  1. Given all of the recent issues with streamers experiencing these kinds of attacks perhaps a step by step outline of how best to deal with these attacks.

    Ie:
    1. Use moderator view
    2. Emote only mode
    3. Clear chat
    4. Add term(s) to automod
    5. Ban accounts involved with the attack
    6. Report were applicable
    7. Return to normal chat

    Repeat as needed. (Or something better)

  2. I have been watching the some of the most disgusting content that I have ever seen being broadcast on your platform and you condoning this without any interference has made me come to decision to stop supporting this platform anymore. If Asmongold ever starts streaming even simultaneously on any other platform I will delete all of my Twitch applications and never come back here and I have also decided to stop any subscriptions from hence fore to any of the channels in Twitch. And I will change all my other streaming possibilities to any other platform than yours.

  3. The safety settings as of now only affect the chat, not the channel itself. Leaving the streamer vulnerable to "Follow Raids" by bot accounts. Here are some safety options that could be implemented to prevent this:
    [All examples are toggable options]

    1- Account Verification: Non-Verified accounts (via e-mail or phone) aren't able to follow the channel.

    2- Account Age: Accounts created before X days aren't able to follow the channel.

    Meassures have to be taken for the safety of twitch streamers, these options will help every user in this platform. It's very demoralizing to be streaming and out of the…

  4. Hasan has regularly called for violence against political opponents, and continues to violate Twitch Terms of Service. However, Hasan is treated with only the gentlest suspensions, often organized around times when he will not be streaming. It is well past time to permanently ban Hasanabi, and I guarantee I will not donate a single cent to any creator through Twitch, nor subscribe to any creators, until this horrendous mouthpiece for the violent left is permanently and irreversibly banned for good.

  5. Stop the increase of antisemitic hate, and attacks on the platform. It's just really sickening to see and it's driving advertisers away in droves. Twitch ad payouts are the lowest they have ever been, even huge streamers are not seeing much in terms of ad revenue payout.

    The CEO Dan Clancy, openly allows the double standards in place. Certain streamers can openly glaze, stream, and talk up terrorist propaganda, however other streamers are banned for things tiny in comparison. Honestly, at this point, Twitch, the CEO seem complicit together at this point, and for the average person like me, it's…

  6. Allowing users to complete the Affiliate Application by using their Paypal or another method that doesn't include sharing their SSN would be a major step privacy wise.

    If someone's SSN gets stolen, it can ruin them financially for years to come or even for life. This is why we are told never to share that number. Having a work around where we can file the taxes ourselves without having to give out our SSN to Twitch or Amazon would be beneficial to all involved and would help reduce the chances of people getting their SSN stolen.

  8. This is not a suspension appeal.

    I have been using this platform for over a decade now, and saw that a large streamer got banned recently for their commentary on stream. I want to point out how the current suspension flow is heavily lopsided toward playing it safe, and in doing so, hurts the platform by neglecting context and the way real users behave.

    As a major platform, it makes sense to play it safe to protect public image. However, the current flow used to reach this recent decision is actually hurting Twitch's public image due to neglecting the majority…

  9. I think streamers should be able to restrict certain tiers of subscriptions from being gifted. Many streamers I know restrict certain information to their higher tier subscribers and have certain rewards and conversations that are meant to be for people who want to support them more than a Tier 1 or Prime sub. I've personally seen a few instances of bad actors being gifted a Tier 3 subscription and abusing the perks involved to harass the streamer or leak sensitive information they should not have had access to. Some viewers think that they are supporting a streamer more by gifting…

  10. Twitch is currently promoting Roblox, a game which is used by predators to talk to children and has actively protected those predators. This promotion should never have been given the green light to happen and Twitch should investigate how it was allowed to happen and put in place more checks so it cannot happen again.

  13. In no world is a 24-hour ban appropriate for promoting a terrorist manifesto. Hasan’s implication that a targeted attack—one that took two innocent lives—might be a false flag is not only appallingly irresponsible, it’s outright dangerous. Framing such a tragedy as a potential setup doesn’t “ask questions”; it spreads conspiracy under the thin disguise of critique. It muddies the truth and undermines the reality of targeted hate.

    This behavior creates an unsafe environment—not just for viewers, but for Twitch’s employees, creators, and the broader community. The platform has a responsibility to protect its people, not shelter reckless rhetoric just because…

  14. It makes no sense that turning off whispers from “strangers” still lets in people that we don’t choose, such as followers or subscribers. Just because someone follows me doesn’t mean I want them to be able to whisper me, and giving us the option to choose what counts as a stranger (for instance setting it two only those I follow can whisper me) would go a long way to both cutting down on spam message, and making whispers a useful tool instead of yet another avenue for harassment.

  16. I do not believe that twitch is doing enough to make the platform a safe place for Neurodiverse people in same way it does for other forms of discrimination.

    • Twitch should provide basic instructions of how to recognize Neurodiverse discrimination on the twitch platform but also related platforms such as Discord and twitter.

          - For example if a person has disclosed that they are neurodiverse and 
            another user continually posts comments such as weird or repeated 
            post gif and emotes under the disclosed persons messages. This would 
            be harassment and victimization
      
        - It should also be made clear that streamers

  18. When you have you Amazon Prime linked to Twitch, Clicking the Discover Luna box beside Twitch Icon/Following/Browse on Twitch website, it will redirect you to Amazons website. On Amazons website the first thing that will appear is your linked address if you are logged into Amazon on your browser, potentially doxing you. Recommend providing a popup window that tells you that you will be redirected to Amazon.ca/.com to prevent this happening to others would be appreciated to keep users/streamers private information safe in the event your a curious cat on stream clicking buttons. Having a single button hosted on twitches…

  19. Enable full verification of a user with a mobile number and passport ID. So that it can stop people looking for and abusing the young people who stream.
    When the same user can only create a new account with a new e-mail, it does not make security very high for the young people that predators try to take into private rooms. To date I have reported many people trying this.

    If safety is important for those under 18, this should be a matter of high priority. Enable that "everyone" must activate their account with a mobile number.

  20. I noticed a lot of hate raids will flag / report a channel rapidly to get it taken down; and it had me thinking about Steam Review Bombing.

    I was wondering if a possible fix might be that if a channel gets an exceptional amount of flags / reports in a short period of time that those reports are thrown out or logged as possible hate raid? Might allow your automated systems to avoid banning streamers in these situations while not removing the ability to still report content.
