Settings and activity

Yes, that's the point. If you go to police, Twitch has to provide the Name, Address, IP address or anything they know about that account. This way you could find the person behind the account. Over internet provider, they could look, who had that IP address and you got the Name and Address in your hand. I believe, if somebody online say, that he will kill you or so...or whatever, is the same if he says this for you personally. And therefore it is illegal because you are in danger.

For a short time, you could enable Telephone registration or how it is called for your chat if account is not older like 2 Months or so. And then new accounts will be filtered what is just created to harass you. Don't wait for Twitch, they do not really read what we writing here.

I speaking from my country, Hungary.

@Midgstar just call police, and make an report there. Then Twitch HAS to do something. Writing to here? Solves nothing. Twitch does not care.

In my country online harassment is a crime. So they go to jail.

@midgetstar If I may to give you an advice, go to police, make a report about the problem (in my country this internet harassment is a crime!), then you can contact Twitch about the topic, and then Twitch MUST do something. The real person will be found.

Otherwise, they are not able to help us. Too many reports, too easy to create a new account for bullying reasons.

And also...report it daily, and it will go through maybe! :)

Only way to stop this (but Twitch will never do...silly), is that your real Name with your ID card (+maybe address) MUST be given at registration time and for old accounts. And if somebody do things like that will be banned forever. No duplicated account is allowed. Harassments stopped.

We do not need those "persons" on this platform!

I have the same situation...and I think many of us has this. Since years they do not delete some accounts what I reported many times (after half of the reports I do not even get an "thank you for your report" Email . It is more important to get money from hot tub streamers for Twitch I assume.

Make an online police report and then they have to do something! I will do this next time I face a guy like this.

And I do not know, why Twitch does not do anything in many cases? Why I have to prove what somebody entered into my chat or created an offensive user name? Please! Be pro and log all the chat Twitch!

The only thing that could stop this is that everybody should be identifiable. Everybody should enter at registration:
1) Real Name
2) ID card
3) Address
maybe 4) 2F login (some younger generations will have no phone maybe...then parents phone?).

Then nobody will create a 13th account just to harass somebody with the user name or something. Less work for Twitch, more joy for the streamer.

Not allowed to be on Twitch under 13? Just enter the Twitch url on any browser and here we go. You are in. It is not restricted at all! To be registered, to have an own account, is "restricted" people under 13...but you have just to say, that you are 13+ (or like 25) and that's it. You are in.

And 18+ is also not really a restriction. It is only a warning. "Take care, you could see or hear things for adults". And that's it.

And nowdays, they even not going into the hot tub in, so they just sitting around in bikini. And even worst...they do not appear on screen. Only if X amount of subs were dropped. So...most of the time, they are not even visible. Like a h oo ker. If you pay, I show myself.

"Permanently ban every streamer that streams on twitch hot tubs that doesnt have their stream set as 18+"

This does not helps anything! Anybody who is able to click off the warning is in the stream in 1 sec. Only a more strickt registration (ID card, address, real name, phone number) could be the solution. And then if you are under 18, those mature streams will be not even listed for the kids.

And imagine...if the hot tub stream is not an adult content by Twitch, and not against the rules (not porn, not even soft porn), then it is ok that your 13 years old daughter do the same "content" on Twitch. Is it ok? What you think?

It looks like, it is impossible to have a category like this! Guys! Could not maybe somebody hack Twitch and add this categories? :))))

And again...bittersweet solution. Now you may have 10 and not only 5...Why do you restrict us creators dear Twitch? Only 10 tags? Technically it is not a big deal to add 100 tags. Should be not a big deal.

OR UNLIMITED! Pls!

I, as a music streamer, would like to have instrument tags beside the music genere tags to tell the people, that I am playing on drums or guitar today. Or both...this is not possible now at all.

And if you add instrument tags, but will not increase the maximum ammount of tags we can use, I have to remove one genere for sake of one instrument tag...this is a problem.

And it is a problem, that 1801 of your main users voted to change that feature, but you did nothing in 1 year.

Fast fix: the place in code, wehere do you say maximum tags allowed 5, just change it to 30 or 100, or remove. And we are happy! To write this message last more than your fix time would be.

Why do we want to restrict ourself with the ammount of tags? Unlimited tags? Makes sense.

We could do what we want!

Technically there is like no difference at all, if you have 5 or 25 tags. Just saying.

Yeah! Would be great to have an own part in tags like for music. You can have set category music, then below category you can find "Music Tags".

So please add an own, new part on the Edit Stream Info, like: "Language Tags". And WITHOUT any restrictions (like only 5 language) we should be able to add any language what we speak or wanna react in our stream. Please add so many languages as available! Not only the main 5.

This way tags could be something different.

Funny, that the first tag you can select if you click on Tags is Jewish. Not ordered alphabetically.

@ElleRows this makes no sense! If your mother language is Zulu but you speak also Croatian, and wanna find streams on that two languages, you may find if you search for bilingual channels, but for sure you have to scroll a lot to find a Zulu channel :) But if there is a channel with lets say with Maori and Zulu, and you search for Zulu language, then you will find that channel.

So it makes sense to have language specific tags options UNLIMITED, non restricted.

English is NOT the only language!

And country tags were I think the worst solution...but it is discussed already here.

2 years gone...I think it is not that important for Twitch to realize this for us. However 1000+ votes. We just waste our times here :)

@szymonbolivar Yeah! Happy new year! :) Are you do afterparty?

I think almost nobody is searching to country..like England, Australia, Austria or Andorra. They searching to language they speak and understand.

Language is not equals with Country!

We asked for a Language option not a Country tag pls! It could be not that hard to allow to add as many languages to our streams as we want! And the search engine should find my Hungarian channel for Hungarians, or on Global page too if I set my streams language to Hungarian + English. And not Hungarian + England tag. Now, you have to enter country filter to get the country you want to watch....or I mean language to watch.

And we are only allowed to add 5 tags. Come on! I will use 3 from 5 only for countries?

What if I say, I would like to have everything in my languages...like the about page, or channel point rewards...on all 4 languages what I speak. I mean the content itself. And not to try push text into that fields on 4 different languages.

Thank you!

I can speak 3 languages (Hungarian\English\German). But if I set English as the stream language, my fellow Hungarians will never find me. But if I set to Hungarian, I will never grow, as the country itself is small, and we do not have so many viewers. So...unlimited language options on the stream would be very good! Please implement it!

Thank you!

"We’re reviewing this. Curious how long you think would be ok."

Maybe 7 years? At least it has the same time range as your planned status for this. :)

I got the feeling, that this uservoice page is just a trashcan for us. We throw all our problems and ideas in and then...nobody will do anything for years.

Also /announcepurple and such colors are not working with IRL bots. Just if you type in directly into the chat....not fixed.

Or it would be great if we could set a number of seconds, how long the announcement should stay pinned. Default is forever or like 20 sec. Idk. But please do not add just a default. We, creators wanna control this things!

Or an /announceoff command could close/unpin all announcements. This way we could control the time, how long the message should appear for the chat with a chatbot or so.

For sure, viewers should be able to click off the announcement if they wish in they chat.

Idk why this is not fixed yet! To send colored announcements over chat bots is an important feature. It is definitely a bug. Please fix it!

And yellow is the new orange? :)

Thank you!

I think you can report such badly categorized channels, and then forget the whole thing. Don't expect, that Twitch will do anything regarding this. :)
