    Relevant Update  ·  Twitch responded

    We’re happy to announce that we have released an additional update to address these concerns. Streamers can now prevent their banned users from watching their livestreams. You can find and turn on this feature in the Moderation settings section of the Creator Dashboard, through the “Stop banned users from viewing stream” toggle.


    Please note, this update 1). does not prevent users from watching livestreams from an incognito window or while logged out and 2). does not prevent users from viewing VODs, clips or highlights. We plan to explore extending the functionality of bans further, including but not limited to preventing VOD and clip playback.


    In addition, we’ve made an update so that users that are blocked will now automatically be blocked from watching a streamer’s livestreams.

    We will leave this thread open for your other points regarding preventing view of other content types and account creation.

    So we do need some security measure like this.. How about banning the IP?

    It isn't fun being stalked online, and have players follow you in the game griefing you from lobby to lobby non-stop for like two days in a row. I already "reported" the individual for this, but he/she will be able to view my stream if they (Twitch) do not take the situation seriously, and he/she will continue to stalk I, and another streamer, in game. It's a pestilence, and harassment. If they're not going to give some sort of measure in somehow banning an individual from accessing another's stream to stalk people, then I hope Twitch perma bans this individual. It's just flat out creepy.
