Whisper Function only used by bots? In my 13 years of being on the website I can only recall a few times I've used the whisper function, majority of which were people contacting me [as a moderator] for an unban. The hundreds, possibly thousands of other times were merely bots using the feature to spam links which I can only assume are all malicious.
Now I don't have any data on how useful the whisper function is for actual people but I would take a guess and say 80-90% of all whisper messages are likely spam/bots. I would just like to propose the removal of the…3 votes -

Extend length for the reason text of a ban Please extend the possible maximum length for the reason text of a channel ban.
Currently, the maximum length the reason text of a ban can have is limited by the length of a chat message (500 characters), and can be calculated as follows: 500-6-<length of username>
It is possible to ban people through an API integration, but I have not explored its limitations. This is typically not how you ban a user from a channel.
I have recently banned someone, and I ran out of space listing all the reasons for which to ban them. I really want them to…3 votes -
Ban OF-streamers who only show their bodies and are trying to gain OF followers (obviously) Its really sad that Twitch is not doing anything against OF streamers breaking their guidelines. And then they are also banning people who are not even clearly breaking the guidelines in 4-10 mins. What twitch is saying with this: "yea we only care for the money".
Would really appreciate it if yall would give a statement on that (USA/DE) because lots of people are wondering why Twitch is acting in certain ways over the past 2 years!

Add "simulcast violation" to report list As the simulcast policy has changed since the last TwitchCon, please add "simulcast violation" to the list for efficient reporting.
Even when the policy was changed after August last year, many affiliate/partner streamers continued to simulcast in violation of the contract.
Even when all streamers were banned from simulcasting after last June, many streamers continued simulcasting without prior permission or in violation of their affiliate/partner agreements.
To date, there have been no cases of streamers being sanctioned for simulcasting.
So it seems that many streamers are abusing the policy and simulcasting.
Even now, many streamers are simulcasting in violation of…3 votes -
Add “Simulcast Violation” to the list for efficient reporting. As the number of streamers who conduct simulcasting (multi streams) without prior permission or in violation of affiliate/partner agreements increases,

Backup Codes Hello! I noticed that on Twitch, there are no backup codes that, in my opinion, should exist as an alternative means of access in case you lose your phone number and don't have the Authenticator app. This would solve many technical issues that may arise.

follow bots This week i got follow botted - 170 bots on my channel. I took them all off but it took me a little bit to go through everything. Wish there was a fail-safe - unless someone is gifting subscriptions, no followers should be able to be purchased and put on someones account. This would also make it so creators cant buy followers that are fake. makes your ratings go down when you have a large number of followers but no one watching/ interacting and is not good for the channel

Punish Simulcasting (multistream) streamers As twitch terms and conditions changed in June, all streamers cannot do Simulcasting (multistream). However, not only revenue-generating streamers, but also many streamers are Simulcasting (multistream) without prior permission from Twitch.
Why aren't streamers who are simulcasting (multistream) in violation of the terms and conditions punished?
We ask that streamers who are generating revenue be immediately terminated and temporarily suspended for violating the terms and conditions.
Also, please add Simulcasting (multistream) to your reporting categories.
Change the terms again to allow Simulcasting (multistream) only for regular streamers and prohibit Simulcasting (multistream) for monetized streamers.3 votes -
whisper scambots When whisper scambots [click link to lose steam credentials] are reported and confirmed to be scambots, twitch should contact the link site registrar and report abuse to stop new bot accounts continuing to spam that site.
Also whispers should have reported & confirmed links filtered so the whisper isn't delivered.
Twitch should also report to google.3 votes -
Let musicians provide proof exempting them from muted VODs/copyright strikes for their own content! I play my own band's music and keep getting my VODs muted and automatically stopped publishing my VODs. My music category streams when I play covers are set not to publish per DMCA guidelines. But I purposely premiere new songs, lyric videos, and use our songs as intro/outro on gaming streams so they can exist in the VODs.

Broken report button and dangerous Ad The safety button on the dashboard just logs you out without warning, and when I sign back in, it treats computer I'm using like a new device requireing extra authentifications. It's the worst time for an inconvienience like that when your trying to deal with a major safety issue.
Speaking of which, there's a cocacola advertisement currently running that isn increadibly louder than all the other ads you run, and it hurt my ears a lot3 votesHi there,
Could you please clarify what safety button you're referring to? Is it the Safety Center link towards the bottom of the Creator Dashboard menu? If so, I wasn't able to replicate the issue with it signing me out, when clicking it. Furthermore, I was curious to know what you are trying to access, to see if I can help clarify. Thank you!

Protest and demand for improvement against ban attacks on distributors using URL comments on obscene image thumbnail clips A few days ago, a prominent streamer commented on the URL of a clip with an obscene image as a thumbnail on his channel, which caused a large number of obscene thumbnails to appear in the chat window. This was a case in which the streamer was banned by Twitch management while dealing with the BOT.
The streamer is a normal, healthy streamer and has no malicious intent.
The biggest problem is that the management officially counted the streamer for the violation afterwards.
I strongly condemn the management for this.
This is a very childish, poor, and inconsiderate decision that…3 votes -
Remove the Report Button. Does nothing anyway. Remove the report button.
Why not? It's just a 'feel good' button. I keep reporting phishing scammers, cheaters, and use of viewbots.
Does Twitch do anything to stop them? Nope. I've flagged 1000 phishing(Not exaggeration) imposter accounts. They're still going.
I've flagged for cheating, with the specific rule, with the link to the said rule that the cheater is breaking and nothing happens.
The phishing scammers make a new one as one is taken down. No real way to prevent this menace.
The viewbots are quite obvious with looped video streams advertising a website or is to another phishing scam.

Stop the ability to make bots Stop allowing all these channel bots to be created by users. They offer no viewer count and do nothing for channel growth. Its bad enough you can get banned for using follower and viewer bot services but these bots never get banned for being A BOT.

Make better decisions when banning Make better decisions when you ban people and look more into it, you always ban my favorite streamers over the stupidest things. They could say one cuss word and you will ban them. Twitch is supposed to be an entertainment platform for all ages and for us older people we are more entertained by someone close to our age, we can relate better and we can engage better but when your banning streamers we watch over the little things, like their adult humor, we tend to get annoyed with your platform. My idea is to make better decisions when you…

Twitch's report tool for ordinary users in DMCA violation cases Twitch's complaints system is completely ineffective in dealing with DMCA violations.
It's part of Twitch's rules, that Twitch considers complaints against DMCA violations only from copyright holders. But how copyright holders could reach small channels, for 5-10 viewer? Of course they can't! And any day, any night i can see a dozens of active channels that broadcast movies and TV series without any rights to do so, grossly violating their user agreements with Twitch and DMCA, but i can't even report them for this.
If I want to complain about a violation of DMCA, I'm redirected to pages with lists…

New "Profanity/Vulgarity" content classification rules are too vague and subjective The current content classification rules lists 6 words as example profanity, three as "extreme vulgar language" and three as "mild profanity". Two problems: 1) not every part of the world categorizes those six words the same (some consider "cnt" to be pretty mild, some consider "" to be extreme, for example), but 2) due to this subjectivity, any profanity not listed is automatically unclear as to which category it belongs under. If I call my friend a *****, is that extreme? Is "douchebag" mild? I obviously don't think making lists of what profanity is extreme or mild…

Report streamers for offensive content Some streamers, such as 39Daph, have really offensive stream titles … Other streamers, such as Amouranth or TheDanDangler, have really offensive stream content. But there doesn’t seem to be a way to report them for offensive content or titles. It is really strange that Twitch doesn’t have offensive content as a ‘reason’ for reporting streamers.
