How to Report Someone on Twitch
Like any other online community, Twitch has its share of users who act up or break the rules. And that applies to creators as well as viewers. Thankfully, the streaming site has a robust reporting system in place, allowing problem members to be quickly reported and identified.
When Should You Report a Twitch User or Streamer?
The reporting option is available to tell Twitch moderators about users or streamers breakingTwitch’s terms of serviceorcommunity guidelines. This covers topics like using racist, homophobic, threatening, or abusive language. Reporting is also appropriate if you see spam messages, scams, nudity or gore, and self-harm.
You shouldn’t use the reporting tool simply because you disagree with another user’s opinion or dislike how a streamer plays your favorite game. If none of Twitch’s rules are being broken, you should take a moment to consider if reporting is appropriate.
Abuse of the reporting tool, such as making multiple false reports, is also against Twitch’s terms of service and community guidelines.
Reporting is a way for anyone to support the smooth running of the communities on Twitch. But there are several other things it’s possible to do toimprove your Twitch viewing experience.
How to Report Any User From a Twitch Chat
If a Twitch user does or says something that you feel breaks community guidelines or the terms of service, you can report them from within the chat panel of the live stream.
You can only report someone from within the chat panel if you are viewing a live stream. To report a user in the chat of a Video on Demand (VOD), click the username to open their channel page. Then, click theMore button(three dots) and selectReport Channel.
How to Report a Twitch User From a Whisper Message
You can also report whispers if you believe the message breaks the community guidelines. It is better to report from within the whisper panel, as it’s easier for moderators to identify the problem you are reporting.
If you aren’t sure what they are, take a look athow to use whispers on Twitchto learn more.
How to Report a Twitch Streamer
Twitch streamers can also break the rules or act in a way that offends viewers. The method for reporting a streamer differs slightly from the method used to report a user.
If you want to report the content of a previously recorded video, the process is very similar. Click theMorebutton and selectReport VOD. Select the reason for reporting the video and supply details as requested.
What Happens After Reporting Someone on Twitch?
After submitting a report, Twitch will email you to let you know it has been received. A moderator employed by Twitch will review the information you supplied and decide if further action against the user or streamer is appropriate.
Once the outcome has been decided, you will usually receive another email to let you know if Twitch has decided to take action. You won’t receive an email if no action has been taken against the user or streamer you reported.
Reporting someone is not the same asblocking someone on Twitch. If you want to stop seeing a user’s messages in chat or whispers after or instead of reporting them, blocking them is a good option.
