Allow all games. Remove the prohibited games list. The Twitch community is composed of people from around the world, coming from unique political backgrounds and cultures.
Prohibiting games enforces a specific view of the world to the Twitch community as to what is acceptable or not, censoring content with valuable gameplay and cultural content in the process.
As of this writing, the list of prohibited games are either due to violence, sex, or any game with the "Adults Only (AO)" ESRB rating. While this could be argued to be a good thing for kids, Twitch has already a "Mature Content" flag in its channel settings for this specific…

Have a shadowbanning system for bot accounts. It's too easy to create an account so once a user reports a bot account the staff bans them, they get a new IP and are ready to go again.
If you implement a shadowbanning system where their messages appear in chat but not to other users then that means that staff only have to ban the user once as they will not make a new account. It would be like a global ignore feature except the person being banned will not know that they have been ignored by every user. This would make the staffs job so much easier…

Report Transparency/Feedback I would love if the whole process of reporting someone came with a bit more transparency in regards to what then happens.
When reporting a user today, you're left with the message "Thank you for your report", and that's it. From that point, you have no way of knowing what happens, and you never hear back from Twitch in regards to the outcome of your report.
I would like to suggest that a bit of transparency is introduced to this process.
If reports were treated like bug reports/feature suggestions, sending us an automated e-mail with a ticket-number attached, it would…76 votes -
Add a censorship option for streamers It's not unusual for streamers to get banned for accidentaly bringing up NSFW stuff or saying something inappropriate (racism for example) during stream, soo i had an idea to add a censorship option for streamers, this would allow them to censor parts of the stream soo when someone who are sensitive to that stuff watches it they don't need to see/hear what was censored, you guys may also add an option for people to see what was censored but that is all up to you guys.

We should delete follower by ourselfs. We should delete follower by ourselfs.
Maybe someone is getting follow-botted and twitch don't delete the bots, maybe someone banned him that he cant talk in chat anymore but still follow the channel and whatches but you dont want that.
You dont wan't that this person see you live.
We should have a option where we can delete the followers in our dashboard.

Broadcaster Able remove/rescrict followers I wanted suggestion that Streamers would be able remove a follower and set it the way he could not follow you again with a time limit or permanently. last year I contacted the staff about follower who refuse to unfollow even he hated me and always came back spy and lose my followers with false facts he never got anything of it. So I wanted to suggest this if anyone has similar situations, to get ability just simply remove the follower yourself and able control if you can follow you again.

Work with Nightbot devs to so music plays while streaming but not be part of the saved recording A lot of streamers use Nightbot for music. If Twitch could work with them so that music is overlaid over streams only while they're live, but not saved, that could fix the problem with copyrighted music causing VODs to be muted. We could also export to YouTube without having to worry about copyright either. I believe this could be easier to implement than multiple audio channels. You would probably want to scan the VODs for copyrighted music anyway, but at least this way it's likely streamers won't have music in their VODs.

IP Ban from channel IP Ban makes it possible to permanently ban a user with the same IP Address, thus not allowing them to crate other account to try and troll/spam, etc.
903 votesWe apply IP bans in Chat based on users’ Moderation actions in certain cases. We don’t currently plan to publicize the logic we use because we think it would make it easier for bad actors to bypass the restriction.

Regulate Affiliate releated Casino Game Streams Recently I've noticed that new only casino streamers are coming to Twitch every day and it concerns me:
My concerns are:
- They use Twitch.tv PRIMARY as their affiliate marketing channel.
- They promise bonuses and campaigns for underage people and gambling addicts.
- These streams provide FALSE impression of casino games.
- Streamers who have deals with casinos play with unrealistic bonuses that normal people do not get.
- Some (not all) streamers are even absolute scammers who play with fake accounts.
- Streamers don´t give viewers realistic image of their affiliate or other casino connections.
- Streamers don't provide enough information about dangers of gambling…

Let users see a list of channels they're banned from chatting in. I guess it would make sense to put this somewhere in the User's settings, but it would be convenient for a user to see a list of all channels that they're banned from chatting in. Channels can currently see all the users who are banned from chatting in their channel, but what about a list of channels that have banned the user from chatting in their chats. This would also make it easier to figure out which channels to speak to and try to get unbanned from.

Make it Easier to Avoid Harrassment There needs to be a way to completely ban a user from entering your channel and seeing your profile/streams. There's been a Twitch partner that's been straight up stalking me and they do nothing about it. The most I can do is ban him from the chat. It doesn't stop him from showing up when I stream (which makes me feel extremely uncomfortable), or when I'm hosting someone.

do partnership with musicians in live shows to make live music streaming grow I switched from Spotify to twitch as my main source of music while I work, and I did that mostly because of the interaction with the musician.
Live shows are great but they offer less interaction than a live stream. Why don't merge them?
I see twitch as a huge potential for music and a way to promote it is doing a "livestream" of the concert while the public may interact
I think musicians would find twitch as a fun way to make music, for fans is an amazing way to interact with musicians and for twitch is a nice…

Simplify/Streamline the Reporting Process It takes 4 clicks, then a description to report someone in chat.
Surely there doesn't need to be 3 pages of a dozen choices each in order to sort the reports. I'm not aware of any other platform that approaches reporting this way.
In cases where a busy chat is being raided by malicious actors, you will let most of them through without being reported, in the time it takes to report one.

create a 'report' function for whispers. Whispers only has 'report harrassment' or 'report spam'. This does not cover other things that could happen like threats. Give us the ability to make a report like there is elsewhere.

Have an "other" option when reporting someone's stream For lesser offences when it's not a huge deal or if someone fell asleep on stream or if someone has been afk for multiple hours and only simply need their stream stopped and not needing a ban

Emergency Service button I think there should be a button for when streamers are having a stroke or something the viewers can click the button. This button should send a confirmation to some twitch admins and if its true they click on approve. when they click on approve a signal is going out to the streamers local emergency service and they will respond to the emergency case.
a precondition to this is that you need to know the adress of the streamers what can be done be asking for the adress when creating a new account or when you implement it that existing…

Assign a unique ID to users Assign a unique ID to users connecting to streamers (based on hardware ID if possible, IP is too easy to change) to make creeps and toxic people easier to get rid of. If that's even possible, I have no idea but it doesn't sound too hard. I don't know for sure what this means server-wise, I'd imagine you'd need some place to store these IDs and this place would get pretty cluttered if every user is assigned an ID per stream but... food for thought. Maybe have it be assigned after a message is sent? this way you wouldn't have…

Allow helmet cams for Live Streams on Motorcycles. Moto Vloggers from YouTube are making a transition into Twitch but in the TOS you arn't allowed to drive and stream. I think you should be able to have the Helmet Cam while on a motorcycle.

When you ban a partnered streamer please tell them exactly what got them banned instead of giving them the category of TOS they are breaking If you ban a partnered streamer temporarily please tell them exactly what in the vod got them banned and how to avoid doing that in the future. Ive seen how vague and ineffective the system of telling a streamer "you broke this rule" in a email is and hope Twitch improves on this flawed system
