Addressing Double Standards in Content Moderation I wanted to bring to your attention an ongoing concern within the community regarding what seems to be a double standard in content moderation, specifically the disparity between the treatment of IRL streamers—particularly in categories like hot tubs and pools—and VTubers.
It’s frustrating to see that IRL streamers, often wearing revealing outfits like bikinis, are allowed to stream with minimal restrictions. Yet, VTubers, who use animated avatars, face stricter guidelines and even risk bans for things as minor as showing their hips—something that seems inconsistent, considering the much more lenient approach toward live-action content in similar categories.
This discrepancy sends…

Shared Unbans One of our moderators accidentally banned the wrong person with a misclick. He immediately corrected this mistake, but the user remains banned in all channels that use the Shared Ban feature, which is a lot of manual cleanup (plus the user is marked as Suspicious now, because he is banned in a lot of other channels).
It would be nice to have a way to undo sharing a ban.

Feedback on the new TOS Dear Twitch Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express deep concerns and respectfully request a reconsideration of the recent Terms of Service (TOS) update, specifically pertaining to sexual content, on the Twitch platform.
While we acknowledge the necessity of maintaining a safe and inclusive environment for all users, the latest TOS adjustments appear to have inadvertently created a significant negative impact, especially among the younger audience. There is a growing prevalence of individuals disregarding the guidelines, promoting explicit content, including links to adult services like OnlyFans, and displaying graphic sexual imagery during live streams.…

If you like po*n, you will love Twitch.com With this latest TOS update, the only remaining difference between Twitch and Chaturbate is the fact that on the second you can masturbate on cam, which at this rate you will allow in a matter of months.
A platform that fails to enforce its own rules is a failing platform, I honestly believe that within 2-3 years most serious streamers will have already moved to Kick or YouTube, because there will no longer be space on this platform for their content.
Over time, Twitch will become a site intended for *********** and will remain only, as it already is now,…12 votes -
My video was stolen and used to file DMCA claims against me. Stop letting people who don't own the audio file a DMCA claim. I played one of my own YouTube videos on my stream and it got muted because someone reuploaded the video to YouTube and Spotify SEVEN YEARS LATER and claims to own it.
I AM LITERALLY IN THE VIDEO. IT IS VERY EASY TO TELL I AM THE PERSON WHO MADE IT. I believe these false claims are a form of harassment against me, as many women & trans people on Twitch face similar types of aggression.
My VODs get unpublished every time I stream now because someone has been given permission by Twitch to claim they own MY work!!

Mature audience only & blur screen options for all clips, especially featured clips I notice for streams there are options to classify the stream 'for a mature audience only'. I have made clips and featured clips from my live stream, which are for a mature audience only. However, for clips, especially 'featured clips' there is no option to classify the clips, featured or not.
When will the 'mature audience only' option be available for clips and a blur screen option for all clips exhibiting adult only content?
Thanks!

12 votesHi, we're working on having the content classification labels apply to clips, based on the stream; I'll update this post, as soon as we have more information. Thanks!

Do Not Show my Channel to any user I have blocked on the directory. This should be a simple feature to add, if I blocked a user, make it so that user will not see my channel listed on the directory.
You already have it so a banned user will not see chat, expand this to also cover the directories, so they can't see your channel even being listed on that user account.

create safe list and ban list for embeds Give streamers the option to have a safe list for having streams embedded on outside sites and give streamers the option to disable sites from embedding them.
This could prevent people from making malicious sites to embed them without the streamers knowledge
this would also help reduce the amount of people broadcasting illegal content and hosting it on illegal sites
you could also then give streamers the option to unlock embedding as a feature after a streamers account is within good standing. (ie. when emotes are edible for instant approval or when a streamer reaches affiliate)

turning off host feature and HOST 2FA please allow streamers to turn off the host option.
we can block raids, but we cannot stop channels from hosting us, which is now being exploited and bad actors (some evading bans) are now hosting accounts with a malicious intent.,in addition to this
i would also like to have the option to ONLY ENABLE HOSTS/ AND RAIDS FROM USERS WHO HAVE PHONE NUMBERS VERIFICATION added to their accounts12 votes -
The report button on channel pages should work (instead of saying error while submitting report) Since a bugreport page does not seem to exist and the general category is under maintenance: Your report button is completely broken. I cannot report channels used for hate-raids against LGBTQIA+ people (tried Chrome and Firefox, Firefox without any Twitch extensions). It says "Sorry, a network error ocured when submitting your report. Please try again later". The issue has persisted for at least a day now and I can watch streams without any issues indicating that I do in fact have internet.
Please fix the report button and take action against accounts used for hate-raids.

Random Follows and Unfollows attacks. Lately, I've been getting a ton of "follows" and "unfollows" from fake accounts that run streams spams or advertising some random malware or whatever it is that they're promoting. It's been consistent every day about 2-3 times a day. Visiting their page they all run the same video feed. And has the same text link on their screen to some external link.
Usually has some "manolia" name in their twitch name. But now starting to notice a wave of different random naming conventions instead.
I suggest that you guys create some sort of detection software that checks for massive follows…

Chat tools to include 3rd party chat moderation bots Similar to how discord does it however perhaps in more general terms rather than specific bot recommendations.

Make it clear what the ban lengths are for various offenses committed by streamers The enforcement of Twitch's TOS is wildly inconsistent. As it stands, streamers who are banned for showing their genitalia on Twitch tend to be banned for a few days at most, often returning later the same week to increased attention and more success, and in many cases repeatedly violating the TOS to minimal punishment, while other streamers have been permanently banned for objectively less severe offenses. My proposal is a consistently enforced, publicly available list of offenses and their ban durations. This will stop Twitch from playing favorites with popular streamers, and will protect smaller streamers from unfair punishment simply…

viewers vs bots Hey! Just an idea but it would be nice when you go to your "users in chat" section and filter out which one is a bot account vs real viewers.
I know that would probably be difficult to filter, however someone could build some data to find all bot accounts and have them filtered like you would with moderation in chat.
that would make things easier to know whos who and be able to know who is actually viewing the stream vs who isn't.

Pepe the Frog is now recognized as a hate symbol I feel like having Pepe the Frog as a chat emote isn't so great now that it's an alt-right symbol, so if you're really averse to removing it, maybe send out a message to Twitch users explaining why it's there because I think to some people that could feel kind of partisan? Thanks

Banning words I've seen that Twitch has been banning of words like 'simp', 'incel', and 'virgin'. These are mostly terms used towards males, yet horrifically offensive terms like "bitch" , "pussy" , "cunt" which are used to belittle and demean Women are not? It is used to belittle and offend Men, and sometimes women and put them down, in the most horrific way and has been used for years as a sexist term to say that someone is less of a person or 'inferior because they are a women' so they call them either a "bitch" , a "pussy" or a "cunt".…

Showing body parts(******, see through clothing that is revealing. Streamers have been getting away with little to no punishment for things that aren't even allowed on this platform when others (male and female) streamers have been punished more severely for less. We need to make it fair for everyone no one should get special treatment no matter how big their streams or who they are.
Male, female, and all genders should be dealt with equally no one should violate guidelines and reveal naked body parts and get a slap on the wrist, some people can take that as ****** harassment.

chest covered policy why some men can stay at stream without shirt , and women are being punished for they cleavage and show the body, and men can go shirtless live no matter what kind of body shapes they have (yes, there are men who appear to have breasts)?

or please let us know why female body can be considered sexualized and not a male body

Transparency and consistency with penalties, as well as an open source of communication Over a year ago at Twitchcon 2019, twitch discussed and spoke about how when people are suspended or banned, that they would put in methods, procedures and other resources so that if someone did indeed get suspended from twitch, then they would be informed of their misdoings that led to them being punished.
Its been over a year, and while we are living in the 'rona era, that still doesn't excused that even before it existed, there was barely any signs that any of these were put into place. The only thing we got was a council that had controversy…
