  1. I have suffered wickedness and cyberbullying on Twitch, some that have marked me very deeply and there is a streamer who makes me stalked by his users, I would like that as in other social networks users who are banned from my private profile no longer read the my messages in other people's chats so I can feel safe elsewhere.
    Because now if I ban a person from my profile I don't see him but he continues to see me in chat elsewhere and I would like him to never see anything of me again, I hope Twitch implements this.

  3. Seeing anything related to suicidal ideation is problematic for many individuals with mental health issues. There are a number of usernames with some form of suicidal reference in the name.

    This was used by some people shortly after the hate raid incident to target veterans with mental health issues, such as myself. Now, I continue to see usernames like this, whether targeted or not, and it is not something that should be allowed.

  4. Right now there isn't an option to report an account for impersonating another user. It's really easy for someone to make an account with a similar name by substituting an uppercase I for a lowercase L (I vs l) or with any other kind of letter/number substitution.

    There should be an option to easily report an account for impersonating someone else.

  5. Since Body Painting has been established as a valid category on the platform, there has been a noticeable lack of encouragement from Twitch in creating a healthy community around it. This lack of support is further emphasized by the massive push back and public harassment of Body Painters online, including but not limited to: Organized hate raids by other streamers, Streamers sexualizing body painters on their own live streams, Public groups that organize mass reports on body painters, Lack of response by Twitch to counter the culture of continued degradation of women through objectification by viewers (including inappropriate usernames).

    Twitch responded

    Hey guys!

    There were some discussions that weren’t super applicable to feedback and I have gone ahead and removed them.

    We super appreciate the feedback and want to keep hearing your ideas. Please just keep it focused on bodypainting/body art community and feedback around that, over feedback on specific channels/users.

    If you have anyone who you are concerned about on Twitch or someone who you are worried about how they are acting on Twitch always feel empowered to report them so our team can further investigate the situation.

  6. So I came to this conclusion when I saw the recent event that has taken place in a streamer stream that was called "Nadia" she exposed a user first and last name throughout the stream and even if she was banned for that. Not questioning the sentence whatsoever I think that this type of information should absolutely not be shown to any user of this platform and that, even to the person we donated to. Because even if twitch do explain and incite people to take legal action if doxing happens to them, i think that is not enough because…

  7. I recommend Twitch makes all the big streamers sign a contract that says if they ever get caught using cheating software then they must forfeit and return all profits made from streaming on Twitch. (Many cheaters are making millions on Twitch and it is unfair to the rest of us.)

  8. "As we said above, suspension lengths vary according to important contextual cues, which may not always be obvious externally — but the way we evaluate those suspensions is always consistent for all users."

    If these are, indeed, consistently applied contextual clues, there's no reason why these clues shouldn't be publicly posted and / or visible.

    Put another way, if these rules are to be totally transparent in their application, no part of them should be hidden. If they cannot be made public, then the word / phrase / implication of "transparency" should be struck from the Community Guidelines lexicon.

    Sorry…

  9. There is a big problem with Twitch's current "Restrict/Monitor" function.

    As of right now, if you start monitoring or restricting a user (for example, a ban evader), for moderators and the broadcaster, EVERY message that user sends is highlighted, making it stand out from every other message. While I understand that this highlight function has it's uses, it is inherently harmful if users are consistently making new accounts to ban evade. This system is doing the opposite of what we need if their messages are standing out to our moderators and broadcasters, as it makes it HARDER to ignore the…

  10. A potential new safety feature for Twitch could be a mandatory cooldown period between streams for new and/or unverified accounts. This cooldown period would require a user to wait a certain amount of time, such as 24-48 hours, before they are able to stream again.

    This feature is needed because it can help prevent malicious or harmful content from being streamed on the platform. It's not uncommon for new or unverified accounts to be created for the sole purpose of trolling, harassing, or otherwise violating Twitch's community guidelines. By implementing a mandatory cooldown period, Twitch can give its moderation team…

  11. Usual Spam Bots, the last in time "Bigfollow"

    Use anti-bot system with algorythms to detect these kind of bot, who the the same sentence with variations, characters variations, space variations, etc...

    Twitch detection should learn and create auto-detection for them :
    a user enter a channel, post one message and leave, enter another channel, post the same message (or same message with variation) and leave..

    the last spam bot is easy to detect, because they use the same keyword in their sentence variations : Bigfollow

    Twitch please use an auto-detection, and ban them.
    And allow users to the new words…

  13. There's streamers currently suffering from attacks from accounts impersonating them. The usernames these attackers have contains words like "Prostidute", "Perverted", "Suicide", "Naked", and more explicit terms next to the Streamers' names. These streamers have had no chance to get support from Twitch.

    Saying "ignore them" or "report them" does NOT work, because the accounts keep appearing with new, more outrageous, names. Streamers report more than 50 accounts appearing. This type of harrassment can get someone killed, there needs to be serious punishment to the IP owner.

  14. Stop letting kids masturbate to half naked women just because they are blocked from **** sites doesn’t mean they can com over to twitch and and do the same thing. You even had girls having sex in twitch. And please promote more African American heterosexual Males like myself on your platform. I’m a fun care free easy going guy that just like to chill and play games. I thought that was the purpose of twitch. I guess the true purpose is to cater to the top 1% because they are the ones that make you money. You don’t care about…

  15. Remove discrimination from the rules. You claim to be anti discrimination, but your own rules discriminate against people with developed breasts. Simply rate things as inappropriate on a case by case basis, without using "female", "AFAB", "breasts" or "feminine" as a reason to enforce a rule. See a anyone of any gender touching any erogenous zone, or worse, genitals in an inappropriate way? Punish them regardless of who they are. (The efficacy of each erogenous zone is individual, and has nothing to do with birth sex, estrogen/testosterone levels, or any other gender or sex factors, meaning there are cisgender males…

  18. 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 /…

  19. At what point do you compare your own TOS and Conduct rules against what shows up on your main page of streamers? You let string bikinis, but some random thing gets reported by some troll and it's a ban. Then they wait months to get a human to respond as vague as possible because you don't want to be legally responsible for specificity. You created an 18+ option for a reason. Be consistent or let it go. You're tanking as a platform because of your inconsistency. Read the writing on the walls. Time to go back to basics, when your…

  20. Hello,

    Would it be possible to ban people from the channel?
    Banning them from a chat is good but from a channel is better.

    For the streamhack in particular, let me explain:

    Many games are streamed and suffer from the toxicity of streamhackers.
    We absolutely need to be able to prevent them from accessing the channel's video stream.
    This spoils the gameplay for streamers and note that the streamhack is akin to cheating. (Roleplay and competitive games for example)

    Does Twitch condone cheating? I don't think so, so it would be good to set up
    this system of BAN from…
