@tom641: you wish. It is not the case, the rule interpretation is at discretion of moderators. The proof of it is that they are not consistent.

@tom641: / try their damnedest to find a loophole.

Ultimately it just comes down to "Twitch has a hard set of rules they want you to follow, they just don't want to tell you them because they think/know people would be upset"

since the backdrop is fake I am trying to figure out what is real.

@Waka: Because anything that would require an 18+ rating gets your video removed from the site.

youtube does have the whole 18+ thing that requires an account to view, its just something very rarely done by channels.

@Jo Pereira: You could put up a separate domain that just uses the same systems just so it's not mixed up. Basically the same website but branded differently and not obviously connected to Twitch.

I doubt it will change much. They've just made the rules more ambigious. IMO they should just make a mature filter.

@Paul Richeson: No big site wants to be flagged as 18+, even if it's gated content.

You either are a clean site, or you are a porn den, specially where ads (read, what give the sites money) are concerned.

@tom641: Seriously, just flag content as 18+, make it so you need an account to view it, and only take down the actual (read: not just nudity) pornography (that's what PornHub's for). Sure, you'll get kids faking their ages, but you can't enforce that without photo ID and no one's going to do that.

@Frid: From Twitch PoV ambiguous rules are great because they force people to self-censor themselves or get the hammer.

I don't think Twitch will actively hunt down tit streamers, just the ones who end up creating too much polemic.

The intent mainly seems to be keeping stuff intended to be lewd off of twitch, instead of, you know, just letting people flag their stuff as "18+" and being done with it like Youtube should also be doing.

They already had rules on erotic stuff, they just failed to enforce them. Now they made rules even less transparent and more ambiguous. I do wonder how will this work out. 10 bucks say gigantic trainwreck.

Sorry to say, I don't think that's how it works. Fan service cosplay is part of what they want to crack down on since their general goal is to stop people doing borderline cam shows on Twitch just using the games their playing as an excuse to be on the platform. So it would likely result in a flag.

Silly you, Jo. You are explicitly told not to take towels into the onsen.

Yeah, that is one dead collection of equipment in, like, week 1. Camera, Mic, all the gear is that makes you not look like an amateur is now completely lost.

And then Anne destroys her computer with the moisture.

Yes, I think that would be appropriate. Now do people still stream Marvel vs Capcom? Cause a Felicia cosplay would be nice.

I would have expected a sauna stream then, and yes hou can cosplay as widdow
