  1. Bonjour à tous,

    Je souhaite proposer la création d'une nouvelle catégorie appelée "Trophy Hunter" pour les streamers et téléspectateurs qui se passionnent pour la chasse aux trophées et la complétion à 100 % des jeux. Actuellement, pour trouver ce type de contenu, il faut parcourir une multitude de tags, ce qui rend difficile de trouver facilement les streams centraux sur les trophées et les succès.

    Pourquoi une catégorie "Trophy Hunter" ?

    1. Répondre à une demande croissante : La chasse aux trophées et aux succès est une tendance forte parmi les gamers. De nombreux joueurs présentent les défis de complétion et…

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 accounts

  5. Get rid of the max followage amount. What is the purpose of this, anyway? There's millions that stream on twitch a month, we should not be limited by this. Further, twitch needs to stop DELETING follows from people when they're near or at capacity. We should be able to follow more than 2,000 people, it's ridiculous.

    Keywords:
    Follower cap, follower capacity, max follows, max followers, 2k follow limit, follower limit, 2,000 limit, follow cap

  6. I started checking out lower viewer count streamers and noticed a trend of groups of people targeting new streamers with fake donation messages.

    e.g. Username: has donated $1500.00! :TwitchVotes:

    They use the TwitchVotes emote to make the message to make it look legitimate, as it's a Twitch icon with a checkmark. They use these donations to pressure people into doing things, everything from small pranks, to more dangerous stuff, to more sexual requests. It's surprisingly effective, as a lot of these people are non-technical or new to streaming, and feel pressured into doing these dares. I've reported these users, but…

  7. 18+ Tag or Filter

    Since there is a lot of interest in allowing nudity on Twitch with games and art, it would be best for them to implement a proper 18+ filter or tag allowing the user to clearly see. The mature warning you receive before watching the stream is mostly ignored, so adding some restrictions for users under 18 would help a lot with future streams.

  8. I saw a chatter say they feel pressured and manipulated by the Twitch "stream streak" notifications, so much so that they deliberately choose to miss occasional streams to end the streak! While this is a very niche case, there should be a setting for such users, which, if they enable it, would make stream streaks entirely disappear from the UI for them so they don't have to worry about it any more.

    I would also note that Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok are all actively facing legal pressure over "addictive design", and stream streaks are one feature which might be viewed…

  9. When a chatter sends a message containing a banned term, they are met with the following message:
    "Your message wasn't posted due to conflicts with the channel's moderation settings."

    If the chatter is a harassing chatter, they will most likely just find a way to get past the banned words filter.

    Example, in this scenario the word 'apple' is banned:
    -> Chatter: 'Man, I really love this apple!"
    <- Twitch: 'Your message wasn't posted due to conflicts with the channel's moderation settings.'
    -> Chatter (trying to get past the filter): 'Man, I really love this app1e!' (notice how app1e gets…

  10. Hey guys,

    I would love if there was a way we could ban/disable anonymous cheerer/gifter as a option for the streamers. I'm not a fan of the fact I have no control over this.

    Thank you.

  11. This feature would allow creators to allow and disallow follows to protect against spam, such as followbotting. If a user starts to get followbotted, they can turn off follows, and problem fixed. It will lead to less issues in the future going back and forth with support and stressing about whether or not you will be banned from Twitch.

  13. We should be able to Shadow ban people, just like reddit, imagine a world where trolls, haters etc gets to keep writing their nonsense in the twitch chat, not knowing they are banned and no one being able to see what they are typing:)

  14. Streamer shouts are great, but getting bombarded by a ton of streamers with shouts is a bit overwhelming. It would be great to have a filter to allow shouts from a streamer or not, instead of the take it all or leave it, all or nothing. I know many people who follow someone but might not want constant updates from shouts along with the live notifications from all but from some. It would be nice just to have a simple checkbox or toggle to allow shouts per followed streamer maybe.

  15. Would it be possible for there to be a confirmation symbol or something for when a stream's watch streak count has gone up? I have a 370-watch streak with a streamer, and I wasn't paying attention to whether my watch streak went up or not.

  16. 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…

  17. 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…

  18. We should delete follower by ourselfs.

    Maybe someone is getting follow-botted and twitch don't delete the bots, maybe someone banned him that he cant talk in chat anymore but still follow the channel and whatches but you dont want that.

    You dont wan't that this person see you live.

    We should have a option where we can delete the followers in our dashboard.

  19. I run a stream and sometimes people who are banned from chat can still harass people in chat by whispering to them. Most are not aware that they can turn whispers from people they don't follow off. This is a problem I'm seeing all over twitch after the addition of whisper. It would be more user friendly if it was on by default. Thankyou :)

  20. Giving our phone numbers to you has proven unsafe and I believe will be shown again to be unsafe again in the future with leaks or the potential to sell our personal information.

    With that being said, I have noticed that we cannot even follow some channels without giving you such a personal piece of information.

    I strongly ask for a better system that guarantees not only streamer's safety but also viewers, one where we do not have to give a piece of personal information we do not want to give you or we can't as in some cases phone…
