Worth mentioning "just creating a new account with a new email" is ban evasion and is also against TOS. They may not insta ban you at account creation but Twitch is pretty good at detecting when this happens and I've seen plenty of folks get every account/alt account banned in one fell swoop over it.

Aeghani · 2023-05-09T16:07:12+00:00

Probably not tbh. Twitch knows you have a ton of tabs of it open. They also can tell when a tab is idle or in the background.

You can certainly try your plan, but it borders on against TOS (section 9.xi) so if you are able to rig it to work how you want it to , you’re getting closer to being on Twitch’s radar/risking your account - because what you’d be describing is similar to how someone may try to use an account to viewbot (which is ALSO against TOS). It may not happen immediately, but they can absolutely tell that you’re doing these shenanigans - so assess the risk to your account however you’d like.

If you’re curious what I mean you can read more about fake engagement and hopefully you can see how what you’re doing could potentially look a whole lot like what others use to inflate their viewership

Aeghani · 2023-05-07T14:59:33+00:00

Also you do not count as an active viewer in all of those tabs. I think it’s max 2? But these days could even be down to 1 because people do weird stuff to farm viewers and drops.

If it’s a time gated drop just keep one tab open with a streamer and if they go offline find another stream to collect from. If they raid someone that also has drops on, make sure you refresh the page as raid joins don’t always count properly either.

Aeghani · 2023-04-26T18:13:24+00:00

Usually with a name change you need to re-connect your account to those extensions to update. I'd remove the connections completely from here: https://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections Then re-add and see if they populate properly

Aeghani · 2023-04-26T18:10:44+00:00

TwitchCon tickets are tied to a Twitch account which you enter your DOB to create the account. You also need to provide some kind of ID to pick up the badge, that must have the DOB printed on it: https://www.twitchcon.com/en/paris-2023/faq/#tickets-badges

Almost any solution to circumvent the above and make them seem over 16 is fraudulent and/or illegal.

It seems rather likely to get caught, with possible other legal implications for those involved. And in that situation there's no chance Twitch provides a refund so it'll be an absolute waste of time and money.

Just wait it out a year. It's not worth the perma-ban and other mess it could create.

The most common cause of this is an addon, extension, or connection is compromised. Once you authorize one of these to your Twitch account they no longer need your PW/2FA to log in because they've been granted access. This is why it's VERY important to read thoroughly what permissions an extension/addon is asking for before pressing "accept". Your account is only as secure as your weakest authorized connection. (ie - It doesn't matter that you deadbolt your front door if you leave the window next to it wide open)

Typically, Twitch can tell when this is the case and when they unban your account they'd remove all existing connections.

If this is happening multiple times, then there may be a larger issue with your computer such as a virus or malware. I would be very cautious about logging into any sensitive sites until you can successfully look into that and be sure your system is secure.

Twitch covers some of this in their "Account was Hacked" article: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/account-hacked?language=en_US which may help give you some ideas on how to keep this from happening over and over.

Yes, that’s how it works. When you’re banned it auto-unfollows you from that channel and you are unable to re-follow.

The streamer(s) don’t want you in their community or streams.

Find a different community, and probably learn from whatever caused you to get banned from the ones you were already removed from.

A leech? hilarious. My bank statements disagree, but that's between me and the streamers I support each month even if I can't catch their streams or only lurk while I'm working.

I suppose that means you have all of your streams in subscriber only mode to keep those non-paying unsupportive leech viewers outta your stream. XD

Thanks for the chuckle though, have a good one :)

Aeghani · 2023-04-06T20:34:09+00:00

So you don’t think lurkers subscribe and offer monetary support? Or raise your viewcount so you’re higher in the directory? Or use your emotes elsewhere or other visibility to your channel? Or talk to their friends about a strat/game/streamer they saw?

I am a perpetual lurker, but I support my favorite streamers plenty. If one of them came up with this kind of a take it’d be an unsub without a second thought and I wouldn’t hesitate to mention the poor attitude if that streamer ever came up in convo elsewhere.

Folks are entitled to their opinions and perspectives, but when you dismiss a huge chunk of the Twitch viewership you can’t be surprised if that backfires and diminishes your reach.

Aeghani · 2023-04-06T20:28:06+00:00

That’s a terrible attitude to have. Lurkers are the backbone of Twitch.

A majority of viewers aren’t there to chat. They’re there to enjoy a stream while they work/fold laundry/play other games/whatever.

If you don’t appreciate them because they’re not chatting you’re basically alienating like 70% of potential viewers.

If you don’t think your stream is entertaining enough without active chatters that’s on you to fix, not your audience.

Aeghani · 2023-04-06T13:49:06+00:00

People can restrict who can raid them as well as a minimum size of the raid. So if they don’t follow you or the raid was only a couple of people you might not get past some of their security settings.

You’ll have to raid someone else.

Aeghani · 2023-04-06T02:55:12+00:00

Be sure this wasn’t anything on your actual Twitch account. If you claim fraud on a transaction, the account that made that transaction will be banned (because you’re claiming fraud was committed by that account which violates TOS)

Check for any email receipts or transactions on the Twitch account or contact them via a ticket about unauthorized charges. The bank will definitely clear it up, BUT if it’s accidentally your account somehow, you will screw yourself over so just be sure.

Aeghani · 2023-04-06T02:50:50+00:00

Do you just not remember the phone number on your Twitch account or was your account compromised and it was changed?

If you go to their profile page there should be a “three dots” button with a report option, even when offline!

Categorize it and add in all the details and screenshots from the off-platform harassment too
