Twitch Staff Deliberately Neglects Enforcing Rules
When Twitch staff receives reports with clear proof that a streamer is in violation of guidelines, they ignore the reports and deliberately fail to take action. I know because I have sent reports stating the violation, linking the rule being violated, and included screenshots and video clips. Everything is made perfectly clear. Yet, hours later, the streamer is still streaming doing the same thing. And this has happened many many times over a year.
If the streamer is continuing to do it, then whatever punishment Twitch is imposing, probably none, is not enough. The streamer continues to do it because they profit from it. Their viewer count goes up and subscriptions increase. The opposite should happen. There are many things that could be done that are not that would be effective such as ending the stream when they see the violation, withholding subscription payments for that month, or banning for increasing periods of time. Increase the punishment until it stops.
Someone or some multiple staff are fully aware that the streamer is clearly in blatant violation of the rules repeatedly, and they doing nothing. Twitch staff who read these forums might be complicit, so letters need to be written that go over their heads and visits to the offices made to get to the bottom of and isolate the problem. It could be one or a few people conspiring or it could be systemic.
This is an example of reports not being acting on (Screenshot cropped to avoid giving publicity):
"Timestamp: 00:25:00 lasting for hours after
Violation of attire policy in Just Chatting category.
'For all streamers, you must cover the area extending from your hips to the bottom of your pelvis and buttocks.

This happened the day before yesterday, was reported yet continued for hours.
Then again yesterday.
Again today.
Over the past year it has happened at least hundred times.
The rules:
"Attire
For all streamers, you must cover the area extending from your hips to the bottom of your pelvis and buttocks....
...Swimwear is permitted as long as it completely covers the genitals, and those who present as women must also cover their nipples...
...Content subject to this contextual exception must be placed within the Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches category. Content that violates standard attire guidelines and is not subject to this contextual exception (e.g. wearing a bikini outside of pool or beach setting) is still violative even if placed into the Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches category...."

This was reported about an hour ago, and they are still streaming it.
Enforce the policies or change them.

Still happening 2 hours later after reporting it.
As long as they keep getting away with it and making money, they will keep doing it.

Yet again. Same as yesterday. Apparently, they got a warning yesterday, and started stream in "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches", but were unhappy with the number of viewers, so they decided to ignore the warning and rules *again* and are once again violating the attire policy in "Just Chatting"

The same streamer continues to violate the Attire policy wearing a string bikini in "Just Chatting". This is only allowed in the "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches" category. And the lack of action to enforce the rules stop it on the part of Twitch staff obviously continues.
It is unfair that everyone else is following the rules streaming in "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches" while this person gets to break them in "Just Chatting" getting exposure other do not. That is exactly their intention.
