but are furry, anthropomorphic models held to the same standard of cover-up even if they do not have any NSFW parts about them?

3. Revert Raid Rate Limit to 3 per 30 mins

   Recently (coinciding with the Helix Raids API being released in open beta), the rate limit on "Raid Now" has been increased to 10 per 10 minutes.

   Previously this was set to 3 per 30 minutes (and was even abused by hate raiders who found a bypass for this rate limit; now, such a bypass isn't even necessary as a malicious user can do 60 raids per hour instead of just 6).

   There is no normal use case I can think of that justifies this high of a rate limit, and it is ripe for abuse: trolls can create accounts with inappropriate names and expand their reach with the new rate limit by targeting more channels at once (or bot accounts that mass-raid channels can target more streamers now).

   The "raidGo" rate limit should be decreased back to 3 per 30 minutes (while you can keep "createRaid"/"cancelRaid" at 10 per 10mins)

4. Offensive behavior of content creators

   Dear All,
   I would like to raise the subject of negative behavior of some members of the Polish Twitch community and especially target Polish creators who intentionally make hurtful comments to other creators and then use the method of covering themselves with the words "it was about GTA RP for a joke". This is unfortunately a common phenomenon among some users of the platform and poses a serious threat to the positive atmosphere on Twitch.
   Attacks and insults to other users, especially in live public statements, are unacceptable. They should be condemned and a reason to block such a user. However, some creators who make these attacks try to use their words in such a way as to avoid consequences and punishment from the Twitch corporation.
   Many of these creators use so-called "apologies" that sound similar to "it's just a joke" or "I didn't mean to offend anyone." This is a way of covering up their actions and avoiding responsibility for their words. Unfortunately, this is not just a problem with Twitch itself, but also poses a serious threat to the mental and emotional health of victims of such behavior.
   Some creators who fall victim to these attacks experience severe stress and anxiety because they know that their reactions can be used against them. In addition, those who are attacked often have nothing to do with the GTA RP game, which means that such behavior has no justification and is completely unjustified.
   Unfortunately, there is no easy solution to this problem. However, the Twitch corporation should act more consistently and firmly against users who engage in such actions, and should also introduce stricter rules regarding spoken behavior on the live stream. At the same time, the entire Twitch community should work together to promote a culture of respect and tolerance toward other users and creators.

   "Nitrozyniak" is an example of a creator who gained popularity on YouTube, but also hosted live broadcasts on the Twitch platform. His career began on YouTube, where his content was often based on hurting other creators and attacking people. His one of the most famous effects was the phrase "JD," which meant "jebac disa" and was directed at another creator.
   As his Twitch career progressed, Nitrozyniak began hosting live broadcasts in which he often attacked other users, including minors, insulting and mocking them. These behaviors led to his suspension by Riot Games, which removed him from the esports team permanently.
   Unfortunately, such negative behavior toward other users is also common on Twitch, where some creators use the method of covering themselves with the words "it was about a GTA RP game for a joke" or other excuses to avoid the consequences of their actions. However, such an approach is unacceptable and should be punished by the Twitch corporation and the community

   In conclusion, attacking other users on Twitch is, unfortunately, a phenomenon that has a growing impact, especially in the Polish community. Some creators use the method of covering themselves with the words "it was for jokes about the GTA RP game" or other excuses to avoid the consequences of their actions, which is unacceptable and poses a serious threat to the positive atmosphere on the platform.
   Therefore, I urge the Twitch corporation to act more firmly against such behavior and take steps to prevent attacks and harm to other creators. I also encourage the community to act to promote a culture of respect and tolerance towards other users and creators on the Twitch platform.

   As a user of this platform, I ask you to stop using this method and take steps to ensure a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all on Twitch.

   Dear All,
   I would like to raise the subject of negative behavior of some members of the Polish Twitch community and especially target Polish creators who intentionally make hurtful comments to other creators and then use the method of covering themselves with the words "it was about GTA RP for a joke".

6. Twitch chat bot account abuser

   There are people creating twitch chat bot account then using script or something to prevent message drop which makes their message appear the last at every message throttle even when they are not vip/mod/broadcaster. This is like a passive aggressive way of spamming messages.
   As a streamer I can't point out because I have no proof but this totally ruined my chat integrity, made the chat seems like there are always same few users wanting attention.

7. Problem: Plattformen vergeben Verifizierungsabzeichen an automatisierte Bot-Konten, die keine echten Personen sind und somit keine Mobilfunk

   Problem: Platforms give verification badges to automated bot accounts that are not real people and thus cannot sign mobile contracts. This leads to confusion and misleading of users and questions the authenticity of actually verified accounts.

   Proposed solution: Platforms should have clear and transparent policies for awarding verification badges and ensure that only real people with a mobile contract are verified. Clear distinctions should be made between real people and automated bot accounts, e.g. by using different symbols or colours for verification badges.

   Platforms should also ensure that automated bot accounts cannot be confused with verified accounts. One possibility would be to use unique names or identifiers for bot accounts that differ from real user names.

   Another important point is to educate users about the differences between real people and automated bot accounts and about the verification criteria. Platforms should inform users about how verification badges are awarded and what requirements must be met in order to be verified.

   Finally, platforms should ensure that the awarding of verification badges is regularly reviewed to ensure that they are only awarded to genuine individuals with a mobile contract. If automated bot accounts are verified despite all measures, platforms should act quickly and revoke the verification.

   in conclusion, it remains completely unclear for the user and for streamers whether a verified account is a real person, because it is already clear that bot accounts can also receive a certified badge via a mobile phone number. Thus, the entire concept is completely misguided and loses the basic principle of trust.

8. Warn new streamers of fake donation messages

   I started checking out lower viewer count streamers and noticed a trend of groups of people targeting new streamers with fake donation messages.

   e.g. Username: has donated $1500.00! :TwitchVotes:

   They use the TwitchVotes emote to make the message to make it look legitimate, as it's a Twitch icon with a checkmark. They use these donations to pressure people into doing things, everything from small pranks, to more dangerous stuff, to more sexual requests. It's surprisingly effective, as a lot of these people are non-technical or new to streaming, and feel pressured into doing these dares. I've reported these users, but they don't get banned fast enough.

   My suggestion to fix this problem would be some kind of chat banner notification that lets them know that there's no way for them to be receiving donations through twitch outside of an external account like PayPal and that they are fake, and/or detecting these messages and displaying a warning to prevent abuse.

   I know people were abusing the /me command to fake donations, and it was changed for the same reason.

10. Habitual Spam Reporters/Action Against Users Filing False Reports

    Is there a way to implement software that would recognize and suspend accounts which abuse the report feature? and those who spam report/file false reports against streamers based on their gender/race etc.? There has been an influx of streamers who are following Twitch ToS to a T, yet, due to their gender/sexual orientation/race, are being targeted, and reported for things they did not do or terms they did not violate. i.e. a streamer being reported for inappropriate attire and nudity, when she was wearing Christmas PJ's while gaming and the individual who reported her, bragged about it, told her he reported, stated he reported her online for something she did not do, then threatened to kill her, all this while their stream title that day when they reported her, was "getting sk*nks and women banned off Twitch" this streamer has a mountain of evidence showing his threats, his boasts about filing a false report and his inappropriate and gender targeted stream title, but there is no way to attach documents to an appeal (something I think would be beneficial in cases like this where certain groups are targeting streamers based on their gender) when women/POC/LGBTQA+ are targeted like this, and then have their voice stripped away, you are allowing these hate groups to thrive on Twitch and incentivizing their overuse and misuse of the report feature. Today, if someone makes a fake 911 call or abuses/misuses emergency services by filing a false report, they face repercussions, the same should be said about those who misuse the report feature to silence/harass/push out streamers based on their gender/race/sexual orientation. This streamer I'm sighting as an example has been permabanned due to attacks like this. Despite the fact it was found previously that she did not violate ToS, those reports were never removed, meaning she was instantly banned based on another streamers targeted attack. There also needs to be a way for streamers to have wrongful bans which occurred due to targeted attacks, removed. Currently there is no transparency regarding # of bans, or if/when those bans, where Twitch found the streamer did not violate ToS, are removed. I think if we cracked down on people misusing/abusing the report feature, those who knowingly file false reports, add an option to upload documents to an appeal to prove a report was a targeted attack or harassment, and/or allow streamers impacted by these targeted attacks to contact someone directly along with a more transparent system of ban count/removal of bans where the streamer was found to have done nothing wrong, that the site would be so much better and these hate groups using Twitch to attack female gamers and other protected classes, would not hold so much power over good streamers who simply want to game and contribute positivity and inclusivity to the community.

12. Let copyright (DMCA) strikes expire after 90 days

    In 2020, many streamers got hit by a wave of DMCA takedown requests for old clips and VODs which affected the streamer's standing.
    Since Twitch is currently using a three-strike rule similar to YouTube and other platforms, this put some streamers on the verge of being banned.

    My proposal is to let such takedowns "expire" after a period of e.g. 90 days, i.e. they don't affect Good Standing after that period.
    Since takedowns (regardless of whether justified or not) can appear on years-old content and even live content, this would introduce a fair solution to streamers and Twitch, and is already being successfully used on similar platforms.

13. Do not allow malicious use of safety features to target creators

    Some creators are targeted for copyright take downs and disingenuous hate speech reports because they are standing up to abusive communities or hateful ideologies. Twitch should consider how its safety and copyright features can be used maliciously and do more to protect creators who are impacted disproportionately simply because racist or sexist groups don’t like them.

14. 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.

15. Don't disable auto-publish if copyrighted content is found in unpublished VODs

    I have two main categories, Software Development and dance games. The latter have little value as VODs, so these games are excluded from auto-publishing, and I usually delete the VOD quickly after.

    However, the audio of the unpublished VOD is still scanned for copyrighted audio, and if something is found, auto-publish is disabled in general for my channel -- which is quite pointless, given that the problematic VODs were never published in the first place for exactly that reason, but it forces me to explicitly publish the development VODs by hand.

    So please ignore muted sections in unpublished VODs for the "we've disabled auto-publish for you" feature.

17. Twitch Vods uploaded on youtube by somebody else

    Hello,

    I recetnly found my twitch content (my VODs) on youtube uploaded not by me and it seems i am not the only one.

    Is there anything twitch could provide to help getting that content down? I already filed a copyright strike. One of my problems is that some of the VODs are not up on my channel anymore.

    I can also not see any option to contact the support with this question. maybe a short answer (no matter if it is "we cannot help" or "do this") would be helpfull in the FAQ.

18. Do more to combat streams that advertise phishing links

    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 find, they're new accounts with hundreds of viewers, no sub button, no followers, etc.

    Even if they get banned they just make a new account, so we need a different solution anyway.

    It's impossible to send warning messages to chat because the scammer sets chat to sub only; that shouldn't be possible for channels that don't even have a sub button.

    If the scammers couldn't use sub only, they would then use emote only, so maybe a new emote that says "SCAM" would be a good idea. It could even double as a great emote to spam when your favorite streamer starts doing sponsored gambling streams ;p

    A new streamer getting 100+ viewers should automatically be flagged as suspicious, and maybe have a dismissible warning overlay on the stream?

    On YouTube, sometimes clicking external links takes you to a page that says "Are you sure you want to leave YouTube?", a feature similar to that for non-affiliate, or suspicious-flagged channels is probably a good idea. "Are you sure you want to go to secure.oldschooI.us.leg1t-os-forums-real.lol?"

    It shouldn't be possible to create a link on text if the text is a url that doesn't match the url being linked to, e.g. https://www.twitch.tv/mystream shouldn't be allowed, but My channel is okay. People are probably less likely to double check a link if the link they're clicking already looks like a url.

    TL;DR please do... something

19. Accountability

    I would like to see more transparency when it comes to accountability to larger streamers that have influence and impact on the community. Currently there have been streamers who get a very minor temporary ban more then 3 times while streamers who are on their first offense and have subjectively committed a lesser offence receive a more harsh punishment.
