Zayola (@Zayola_) reportedHello, @Twitch @TwitchSupport @djclancy999 About four months ago my Twitch channel "Zayola" was targeted by fraudulent transactions, which resulted in my account being suspended. After a manual review by your team my account was reinstated, and I believed the issue had been resolved. Since then, I have streamed for the past four months without any issues, following the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines at all times. However, I recently received another email stating that my account is being suspended for the exact same reason. I'm genuinely concerned about why this continues to happen. My only explanation is that malicious users may be purchasing subscriptions and then requesting chargebacks, inadvertently triggering your fraud detection systems. However, I have not received any Bits, unusually large numbers of Prime subscriptions, or any gifted subscription activity that would have stood out as suspicious. I have been paying close attention to my channel specifically to watch for anything unusual so that I could report it immediately if necessary. From everything I have observed, the small number of paid and gifted subscriptions I received appeared to be legitimate support from members of my community. I want to make it absolutely clear that I have never participated in, encouraged, or knowingly benefited from fraudulent activity. I don't stream for financial gain; I simply enjoy creating content and interacting with my viewers. I have been streaming for over five years and have worked hard to build a community. I fully understand Twitch's rules and have always done my best to comply with them. I fully support the removal of any funds from my payouts if they are determined to be connected to fraudulent activity. I am also more than willing to provide any information necessary to demonstrate that I have not engaged in or knowingly benefited from any fraudulent behavior. I respectfully ask that you please investigate this matter. I simply want the opportunity to continue streaming and engaging with the community I have spent years building. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in identifying and preventing malicious users from repeatedly and intentionally targeting my channel.

Ayasha Choudhury (@Ayashachoud) reported@TwitchSupport for account ayashagamesI’ve submitted multiple tickets about this and the responses so far have included information that doesn’t match my account, which suggests this hasn’t been reviewed by a person yet. I’m requesting this be escalated to a live support agent for manual review rather than an automated or templated response. I want to be clear: I’ve thoroughly checked on my end — searched my email (inbox, spam, and trash) for any Twitch account creation or verification emails, and checked for any accounts tied to my identity. I found nothing indicating I have another account. Given that, I don’t believe this is a duplicate or fraudulent account issue — it seems more likely this is a bug or data error on Twitch’s end that’s surfacing incorrect information tied to my account. Could someone please review my account directly and help identify where the discrepancy is coming from? I’m happy to verify my identity through whatever process is needed to get this resolved. Thank you.

Ayasha Choudhury (@Ayashachoud) reported@TwitchSupport Why do you guys not help in support? You keep telling me I have 5 monetized accounts and I can’t complete onboarding and I only have one twitch account

sonia asahina (@SoniaAsahina) reported@TwitchSupport this is terrible. opting us in without our consent to begin with is just wrong.

Hermit | Voice Actor | Content Creator (@HermitOnTwitch) reported@TwitchSupport ******* awful platform option that NO ONE asked for.
-
Zoombie 🏳️⚧️ (@ZoombieTTV) reported@TwitchSupport This should be off by DEFAULT!!!!! Generative AI is bad for streaming as a creative field even if you ignore all of the other problems with it, and many streamers will not see this post and will be stuck with something they don't want.

Floofy Goose (@FloofyGoose) reported@TwitchSupport I need help recovering my account I lost access to my account do to not updating 2FA And Twitch Support Tickets arent helping me

「 Mataku | Editor 📋✨」 (@Matakyuwu) reportedTwitch might be the only platform where changing usernames is the worst thing that can happen. I have deleted my old german account back in the day with the name "Mataku" to make room for my newer one. This one has a specific notation in the tax-form i am using, since i have a small company ( the one you are all aware of with editing and content creation ) Now, they tell me, 6 months must atleast have passed for the "name" to be recylced. Well, more than 6 months have passed and the username is still blocked. Whenever i try to receive an information and EVEN tell them i need it for my business ( which is not a lie, it is written in my literal company-statement from where i receive my MONEY FROM ) , they tell me they CANNOT do manual checks nor can influence the rate at which they are released. This is sickening. Truthfully. Restricting the change of a name to the point, where a PREVIOUSLY OWNED NAME is unavailable and telling people to just "wait it out" without any date to give, is unacceptable behaviour. I'd like my name back @TwitchSupport . I have talked with your customer support several times by now and at some point my patience is running thin. if it was just a random name of a chatting account, i wouldn't care. But this is my literal business account . I use it to check on clients, transmit information, and it has my taxation information locked behind the name. Please, check it again, and release the name.

Lodi (@thatPaleDragon) reported@TwitchSupport @zachbussey @TwitchSupport really? What if I don't want ANY of my content used AT ALL for "ai training"? I'll take my work ELSEWHERE, tyvm. Cuz it says RIGHT THERE IN THE NOTICE THAT IT DOES NOT OPT YOU OUT OF AMAZON AND TWITCH USING YOUR CHANNEL CONTENT FOR AI SUPPORTED TWITCH FEATURES!!

thumbspazm (@thumbspazm) reported@earlyspark @TwitchSupport Having the same issue!
-
ℌ𝔢𝔞𝔯𝔱𝔩𝔰𝔰 (@Heartlss__) reported@Twitch @TwitchSupport she has never in her life done anything to hurt anyone or anything. Having her account banned after getting hacked is unnecessary. Please help her
-
Neobeowulf (@Neobeowulfx) reported@TwitchSupport Headline in a few months: "Thousands of channels who opted out were used to train ai due to a glitch. Oopsie!"
-
🇨🇦 SwarleyPilgrim ᵗᵗᵛ (@SwarleyPilgrim) reported@TwitchSupport Hey! I'm going to be moving to YouTube if you keep forcing AI on your creators. Nobody wants to help you build you sloppy, ******, scumbag AI bullshit, and it isn't helping creators in *any* way. Fix things, or lose your creators entirely. It's not rocket science.

CandaceOwensIsARetardedNaggerGroyper (@UGOTGROYPED) reported@OldANDivorced @umapalma01 @TwitchSupport If theyve got a problem with it theyre gonna get their ******* bise broken ill tell ya that

King Awesome👑🧊 (@KingAwesomeTTV) reportedHey @TwitchSupport I think the Activity Feed is broken cause I've gotten follows during my stream *cause I saw the number change* and no alerts ran at all, nothing from my on-screen alerts, nothing from my bot, nothing in the Activity Feed via my twitch dashboard. Pls fix.
-
NightmareJoker² (@NightmareJoker_) reported@TwitchSupport @zachbussey I don’t like that the description text makes it sound like that is precisely what it’s for, but lumps that purpose in with engagement analytics, and the moderator action analytics, that *without generative AI* feed into channel recommendations and AutoMod. Please fix, k thnx. 🫡

PreePonee 💖 🦄 Vtuber and Cam Streamer (@PreePonee) reported@CalamareiVT @TwitchSupport I guess the real upsetting part is they already take half+ of the revenue we create, which I totally understand, but if they are going to do that they should protect, or at least help, us have the revenue that belongs to us. Without streamers they don’t have platform income.
-
FBananapants (@FBananapants) reported@TwitchSupport The other issue is that if I go into a streamer that hasn't OPTED out, I won't know that. I will be chatting in THEIR room, and even if I've OPTED OUT, my content chatting in their channel can be used. it's stupid.
-
Roger Stiller (@Roger_Stiller_) reported@TwitchSupport Maybe before making these additions, you should fix what's still broken. Thanks for cutting my viewer counter in half today too. Meanwhile, a bunch of channels were having viewbotting enabled with complete impunity. GG @Twitch
-
Walter Biggins (@OldANDivorced) reported@umapalma01 @TwitchSupport They have looked into the situation and found he did nothing wrong. Please let us all not forget a certain twitch streamer got banned for calling someone "cracker". Haha, it's time to stop ask for them to fix it. They wont. Best to just keep clipping and spreading the word
-
Michael (@epic____1) reported@Tectone @Twitch @TwitchSupport ban Hasan. He has broken TOS more times than we can count.
-
Rauyne Cloud (@TheRauyne) reported@kivuraw @umapalma01 @TwitchSupport The exploitation only continues to get worse by the way. So clearly those soft methods are not working both domestically and foreign. Ah, the classic capitalism take...completely unrelated to the topic as well.

Tsujack (@tsujack) reported@Dudeanater @PreePonee @TwitchSupport yea they dont do **** unless it involves their business or servers directly. your on your own with them seeing posts etc till you bring a lawsuit or something against them.

momma peach 🍑 (@themommapeach) reported@PreePonee @TwitchSupport I'm not kidding.. We are not gonna give up. Lord Jesus this money belongs to YOU. Please help us figure this out.
-
Med (@NoviceMedical) reported@umapalma01 @TwitchSupport Hey idiot it's 2026. This cancel culture doesn't work anymore. If you have an issue submit a report via the platform and they'll choose to get back to you if they feel like it.
-
Glowing Guard (@GlowsterGuard) reported@TwitchSupport May your website fall apart, and all you have left; is a site that will join the dark web. You're not even aware if streamers content have been stolen and used to train your ****, is god-awful.
-
Josh Smith 🏴 (@JoshSmithActor) reported@TwitchSupport You have people that stream on twitch with millions of followers telling you this is an awful idea and you ignore it
