Allow Content Label Warning Appeals
We should be able to appeal ALL warnings! GIVE US A VOICE. AND if you're not going to let us appeal ALL warnings, you should at the very least clarify that on your community guidelines page what can be appealed and what cannot. It states that we can appeal enforcements, including suspensions AND warnings. Meanwhile, i've just been told we cannot appeal label warnings.
Not only are classification labels sorta new (I hadn't even heard of it until after my warning), but I'm sure there's room for mistakes on your end, and we should be able to appeal, regardless. I do not agree with my specific warning for several reasons, but I also think for first time offenses, there should be no punishments. How is it a warning if there's consequences? It was clearly a SMALL mistake/oversight, and to be punished for that (losing emote permissions because now I have what i consider a strike on my account) is excessive.
Also, fix your "sexual themed label" description because whatever I got my warning for at the literal beginning of my stream was NOT sxual themed. If you have an issue with fully clothed, body covered attires that can be considered sxy, clarify that before handing out confusing enforcements because sxy and sxual are two different concepts.

update: they agreed it was unfair, and gave me my emote perms back. however, i'm leaving this post up bc i feel there should still be an easier way to appeal/ask about label warnings. i also feel if you're going to warn about something, be more descriptive on what you're warning about. we can't fix something that we don't know what to not do. again, in my case, i am completely confused on what was considered "sexual themed," and it would be helpful to know why i needed that specific label to begin with.
on a positive note, although there's still a lot of improvement that can be made, compared to what twitch was a couple years ago, i'd say the implementation of warnings, as well as them taking the time to look specifically at my case is a good step in the right direction.
