Have you heard about the recent changes on Twitch? Ironmouse and other VTubers are facing a new rule that prohibits them from showing their naked hips while streaming. Twitch has introduced Enforcement Notes to clarify what is allowed and what is not on their platform, in an effort to prevent problematic trends from gaining popularity. This includes Morgpie's "topless" meta from last year, which caused quite a stir within the community.
Enforcement Notes are specific examples added to Twitch's guidelines to outline what behaviors are not allowed for both streamers and chatters. One of the first Enforcement Notes added states that VTubers must cover their model's hips, which shows how determined Twitch is to keep their streamers from crossing the line. They explain that these notes will be used to address new trends that violate existing policies, cause a spike in data, or stir up confusion and discussion on social media.
Another trend that Twitch wants to make clear is not allowed on their site is the cinnamon challenge, where streamers attempt to eat a spoonful of powdered cinnamon for monetary gain. An Enforcement Note also states that chatters are not allowed to claim they are under the age of 13, even as a joke. Some fans are skeptical about the effectiveness of these notes, pointing out that Twitch has a reputation for changing their guidelines only after a trend becomes controversial, rather than proactively preventing it.
The Enforcement Notes are just one of the recent changes implemented by Twitch. In September, they also introduced a transparency feature that shows clips of the reason for a streamer's suspension. This is in addition to their efforts to create a safer and more regulated platform for everyone, including children, as seen with the hot tub trend a few years back.
But despite these efforts, some fans still question Twitch's consistency in enforcing their rules. They believe that Twitch tends to enforce their rules randomly, making these notes seem meaningless. However, Twitch is determined to make their platform a better place for everyone and is continuously working towards that goal.
In the end, it's important for everyone to follow Twitch's guidelines and be responsible for their actions while streaming. Let's all work together to create a positive and safe community on Twitch.
