    No safety or removal of phishing streams has occurred for communities, at all. Phishing streams are constantly online, or brought back online minutes after a moderator removes them.

    Designate community or game-level moderators that can submit expedited stream take-downs of streams that are fake.

    For example, the Old School Runescape category has a consistently #1 spot viewbotted account that is rebroadcasting streams of popular streamers in this category, claiming they "are quitting" and "click links in bio to read more."

    These streams are phishing attempts and have legitimately been stealing CC information from fooled users for years, and nothing has been done about it.
