  1. This is not so much an idea as a request for clarification and explanation. On several occasions I’ve tried to submit an emote and had it rejected because of some so-called “twitch guidelines,” then I see male streamer doing the exact same thing (or worse), & absolutely NOTHING was done or said about it. Also, Twitch needs to be more clear on what is allowed at each level because I’ve also had things rejected and had them flat out tell me that what I submitted was not allowed, then I see a partner doing exactly what I was told I…

  2. "As we said above, suspension lengths vary according to important contextual cues, which may not always be obvious externally — but the way we evaluate those suspensions is always consistent for all users."

    If these are, indeed, consistently applied contextual clues, there's no reason why these clues shouldn't be publicly posted and / or visible.

    Put another way, if these rules are to be totally transparent in their application, no part of them should be hidden. If they cannot be made public, then the word / phrase / implication of "transparency" should be struck from the Community Guidelines lexicon.

    Sorry…

  3. Channels that are live 24 hours a day. While sitting on a menu screen, or character select screen.

    These same channels maintaining hundreds of viewers staying in chat. Mostly for a reward from the game that is being broadcasted.

    Why is this even allowed?

  4. I and many others would like to know when you plan to celebrate indigenous white peoples day?

    I’m also making you aware there’s Twitch streamer’s/partners out there with millions of views and subscribers that laugh and ridicule anyone who dares to ask a simple question yet gloat about the fact Twitch have acknowledged and celebrate Indigenous Latinos and every other community apart from the white community.

    The racist Latino was so proud to let me know they worked in Silicon Valley and was able to influence this even more.

    Surely this will only cause more division, not bring people together…

  5. Please ban pack openings (e.g. in FIFA) - It's just as toxic and addicting as Slots which you restricted last week. It advertises gambling to a very young audience. There seem to be double standards.

  6. I would like to give feedback about the crackdown on twitch and gambling. If twitch decides not to support slots/casino streamers. Then you should probably not support gammers in general. No difference in someone playing slots/casino games versus someone who is playing a MMO or RPG that is gambling/rolling stats for an item - it is still gambling if it is real money or fake money. Not to mention the fact that you can microtransaction a lot of stuff in games for in game content/money. Casinos want people partnerships with streamers to bring in players to the casino. Gaming companies…

  7. I don't know if this is an issue for anyone else but recently a banned user came into a channel I moderate for. There was no ban appeal and both the creator and myself were concerned and shocked as we were sure the person in question was banned. We then looked into our ban and blocked list and there is not as many names as there was before meaning our chat safety could be at jeopardy. Twitch, please fix this.

  8. I don't understand how you can permanently banne a guy for one mistake told chat to put "L" on another stream. but banned a girl for 7 day for having sex in her stream. So what the girl did is not that bad to do on your platform? Help me understand, is this how you treat your content creators and viewers? I'm out

  9. Just an idea that the person who is banned from a channel should be informed of who banned them from the channel (broadcaster or moderator of the channel) and the reason included (if a reason was given).

    This shouldn't just be for the mods and broadcaster of the channel. This wouldn't be shown to those who aren't banned from the channel unless they're also banned from the same channel.

    "<User 1>, <User 2>, etc. are banned from <channel name> by <broadcaster/mod's name> because of <applicable reasons>"

    This would help the person understand why they're banned and if it was an…

  10. I keep being in friends streams and random people come in and ask them do show their feet or the back of their mouth and they refuse to do it (as they should do) and then they say they will be banned if they don't. They still refuse and then their account get suspended! This is WRONG! How can an account be suspended because they refuse to do a challenge or dare? It is not safe and not fair!!!!

  11. From what I have seen here on Twitch are that streamers among the Furry and LGBTQA+ communities are being punished over nothing and ruins their content. There is a humungous lack of support and equality coming from Twitch moderators as people go and report the named streaming communities emotes, vods, etc. Someone else had pointed out a streamer that is doing a "Just Chatting" and "Cooking" stream but is literally acting sexual towards their chat. Why aren't streamers like this reported, moderated, and removed from the Twitch platform? If they want to go make money by being sexual with their…

  12. A twitch user, let's call him "Racistguy1" shouldn't be able to just make a new account called "Racistguy2" and pick up his harassment where he left off.

    Racist trolls are making racist names, then seek out streams to harass under the "African American" tag, probably other tags too I'd imagine, and then follow the channel, so their racist name pops up as a new follower.

    The reason I'm making this post is Twitch needs to ban certain name combinations. For example, right now as I type this, there's a troll going around with the name "skittlesboytrayvonmartin" followed by random numbers.…

  13. Why won't you enable human authentication???????????

    Such as, "Select all photos that are showing traffic lights..." etc...
    Twitch bots are ruining your platform.
    Honestly its not that hard to get rid of them. Your monitoring/authentication process is atrocious. It wouldn't surprise me if Twitch was supporting these botting sites and allowing BOTS for more ad revenue/publicity and numbers.
    Embedded and fake views should not count.

    It's not that hard to get a server, run some simple python commands that create accounts in the thousands. Then let them chat, and even mimic other user's input to make them seem authentic.

    Force…

  14. I've encountered more and more streamers, who say that if they encounter a child / user who openly states they are below the age of 13, it is not their job to do anything about it.

    So I was wondering if Twitch could openly & clearly state on the policy of what a streamer is required to do when this occurs.

    For example, they must ban them & report them.
    or they can don't have to do anything.

    The way the rules are worded streamers don't have to do anything and can ignore them and come with a line of…

  16. Ich würde mir wünschen, das das Melde System Vereinfacht wird Z.b. bei einer Bot Spam Attacke. Ein Tool einfügen bzw. ein Fenster wo man Einfach nur Melden muss und vielleicht nur noch eine Kategorie Auswählen so das man keine Stunde braucht um 50 Benutzer zu Melden ich hatte schon mehrere Bot (Troll) Attacken mit erleben müssen und habe Teilweise eine Stunde jeden Nutzer gesperrt, Was auch ne Idee wäre , wenn man Massen Meldungen Machen kann man Markiet die Chat Teilnehmer mit z.b. Rechtsklick wo ein Fenster auftaucht wo dann ne Option , Markieren und dann ein Button auftaucht melden…

  18. I subscribe to a few people and i am wondering why their emotes keep getting removed. the emotes i am talking about are "dumper" emotes they are usually cartoon characters dancing/twerking. that may seem like its a given why they are removed but a funny dancing emote of a stuffed animal character shouldn't be removed while you can see more graphic things of humans on the front page of the pools and hot tub category. is there any specific reason why they are removed but the other stuff is allowed?

  19. I've seen quite a few people get banned now and they cannot decipher what they got banned for in the vague email you send. More to this; streamers can be streaming for 10 hours a day and you expect them to remember 10 seconds of discourse that got them banned? Just attach the "bannable" clip to the email. How are people supposed to consciously appeal a ban when you don't explicity tell them what they did was wrong instead of give a vague "category"?

  20. Please ban people when they broke the terms of service why do you ban people who didnt ? and you can not even give them the proof that they did something wrong . Some people report others just for fun and they write lies in the report message thats not a reason to ban someone !!! then people have to wait for a long time because your twitch support team are not responsible ignorants who dont care !! please if you care about your customers hire better support and change this stupid system of banning innocent people everyone is sick…
