Flagging messages as spoilers / Setting the channel to spoiler sensitive
The idea behind flagging messages as spoilers is allowing people to have a discussion without ruining the experience for others.
Mods would be able to flag a message as a spoiler, making the message hidden for the user until they click on it to reveal it.
Another idea would be a command for mods to set the channel to "spoiler sensitive" which allows viewers to self-flag their messages as potential spoilers if they are not fully sure about what is allowed to talk about or not.
Having this only allowed only whenever the channel is specifically set to this mode…93 votes -
Established accounts only -chat mode
Currently we have all kinds of ways to block various people from chatting, except the most important one: People avoiding bans by creating new accounts.
Thus we should have a new mode that only allows users with "established" accounts to chat, i.e. the account must be reasonably old.
Continuing with the theme of follower-only mode this should likely be configurable, with the number of days since an account was created for the user to be able to talk.
Suggestions for default: 7, 30, 90, and 180.
Even requiring 7 days since the account was created will make it significantly more…

Creating a restriction for bots to fight spam
There are people on Twitch, who have a program that allows bot spamming in chats. They buy accounts somewhere in the form of login:oauth:token and connect them to their program.
They used to spam ads to promote themselves, now they do that to create conflicts between streamers or just to mess with streamers.It is possible to get an Oauth:token through the Twitch API request, using apps verified by Twitch.
If I understood correctly from the developer's words, Twitch can get info about a token that sent the message.What do I suggest to deal with the problem is to…

Adding pronoun information to chat
For people who are trans and/or non-binary, letting streamers know your pronouns in chat so that your gendered correctly can either be awkward or difficult. An option for people to add their pronouns in brackets beside their usernames or in their profile cards in chat might help to let the streamer and/or chat know if a user feels it's important.

Allow broadcasters and moderators to pin important messages in chat
This applies more to the mid to larger streamers but can be useful for the site as a whole I think.
If a person of importance is trying to communicate with the streamer then this would make it much easier for them. You may ask, why not just whisper? Well whispers aren't always suitable for those who have them disabled or for those who don't want to halt their stream to check them. The message may also be urgent so the streamer may not have time to check or may have their hands full.
This feature could also be used…

When clicking on a username in chat, see which channels you both follow
Similar to Twitter, so when you click on a user's name in chat you will see:
A "follows you" tag so you know if they are following you, if you happen to see them in another channel's chat
An option to view "channels you both follow" so you know if you have any other channels in common
People often say they see similar names in other chats and it would be really useful to know what channels/interests you share with other Twitch users.

Hide emote spam in chat
When watching popular channels, the chat is often a wall of emote spam not saying anything, and any 'actual' chat messages disappear too fast to read. It would be very useful to hide any messages that are just repeated emotes.

Delete your own message
It would be very nice, if it's possible to delete your own message in the chat. It happens sometimes that you write something what sounds pretty good in your mind, but if you read it in the chat after sending it, you recognize that it wasn't such a cool Idea to post it or you mention by yourself that your message is stupid and want to delete it. A cool way to implement this would be, if you add a little bin between the own message, that you can easy delete it by clicking on them.

"more messages below" gets in the way
In slow-moving chat the “More messages below.” text obscures the last message. Maybe it would be better if it was a bit lower down so we could read the last msg?

Chat API Hook Before Distribution
Provide an API hook to extension developers which notifies on each received message before it is going to be distributed to the users.
Bots can only delete already delivered chat messages afterwards. Clients can intercept the deletion. Furthermore it is not possible to write own chat commands for now.
With a hook, if a user types '/do something', extension developers were able to prevent the delivery of the message and perform some action instead.
Beyond that I would like to see API calls to send chat notifications to specific users - just like 'your message has not been sent yet.…

The option to show only a chatbar but not the actual chat
The theater mode is already a step in the right direction! However, many streamers implement a live chat on their screen and in these cases it would be great to only have a chatbar in you UI to type messages but not see the actual chat. Because now you have to see the chat twice if you want to join in conversation with these streamers and this feature would make it so that you can almost watch in full-screen while still talking!

Collapsable Community Gift Chest for Chat
Having this enabled cuts off about 10% of chat from a viewer perspective.
Rather than disabling it or have viewers by multiple means removing it from view on their own. Perhaps a collapse arrow for the module can be introduced to bring the chat window back to it's fullest state.

Allocation for cheering and allocation of followers in the chat like as subscribers.
Why not do it like in other competitors so that for example cheering messages hang at the top for a while and that they can be read while they hang there at the top. And make a selection of simple followers as it is done for subscribers, you can also do it for a while, for example, the icon with an avatar hung at the top of the chat and then disappeared.
