This ticket can be under Charity, Legal and Moderation categories

There has been TOO many incidents where creators have said that funds from Sus and Bits will go to charity, their moderation teams, etc.

Twitch needs CLEAR guideline updates to discourage this behavior as its gray area scamming their communities in the fact that end users buy bits, or gift subs and Twitch takes a cut of those funds, and the charities the creators say they are supporting NEVER see those funds.

Any mention of Charity if on stream, in chat, in shared chat, in social media posts or other platforms should be forced to go through the approved 3rd party services like Extralife, Tiltify which give funds DIRECTLY or use the Twitch Charity tool which uses Paypal Giving to send funds direct to the intended charity by turning the sub button into a donate link (using charity tool BITS and Extensions that use Bits should be disabled if creators want to raise for charity & still take tips for themselves then they should use a 3rd party tips service that has clear separate links and clear text saying what each support form is going to)

This same policy should apply to if funds are going to Moderators on behalf of the creator & potentially a tool similar to the charity tool should be created to make this happen so there is 100% transparency to the end users who in every case have gotten defrauded for their kindness.

There have been countless creators that have said this and countless more incidents of those funds NEVER getting to charity. This is just veiled Charity Fraud and Twitch can be held liable for the "added" funds along with the creators making those claims in some regions of the world.

Charities deserve better!! Making clear Brightline rules around Charity on the platform will ensure all parties are playing by normalized rules with clear language and penalties on breaking those guidelines.

Pirate Software Hype Train funds (50% subs/bits going to mods when part of bits could go to extension creators and 30% uf subs go to Twitch) and Ironmouse/Vshojo charity (all subs/bits go to charity where a managment agency was actually taking those funds and never 1) donated 2) compensated for the Twitch/Bits users charges or Bits extension creator % cut) and numerous other cases are a few examples of where more clarification and clearer guidelines are needed.
