Twitch, we suggest you IMMEDIATELY backpeddle on this change that no one ever asked for nor wanted. You are planning that on September 1st, you will decrease the VOD storage threshold for non-affiliate channels from 14 days to 7 days. This is flat-out unacceptable. You are taking an entire extra week away from channels that aren't affiliate to download their VODs before they are permanently deleted. This change was not needed. Imagine you're a channel that is non-affiliate, like me, and you want to download one of your VODs to say, upload on YouTube. Usually, you would be able to download them in 2 weeks. Now, starting September 1st, if you eventually want to download your stream, and you are past that 7-day storage threshold, then you will find out the VOD has been permanently deleted, and then you'll find out Twitch did this stupid change to make it harder for non-affiliate channels to save their VODs. We are asking you to IMMEDIATELY backtrack on this decision. This change is going to affect so many non-affiliate channels who want to save their streams (IN FULL) and upload them to their YouTube channels, or elsewhere. The fact you are now only going to give 7 days for a non-affiliate channel to save their stream before it gets deleted is unacceptable. The two-week threshold was absolutely fine. There was no need for this stupid change! Instead of increasing the threshold by a certain number of days, or maybe an extra week, you DECREASE it instead. This is a stupid idea that should have never been taken into consideration. I am a non-affiliate streamer and you're giving me absolutely ZERO option other than to accept this change, or turn off VODs. No, I'm not accepting this stupid change, and neither are any of us non-affiliate channels. This is an idea that should have died at the drawing board. Trust me, when this goes into effect on September 1st, it is going to affect so many non-affiliate channels in the longrun. Your community did not want this, nor did they ask for it. If you care for your community, you would not go through with this stupid update and leave it as is. It's always "you will accept this change, deal with it". No, we aren't going to accept this! You are just making another excuse for non-affiliate streamers to buy Twitch Turbo. That is the only reason why. Well, enough is enough. Us non-affiliates are tired of you taking features away from us, or making a hassle out of a feature. We will stand up and fight back against this change. We demand you to cancel this change immediately!

Hi, thanks for flagging this and sharing your suggestion.
We share and understand your concerns about how the intentional, repeated misuse of tags can undermine the purpose of the tags product itself. Tags are an important discoverability feature for communities, and a powerful way for all Creators—but especially those that are underrepresented—to express their personal identity and creative vision for their content.
We also do not feel Twitch should be the judge of Creators’ personal or creative identity, so we typically only enforce against the misuse of tags when it is associated with other behavior that violates our Community Guidelines such as hateful conduct or harassment.
That said, as the VTuber community’s experience demonstrates, there are limitations to this approach and we are actively investigating additional steps we can take to protect and improve the integrity of the tags feature at scale, without infringing on good faith Creators’ personal choice…

Right now, it is basically impossible to verify your accounts in these 'restricted' chats without getting a phone number. Sure, it prevents trolls from messing with the chat, but it also locks millions of other users out of the experience. If they don't have a phone number to verify with, how are they supposed to verify their account? What if they aren't allowed to use their family's phone number? What if there phone number does not work with verification? You see? There are a lot of problems that come from having this forced phone verification in certain chats. Some users are unable to verify, so they will not be able to engage with the streamers, which is the WHOLE POINT of having a chat on a streaming platform. I say that you make it easier for people to verify their accounts by either allowing use of VoIP or landlines, or providing some sort of support to the people who are unable to verify their accounts, because there are a lot of people (including me) that know how annoying this crap is, and this would save them tons of hassle and allow them to start engaging with the streamer. If they do start to break the rules, THEN you should force no VoIP or landline to keep the troll from coming back. I feel this would be a much better implementation and would save viewers tons of hassle if they find these types of chats.

You should provide more quality options for the smaller Twitch channels as well as non-partnered channels. Right now, you can only have more quality options if you are a streamer with a high amount of viewers or a Twitch Partner. This means that the quality is stuck on "Source" and cannot be altered whatsoever. This needs to be changed. I am on a Chromebook and I can't watch a whole 1080p60/30 or 720p60/30 quality stream without the stream constantly buffering every few seconds. When it stops buffering, it 'plays' the stream for about a few more seconds before it starts to buffer again, and ruins my experience and my ability to watch the stream. My Chromebook is only capable of Twitch streaming qualities up to 480p quality, and anything above that makes the video player suffer as a result. I've been trying to enjoy these streams to no avail and end up leaving because it is practically unwatchable with the constant amount of buffering. Please remove the 'exclusivity' and allow all Twitch streamers to have quality options. This constant buffering is getting on my nerves.

Twitch Mods need to understand that they cannot abuse their power or straight up harass and bully someone just because they don't like them. It gives off very, very unwelcoming vibes and makes the user feel like a monster for making a simple and honest mistake. Some mods tend to forget that we are *all* human here. We are the same, and we should be equal. You have mods that straight-up be a complete butthole to you when they deny your unban requests, like the one 'dictating what we should do' thing even though I clearly wasn't doing that and was being nice to them the entire time. They completely backstabbed me and treated me with complete disrespect and disregarded any sense of compassion or thought. And then you have the mods who are toxic fiends and just pick on anyone they don't like and they think it is okay to harass, bully, and ridicule them. This is especially a problem in the VTuber community, as many have already stated in the comments. Mods need to be more understanding and treat people with respect. If they are unable to do that, then they shouldn't be a mod, period. The mods being toxic is the worst part of it. They think they have control over the entire stream and will ban anyone they don't like to control a narrative. This one person literally just said the name of a character (Lily) in a VTuber's chat because it was literally the name of a character in the game and was timed out for no reason and threatened a ban. Another was banned from several chats preemptively over a simple mistake, and another was banned for... literally no reason. All of those instances happened amongst streamers in the VTuber community. Have these mods forgotten about the phrase "you need to give respect to earn it"? In fact, I think *all* mods who act like this have. And the worst part is they get paid for being bullys. Streamers actually pay these people money. And I bet that mod that made that snarky 'dictating what we should do' comment to me is still a mod for that streamer and still gets paid unfathomable amounts of money. All I am gonna say is that they were a mod for a drumming streamer. Not saying the name of the streamer to avoid any kind of potential harassment of either the streamer or the mod in question. We should not fight fire with fire. There are hundreds of cases where innocent users on Twitch get banned from streams for the stupidest of reasons, but there are other viewers of various channels that say nasty and horrible things (ex: racism) and get away with it. Mods literally say that their decisions are final, but in most cases, it's the streamer who makes the final decision. This gives mods the ability to make reports when streamers are the ones who unban viewers from their chat, and it can get really hairy as the reports by the mods hold a lot more weight than the streamers. This kind of abusive behavior from Twitch channel moderators is unjust, wrong, and is in some cases straight-up bullying, and it needs to be fixed NOW. Twitch needs to implement a system into their reporting feature that allows you to submit a violation of moderator guidelines, and Twitch channel bans should tell you the username of the moderator in question so you know who to report for abusive behavior. Twitch should then look into the case for you, and if they find out that a violation has occured, the mod should be given a clear warning, and told to either unban the wronged user in question or face demotion. And if they keep on getting reported for this kind of behavior in the future, they should be given restrictions on their account and demoted from all streamers they mod for, and the restrictions can go from being unable to chat in certain streams all the way up to being unable to live stream. And if all of those warnings don't make them see sense, and if they keep on harassing and bullying users by abusing their moderation status, it should just be an immediate and permanent suspension from the platform entirely. Complete IP-ban. And if they find a way around it and keep up this behavior, Twitch should have no issues just completely banning their Hardware ID. If mods are unable to treat users with respect, then like superbomberman1123 said, they need to learn the hard way. They need to face *real* consequences for their actions.
Twitch, fix this. You have the power to do so. So do it!
