  1. I think the new content classification feature is an incredibly useful tool to have. Allowing creators to specify their content and giving an audience the ability to know that a stream may have something that is not for them is great!

    As a streamer who is SFW and doesn't have any content that would fall under these classifications, though, the loss of the maturity tag means that I am losing a valuable feature to keep my community safe.

    Why I don't want children in my space despite being completely SFW:
    It is a LOT of work to keep children safe…

  2. With the new Content Classification system that has come into use today, replacing the mature content setting, there is one issue that I believe should be looked at.

    Fully family friendly streams who are playing limited aspects of a game (such as an MMO) should be able to toggle off the automated label, as the interstitial shown to viewers will discourage viewers who would otherwise be watching said family friendly content.

    For example, I stream the Elder Scrolls Online, which carries an ESRB rating purely for content in quests and dungeons. However, all I stream is housing tours, looking at…

  3. I think there should be a 'flashing lights' label on the new Content Classification label system.
    It would be helpful for people with Epilepsy and light sensitivity.

  4. I like to drink rum while I stream. It's kind if my thing. Since I drink a couple of glasses of alcohol, twitch is forcing me to add the alcohol classification, which is fine, but why am I now being forced to brand my stream with "Drugs, Intoxication, or Excessive Tobacco Use" in big letters under my stream?

    I don't want my stream to be associated with drug use. Seperate these labels so people know exactly what they're watching instead of such a broad classification of completely different things.

  5. The New Content Classification drop down appeared today and the mature content has been removed. However, The categories need to be developed further and made clearer.

    For example - In my stream I have always put the mature content warning on - not for any specific reason. Occassionally there is some light harmless inuendo as part of the banter (nothing really worse than someone mispeaking something that sounded a bit rude, or someone making a 'said the actress to the bishop' comment.)

    According to the new options, this would mean I would have to label my stream as having 'Sexual…

  6. When I logged on to twitch.tv today, on the homepage was an NSFW stream thumbnail. When clicking on the stream, the stream is tagged as "Significant Profanity or Vulgarity, Sexual Themes", so Twitch knows it's profane and sexual.

    Yet the thumbnail, which was of a woman with NSFW-amounts of clothing on, was the first thing on the site. There should not be NSFW thumbnails on the homepage of twitch.tv, unless I explicitly click on the stream.

  7. I have no issue with having content warnings if they are done well, but they are intrusive and not helpful if they are everywhere.
    If I am happy to watch specific content, the alert should allow you to have an option to opt out of getting this warning again.
    Or they could be added to the Twitch Notification settings panel, and allow opt in/out for each content type.

  8. While I fully support any creator's right to produce whatever content they wish within Twitch's TOS, there are many users who for multiple reasons, do not wish to view Sexualised Content.

    Currently, even if a streamer marks their content with the 'Sexual Themes' tag, I still see thumbnails of them performing sexualised content in my Browse view, and often see a second or two of sexualised content before the 'warning screen' appears. On top of this, I'm also seeing sexualised content in their stream titles.

    I would like to see a default setting in User Preferences where users are asked…

  9. The new Content Classification labels are lacking in nuance and provide more harm than good.

    As opposed to a general "This stream is intended for mature audience and may include content inappropriate for general audiences" You've instead provided people with weapons to attack streamers with unless they flag their stream as inappropriate for everyone. It's already commonplace where minority streamers will get attacked with false reports of things like emotes being too sexual when they are clearly not.

    Ultimately you're asking us all to trust that twitch moderation will act in the best interest of the community, something that is…

  11. I notice for streams there are options to classify the stream 'for a mature audience only'. I have made clips and featured clips from my live stream, which are for a mature audience only. However, for clips, especially 'featured clips' there is no option to classify the clips, featured or not.

    When will the 'mature audience only' option be available for clips and a blur screen option for all clips exhibiting adult only content?

    Thanks!

    Hi, we're working on having the content classification labels apply to clips, based on the stream; I'll update this post, as soon as we have more information. Thanks!

  12. There are some streamers I enjoy watching who are very mild in certain categories of the Content Classification (or who occasionally play a game that is in a Content Classification). To watch them, I am required to approve of watching this content classification category. However, I did not realize that once I accept it for one stream, it is accepted for all streams. Now, anytime I click on a stream, I am no longer warned about this content classification, resulting in me entering streams I am not comfortable with, and with no way to turn the warnings back on as…

  13. I really think Twitch needs to expand the sexually suggestive tags and safe for work tags. Specifically, I think this should apply to what content is recommended from the front page of Twitch for a user and in the advertisements.

    I listen to my favorite streamers in public places, and I do not want to be suggested the NSFW streams for obvious reasons.

  14. Please give us the option to hide all mature content warnings, age gating, and similar alerts. Their existence alone is insulting and disrespectful to me, but at least hiding it lets me forget about them.

  15. 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…

  16. Twitch recently introduced the ‘content classified’ categories.
    I am talking about sexual education, no nudity, and I have been classified as “sexual themes”.
    It is a nightmare for me as hot tub girls are also classified as “sexual themes”
    Viewers come to my stream asking me when I will get more naked. They also tell me I shouldn’t say “sexual themes” as I am not doing hot tub.
    I understand we need to protect children but please we need to add “sexual education” classified content.
    I cannot stream with this category

  17. The new labels are redundant and invasive. you already have to click yes that you'd like to view mature content. why is it needed to click through another warning? why cannot the content labels just be displayed rather than a click through. I suggest this because my content is already labeled 18+ all the content warnings are included in 18+. so stop requiring the content warnings as click through and add it as a visual label on top of the mature content click through.

    you're just creating another barrier for viewers to actually reach out streams.

  18. For now, content labels are based on the ESRB. However, I believe that standards should be set against the countries and languages of the streams.

    For example, there are cases of violence in ESRB but not in CERO. In addition, the content is sometimes modified depending on the country in which it is released, so it is not appropriate to apply uniform standards.

    現在のところコンテンツラベルは ESRB が基準になっている。しかし, 基準は配信者の国や言語に照らし合わせて決められるべきだと思う。たとえば ESRB ではバイオレンスであっても, CERO では特に問題にならないケースがある。また, 発売されている国によって内容が修正されていることもあるので, 一律な基準の適用はふさわしくない。

  19. Ich finde die Inhaltskennzeichnung ganz gut, würde aber gerne wissen bzw. sicherstellen wollen das es sich um gekennzeichnete Dinge handelt die im Spiel vorhanden sind. Es geht mir zbsp. darum das ich Raucher bin und mit Drogen nix zu tun habe, in meinem aktuellen Spiel "Crime Boss" kommen Drogen vor. Jetzt stand eben auf meinem Channel das in meinem Stream Drogen und Tabakwaren vorkommen. Das finde ich nicht besonders gut. Es muss klarer definiert sein das sich die Inhalte aufs Spiel beziehen und nicht auf meine eigene Person bzw. meinem Kanal. Wie kann man das auseinanderhalten? Ich spiele, Spiele die…

  20. Having content warnings is absolutely ridiculous for anyone who is over 18. Don't treat your users who are adults like children. We don't need to be warned that the people we sub to swear in their streams.
