mavi mürekkep (@mawimurekkep) reported+For the 4th time I repeat the issue: The user "zahraimtiaz" is posting software ads, which are most likely scam, on ""uservoice"". The topic is "deleteable/eraseble whispers or direct messages", the link to this topic is in the 1st tweet. Please solve this @TwitchSupport. +

☆ Otako🐙📣 o̶c̵t̴o̷p̸u̷s̷ vtuber ☆ (@OtakoTan) reported@TwitchSupport I didn’t want to make this post, but after two months of begging Twitch for help this is our last resort. Twitch has continued to allow a hacker access to my friend’s twitch account. Their inaction should be a concern for every twitch account holder, as their lack of urgency and support show what little regard they have for their community members. Goobies_Hideaway was hacked on February 13th, 2026 via Discord and Twitch. Her entire identity was stolen, the hacker even tried to take loans out in her name. She has submitted 7 tickets to Twitch’s help system, and continues to only receive AI responses that do not address her situation. (1/4)

ty999999 (@Ty999999_VT) reported@TwitchSupport get your crap together! It should not take two months of dealing with nonfunctional AI that refuses to actually help you and lies to your face (no response when promised)! People should not need to have their case blow up on social media just to get support!

Turkey (@PresTurkey) reportedHas Twitch changed something about their UK servers? I've noticed that when watching UK streamers from NZ, streams are unstable and buffer continuously about half the time, and many of the non-partnered streams I watch no longer have quality options. @TwitchSupport any insight?
