(thinking…)

Allow reporting of anonymous sub gifters.

Currently anonymous subs can be given to offensive account names and the streamer has no ability to report this. A gifter can continue to do this indefinitely. Streamers can only report the accounts that were gifted which does not solve the problem.

This leads to immediate and continuous abuse.

You removed Anonymous Bits for "Abuse" reasons despite them not carrying a name, image, or message. You left in Anonymous Gift subs even though they can be used like this. Give us an option to report these actions.

    There are a lot of inappropriately named accounts they can use as ammunition and the is nothing the streamer can do to stop them. So this needs to be blocked.

    Hey Twitch,

    Heres is an anom gift sub I was privvy to on the live stream today.
    "An anonymous gifter gave buttplugbetty a Tier 1 Sub!" on PirateSoftware stream. The streamer is not at fault and no one, including the streamer, is able to report this anon gift. Bad actors are able to use anom gifts to abuse streamers on your platform, much more than they ever could have with anon bits.

    Confusingly you removed anon bits, leaving this actual significant issue open for continued abuse. This should not require further discussion and should have been identified and actioned accordingly, as you were reviewing anon bits.

    Twitch. Be better and do better.

    literally just watched someone gift a sub to buttplugbetty. Let streamers report this so you can stop people hate subbing streamers.

    You cannot gift subs to accounts that don't exist. There are just tens of thousands of accounts with offensive names that slipped through the cracks. Unlimited ammunition for someone who wants to gift to them anonymously.

    We need a way to report the gifter, not the giftee.

    How hard would it be to implement something that prevents gifting subs to accounts that don't exist? At least that way one could report the accounts with the offensive name.

    It is very disheartening to see this happen and just adds insult to the injury.

    e:

    Oh my bad, I swear that still worked not too long ago.
