2. Ban Email Clarity

   Hello!

   I know this has been raised before and promised by both Emmett and Marcus but I would like to draw some perspective to the issue.

   When a streamer receives automatic ban notification email they are given the following information. You were banned for one or more of these three reasons and this offence occurred on a Stream or VOD (aka somewhere).

   As a broadcaster when looking to be compliant with all of Twitch's terms of service and receiving a ban it is hard to know what specifically needs to be changed because the notification email amounts to you vaguely did one or more of these thing we think is in appropriate at some point in time during your entire streaming career.

   Without knowing how far back in the VODs to go (yesterday, a month, a year, 5 years?) it makes it very difficult for broadcasters to become compliant again. This result in mostly guess work in some cases and a hope that the broadcaster guessed correctly.

   This is an uncomfortable risk for small and middle sized streamers that just started to stream full time. It also feels like an unreasonable expectation Twitch is placing on broadcasters to guess what they did wrong and when.

   The email also indicated the content may be removed which is also concerning because if the content was not removed then the broadcaster has no idea what to delete to become compliant again. They also risk repeated reports for the same content which they do not know what to delete. This often results in a "just delete everything to be safe" mind set which causes the removal of good content along with the bad.

   This also creates more work on both sides. Often content creators will appeal the ban decision just in the hopes of finding out more specific information regarding the ban. Which in turn requires a Twitch staff member to review the report. The appeal could be avoided if the broadcaster saw the specific information, understood Twitch's position and accepted the ban/changed their stream to be in compliance.

   Per the stream from Marcus and talk from Emmett the solution would seem to be providing either a clip or date/timestamp of the incident along with the specific reason for the ban. Even a simple description from the staff member that issued the ban would help. This could be something as simple as the blue outfit did not meet our clothing guidelines, or the motions or actions at time were considered sexual in nature.

   Anyways I hope this perspective help bring impress the need for change in these systems.

3. blocked banned users

   I don't know if this is an issue for anyone else but recently a banned user came into a channel I moderate for. There was no ban appeal and both the creator and myself were concerned and shocked as we were sure the person in question was banned. We then looked into our ban and blocked list and there is not as many names as there was before meaning our chat safety could be at jeopardy. Twitch, please fix this.

4. Perverts abusing the underage age report button.

   Twitch I been watching some of the small streams in the sports channel and I notice something that needs to be taking care of quickly. There are a lot of perverts going to kids twitch channels and asking them to show their feet. When the kid refuse they end up getting ban. I was so confused, i was thinking how a channel could be ban for not showing their feet to perverts but i realized that if someone was to report a channel for being underage then that channel would be ban in like 2 or 3 minutes. The parts that came to the me as most shocking was that no twitch mod would ask for the age and some of the kids who get banned are not under the age of 13. So these perverts have used this to their advantage by telling kids to show their feet, and if the kids don't then the perverts use the underage report button to get rid of there channel.
   I think the way to fix this is by checking to see if the user is underage. Another thing is that every time a report a pervert for doing this the channel is never deleted.

10. Raging gone too far (Violence)

    Some content creators might be taking the "raging" aspect of gaming a little too far.
    It's one thing to be that guy that screams at his computer or is always angry or annoyed by whatever he is playing. To an extent that is tolerable.

    But some cross that line into violence.

    A lot of us have been there, the occasional slam the desk, or throw the remote. Who here doesnt remember the Summit1G punch the monitor event. But the one thing that should be enforced is that this beheaviour is not acceptable.

    There are streamers who are smashing, breaking, literally having punching dolls at their computers for whenever a "video game" makes them angry.

    I think that's where we should consider drawing the line between, "everyone gets mad once in a while" to "everyday i get upset at the game im gonna break or punch something".

    It's literally promoting free violence.

    My guess is not many care about this, but these people have real anger issues which we should help manage instead of gloryfing it as content.

11. auto authenticater

    I have seen alot of follow bots lately. It is ruining the experience for the chatters and making things very frustrating and ifficult for the streamer and there is not much the streamer or mods can do about it. My idea is after say 20 followers in a short period of time, anyone that wants to follow must reeneter a authentication code to follow for the next hour. It would make it so the follow bots wouldnt be able to spam follows and anyone who actually does want to follow would just have to simply reenter a code.

12. PubSub full documentation

    PubSub official documentation only list very few of the topics actually available.
    It makes it "officially" not so useful compared to what it can actually do.

    Basically it could replace EventSub for most of the cases, and, being far easier to implement would open possibilities for many tools without inducing huge potential server costs.

    Is there any plan to document all these topics someday ? Will it remain "unofficial" ?

    Have a good day :)

13. Banned Username Approval Change

    if a account has been banned it needs to go threw a process before they can change just like when you have a emote removed because that is ban evading and they are still able to lurk and be around we currently see this going on with accounts that have been banned by multiple streamers but just change there name and continue to troll and bother the streamers

14. Follow up on reporting misuse of discovery tags

    i feel it would be better to follow up on reports made instead of just and acknowledgement (mostly speaking from a Vtuber point as a Vtuber )
    many days the 3-4 of the top 10 spots will be non vtubers using facecam many of them have no history of using vtuber models making reports appear to do nothing so it might help to give a closure even if its we can't help

15. More clarification on guidelines in regards to Hot Tub category

    Below is what I have written to Twitch customer service but I've decided to post it here as well:

    Two days ago I was hit with a 24 hour ban from a stream where I was carving a pumpkin in bikinis (full coverage of my genitals, nipples, and buttocks), and I was streaming in the hot tubs category. While I noticed that other female streamers were able to wear even less and more revealing (micro bikinis and thongs) than I am, even doing "sexually suggestive" behaviors such as grinding on a banana floaty and sucking on popsicles, I noticed that they have an inflatable pool in the background and I don't.

    Another thing I want clarified is pole dancing on your platform. I'm a pole dancer, as in I practice pole dancing as a form of fitness and workout, as well as for me to get in touch with my femininity and spirits as a woman. In my streams for the past 7 weeks, I've been doing acrobatic pole tricks and a few choreography as a cool down to my workout. For pole fitness, I need to wear less clothing such as a bikini, sports bra/shorts, etc., to have a safer and better grip on the pole to prevent myself from being injured. For pole choreography, I wear pole heels (some may informally refer to them as stripper heels) so I can better navigate spins, drops, and extend my dancers' lines. To add on to that, I've never streamed my pole dance streams with the intention to suggest something sexually or not safe for work, and I try to emphasize that in ways I talk and behave in my pole streams, but I'm aware that some viewers do, considering I've gotten vulgar and degrading comments.

    For that, I want to ask a few questions so I can follow your community guidelines better and not get suspended or banned again:

    1. Am I only allowed to wear bikinis when there's a hot tub, pool, and beach in the background or on the screen of my stream? This question is regarded towards your "context exception" category of the community guidelines.
    2. Your guidelines have mentioned that streamers are not allowed to stream "pole dance or acrobatics with sexually suggestive framing". I want to ask what does "sexually suggestive framing: mean? Is it camera angle? Setup of the environment? The style of choreography? Can you please give me some examples or details so I can keep them in mind?
    3. I've done some research and have seen a few female streamers suspended or banned for "inappropriate attire" from wearing costumes, casual outfits, etc (not bikinis). Such as SupCaitlyn, LivStixs, and NicolePeachy to name a few. Can you provide some details as to why they were banned so I can adjust my wardrobe accordingly?
    4. I've mentioned that I've received vulgar and degrading comments, and so I want to ask what is the penalty for this behavior on Twitch, and what is the priority of safety on this platform? Since I feel like nothing was done to stop hate speech, and the only enforcement that was done were mainly targeted towards female streamers' dress code instead... To be more specific, I've witnessed ToadPHD making racist comments towards Asian people on Kyootbot's stream, as well as myself receiving sexist and racist whispers and chats from viewers and their new accounts, some repeatedly demanded me to flash nudity and to sell sex services.
    5. Last but not least, I've found this blog article written by Twitch: https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2021/05/21/lets-talk-about-hot-tub-streams/?utm_referrer=https://www.google.com/ I want to ask if I should take this article into consideration when I stream? Since I've only found out about this article during my suspension when I was doing my research on your policies and rules, and I've never agreed to acknowledge the blog posts when I created my Twitch account and started streaming. In which another question I have, ties back to my fourth question above in regards to attire where I saw that numerous female streamers were banned for wearing costumes or casual outfits: how would this: "being found to be **** by others is not against our rules, and Twitch will not take enforcement action against women, or anyone on our service, for their perceived attractiveness." (Source: blog.twitch.tv) apply to these kinds of enforcements?

    ---

    I saw an idea here where someone suggested that Twitch create another domain for adult audiences, or even just create another domain only for kids since most of the users on Twitch are young adults, similar to what Youtube have done. Other than nudity and sexual suggestive contents here, there's just too much cursing, references to weed, alcohol, gun violence, etc by that logic. I second the idea to create a sub-domain for adult or kids only content.

    Below is what I have written to Twitch customer service but I've decided to post it here as well:

    Two days ago I was hit with a 24 hour ban from a stream where I was carving a pumpkin in bikinis (full coverage of my genitals, nipples, and buttocks), and I was streaming in the hot tubs category.

16. Disable Follow on a Channel when being Follow-botted

    Hello,

    Being follow-botted in a stream is not something that is pleasant when the streamer wants authentic following.

    When this happens, there is no way to stop it. Streamers wishing to remove these fake followers must manually remove them.

    This burden can be lightened if there would be a way in the Twitch channel / live settings to block the Follow feature for some time and unblock it later.

    This feature request will help streamers block these follow-bot attacks and help them retake control of their stream.

18. dont ban people who didnt break terms of service

    I dont understand why do you ban people who did not break terms of service? I can see girls streaming pools , hot tubs and beaches every day and its okay on twitch so why do you ban affiliate streamers who want to do the same? you literally destroy someone´s career just because of people who send fake reports and then streamer gets ban and has to wait for long time . i think this is not okay. why dont u ban someone when you know that they broke terms of service? this is not fair at all .

19. SWAT safety

    This might not be within twitch's power, but perhaps some kind of SWAT safety database made available specifically for law enforcement. Just something for law enforcement to reconcile an accusation (swat worthy) against streamers, as they are easily targeted. I acknowledge this is a rare event, however this seems like a small overhead to implement

20. I need of direct support from Twitch on an issue.

    How do we as Twitch Streamers protect ourselves and our accounts from organized mass false flag reports where a group of hateful viewers communicate with each other someone like in a Discord chat and organize to all false report a stream or comment in order to cause the streamers account to be temporarily or permanently suspended ? 14 days ago I experienced such an incident and I did appeal it however feel that Twitch did not provide me enough opportunity to show the proof that I have of what occurred . I could not find any way to reach out and communicate directly with Twitch support . It is definitely unfair . I am afraid that the very same thing is going to happen again as they had previously also false reported my YouTube channel before the did it to my Twitch account . I hope you can help me with this .
