    +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. +

    @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)

    @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!

    @RealMarcFoxx @TwitchSupport @Twitch Easy fix: delete your Twitch account and then delete the app. Stop supporting that clown *** company and the douchebag streamers making revenue off of it.

    Ok, @TwitchSupport .... you MIGHT want to work on your panel editing. Took me 5 ******* tries to change the game listings in a text panel rather then have it get stuck dragging the panel all over the screen. Might want to fix that (among everything else wrong with you)

    @TwitchSupport doubt you'll ever reply but...every stream I go in says "verified only" even though I know they have it turned off.. cuz I've typed in there before. Why is that being an issue now?? How do I fix it?? Logged out logged back in and nothing happened still can't type..

  • PresTurkey
    Turkey (@PresTurkey) reported

    Has 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?

  • JustLycis_
    Lycis  (@JustLycis_) reported

    @TwitchSupport @TwitchCon Maybe you shouldn't unban banned private security that then cause an issue by doing nothing with twitch security staff non existent.

    @Asmongold @TwitchSupport @Twitch This is getting ridiculous… Seriously -at this rate- your TOP streamers are eventually going to be forced to start switching to other platforms! FIX. YOUR. ****. …and unban your #1 streamer for ***** sake, like what’re you even doing right now??
