Why is "Zionist" a slur, but not "Crusader" Hi,
After receiving the news that the term "Zionist" is now being considered a slur on the platform, "Crusader" should also be considered as such. Zionists and Crusaders shared the same ideals, but for different religions. Zionists are rightfully killing hundreds of innocent people for land promised to them by their religion, just as the crusaders did. Why, then, are you refusing to consider the latter as a harmful term! This is insanity.8 votes -
Require all Twitchcon partners to provide drink covers at events After the events that have been described at the Blerp VIP event, Twitch should take their safety further and demand partners or anyone with a booth on the convention floor that hosts a party offsite should be REQUIRED to provide drink covers.
It is a simple solution to a problem that happens almost every single year Twitchcon takes place. This will help and support creators who may feel a bit safer knowing measures have been taken to protect them.
Is this full-proof? No. But it is a step in the right direction for Twitch to take in order to provide…

Option to remove front page Carousel Give an option in settings to remove the front-page "Carousel" or whatever it is called.
Twitch has explicitly stated that the streamers shown in this section are manually curated by Twitch staff.
I have noticed that some of these streams are very much for mature audiences only (not quite 18+, but definitely not the sort of thing you could have on your screen in public).
95% of the streamers shown in this section are near identical to streamers I have explicitly blocked.
Twitch's recommended solution to this is clicking onto the stream (of the streamer you do not want to…8 votes -
Art Category seems no longer Art. Recently, due to the introduction of NSFW content on the platform, more channels have been appearing in the ART category.
I, as many other artists in this platform, understand there's a community within NSFW artists, which is much appreciated. What should be not permitted are channels advertising themselves in the ART category, misleading people to a content not related to art.
There are more than 20 accounts, during the hours when the audience is lower, streaming nude real girls twerking and other different +18 content as well. I presume, in the higher audience hours, these accounts may increase in number.…

Actual Hentai in streams in the Art tag. Ever since the new guideline changes have been announced, a flood of streamers drawing and watching hentai on twitch has emerged. some of them not even using labels. this can be VERY harmful to minors to log onto a site with a new account only to see *. while i do agree that artists deserve more freedom to do things like anatomy and actual artistic nudity, its not a great idea to have * full of minors. much like myself. Ive also seen people playing hentai games and using sex mods (like the jenny mod for Minecraft) while on…

thumbnails With the Art category going nuts with full nudity right now, the thumbnail system, which pulls a screencapture every 5 minutes, is displaying full nudity with zero age verification. You're running perilously close to some serious legal problems if you don't find a solution to that pretty quickly.

Minimum age requirement I think that the minimum age requirement to create an account should be 18 yrs old. If you are going to start allowing women who are naked on stream, but have the camera cut off at their ****, to be able to dance provocatively. Then the minimum age to create/have an account on your site should be 18! You also need a better way to confirm someone is 18, other than just clicking a button to confirm they want to see mature content. Nothing is stopping/preventing minors from coming across this kind of content. Adult content, like nudity, shouldn't be…

Homepage for Communities of Adults and Adult Creators the tldr;
i would RATHER be able to select an option to actually ONLY see adult creators/communities on the homepage, only mature/18+ streams, and i don't want to have to click a verify thing every time i enter their chat.how about, now hear me out, how about instead of "shadowbanning" (which is what twitch is doing preventing adult themed content from appearing on the homepage), just give users an option to opt in to see mature content within their account, so that it is only advertising adult creators to other opted-in adult creators/viewers. personally, i would rather even go…

Stop pornography "link trees". Specify "direct or indirect" in rule about "linking to pornographic or sexually explicit content" Specify "direct or indirect" in rule about "linking to pornographic or sexually explicit content" because streamers are posting "link trees" listing sites where they post explicit pornography such as OnlyFans.
Make "linking to pornographic or sexually explicit content"
read "directly or indirectly linking to pornographic or sexually explicit content".

Restrict Follow button to those eligible to chat Hatebots that rely on crafted usernames with harassment messages in them can still inject themselves into a stream for harassment by using the Follow button, regardless of all other safety settings enabled. We've seen this attack on large scale before, and occasionally still pops up, often with accounts that were only just created.
Allowing us to restrict who can press the Follow button to only those eligible to chat (i.e. verified account, etc) raises the effort to harass people this way.

REMOVE THE BOTTING I have been streaming today, I got raided by a real streamer but they had BOTS in their stream and now they have come into my stream and sending me over 100 followers non stop over on my page and it will not stop. I am not happy about this and wish to have something done, I was originally at 1,804 followers and now I am all the way at 2300+ it is A JOKE. This twitch needs to prevent this from happening. I do not want fake followers or bots in my stream, throughout my whole stream and continuing…

Give voices for unjust / unfair banning or suspension Considering the blacklist of users can be shared to other channels, it is highly possible that it can be misused and lead to unjust banning or suspension by the channels that are not related to users' past offence. This is discriminatory treatments for those users, and it is unjust. An example is suspension of users due to racial or sexual slurs, while the streamers are the one who say it first or goad the users to it.
And what if from the start those users were banned or suspended unfairly, and their past "violations" are still recorded in that list?…

18+ or adult only mode, so we can have mature language, violence, nudity, sex and sexual content A mode that is only accessible to verified adults where adults can stream adult content or watch it, adult games are still video games. Adults shouldn't be thrown under the bus just because they like that content and after that one woman got banned twice for having sex live on twitch and came back in short order after raking in obscene money in the process.
Now I don't have an issue with the act itself what two consenting adults do is up to them. Its mainly the wonky enforcement.
So instead of twitch being two faced about it just make…

Implement Terms of Service Article regarding Co-Authorship Under German law (§8 UrhG), and certainly under the equivalent copyright laws of various other countries, anyone who participates in the creation of a work is entitled to co-authorship.
Theoretically, users who write in the Chat which is inserted in the stream footage can claim co-authorship of the stream.
Yes, in this case one can argue that as with a call on live television, it must be expected that one's own contribution (like the voice on television), will be broadcast live.
BUT: That streamers offer a VoD on Twitch is OPTIONAL. Also, that streamers record the stream and upload to…8 votes -
Protecting children better It has come to my attention a few days ago that there are many children in the asmr category. Many of them are "showing themselves". I would like someone from twitch staff to be far more active in this category to hopefully put as much as a stop as humanly possible. I am aware that it will always be an issue, but I would hope with a more active staff presence there that it may help immensely.

Simple way to prevent stream sniping. Essentially this idea comes in three parts.
The first: Allow the streamer to specify for themselves whether their stream can be viewed by "guests" (someone not logged into Twitch).
The second: A user who has been banned should not simply be unable to view/participate in chat. They should not be allowed to view the stream whatsoever.
The last: User banned should be IP Banned from that stream. Meaning taking 30 seconds to make a new account to simply continue with the Stream Sniping/Harassment isn't so simple to do.
Stream Sniping for us Smaller Streamers is a terrible thing. I get…

Stop banning for stuff outside the creators control I say you stop banning streamers because some random in their game said a slur that the twitch streamer was unable to stop them from saying.

Preventing "Burner" Account Creation The current Twitch account creation system offers little to no assurance of protection for creators. Enforcement actions, when taken, are reactive, rather than proactive, and require submitting reports, writing descriptions, and disrupting the stream, which is exactly what these people want. Even enabling email verification for users to chat does not prevent someone from creating multiple successive, free "burner" email accounts for the express purpose of harassing one or more users. Someone can simply create a free email account online, create a free Twitch account, use the new email to verify the account, and circumvent that particular feature. To prevent…

Let us report full length movie streams Twitch is completely broken when it comes to copyright. We already know this with the DMCA issues users have been having, playing in game music designed for the game and still getting a strike. But there's a complete other end of the spectrum... Full length movies, TV show marathons, UFC events, WWE Pay-Per-Views.
As viewers we don't have any way of reporting this stuff to Twitch, if we try to report a channel for using copywritten content Twitch then asks us if we are the copyright holder and we should submit our own DMCA claims. Problem being we're not the…
