Sometimes smaller channels get a large influx of people to the point that the existing community is drowned out and can't talk to each other. A channel I've been a part of for a year has 4000 viewers more than normal, and chat's moving so quickly the regulars can't even talk to each other. What about an auxiliary chat people can move to if the streamer has added them there for being a longtime community member? The streamer could either see both chats or the two chats weave into one on their end. And maybe this chat has a size limit, either in total or at a single time. So for example, 250 qualifying people at a time can be in this chat. If one leaves, then a spot opens up and another can come in.

Affiliates should have a global badge that separates them from the rest of the chat as broadcasters.
A broadcaster has that camera badge on their own channel, but when they are on another streamer's channel, they do now own a badge.

That badge will be benefiting working hard Affiliates that socialize in other channels and would help them get followers and gain new supporters. Also as a streamer myself, i would like to know when someone on my channel is a streamer so i can follow them too.

To avoid being overused by people who streamed for a little and then realized it's not for them, twitch can have some requirements to get and maintain the badge such as streaming hours p/month or total hours.

This feature will benefit both affiliates & twitch since revenue may occur from that.
To make things even more fair for the broadcaster that is being visited by "professional chatters", you can also give the option to channel owners to switch on/off broadcaster badge visibility from their chat channel.

If you guys do incorporate this idea, can you guys create a new badge like 'glhf' badge or Twitch prime badge specifically for people who have requested a feature that has been implemented into the Twitch system so we can get recognition and have proof to tell friends and show chat. I think that by making these badges, it would encourage more people to request for new features that could improve Twitch quality and the community as a whole. We could call it the 'Uservoice' badge or something along those lines and the badge icon could be a cute little light bulb that's sparkling. That's all from me though. Thanks Twitch for your cooperation and transparency. Keep up the good work! <3 xqcL

New Chat badge for how long you’ve been with Twitch I think it would be a neat feature for users to earn a chat badge for a specific amount of the time that they have been on Twitch.

In my opinion, a 5-year badge would be appropriate for this feature (i.e. If I created my account in 2011, I would earn a badge in 2016).
There can be a 1-year badge, 3-year badge, 5-year badge, 5+-year badge and then a Twitch founder badge for people that have created their accounts in 2011

This would also be a great way of saying thank you to those who have been using the website for a while and motivate those to remain on Twitch.

I also think there should be Birthday Badges that are shown globally for the people that are on Twitch the day that they created their account and or for their actual birthdays. Kind of like on Reddit were they have their own little 'Happy Cake day' something similar can be implemented into Twitch chat.

An Affiliate badge is something that is most needed for Affiliate streamers on Twitch. Affiliates should have a global badge that separates them from the rest of the chat as broadcasters. Kind of like the 'verified symbol' for Partners, but just specific to Twitch Affiliates. That badge will be benefiting hardworking Affiliates that socialize in other channels and would help them get followers and gain new supporters. Also as a streamer myself, I would like to know when someone on my channel is a streamer so I can follow them too. To avoid being overused by people who streamed for a little and then realized it's not for them, twitch can have some requirements to get and maintain the badge such as streaming hours p/month or total hours.

Developer Badge and a Verified Game Dev Badge. There should also be a Global badge for the number of streamers you are subscribed too. These are all very intricate ideas that could be implemented into the badge system that I think will improve the way chat interacts with one another. One last thing.

It would be really nice if you guys could implement little mini-games that chat could play while watching the stream. It could be sort of like 'Marbles on stream' that chat could engage in. I feel like when the stream is taking a short break or if there are ads running on the stream, for people in chat to stay engaged with the stream, making little mini-games for them to play would be the best way to do it. It could be Pac-Man, Tic-Tac-Toe, Snake, Connect 4, Uno, 8-ball, and Breakout. You guys can even make your own little 'Marbles on stream' game built into chat which would be really fun and interesting to play with hundreds of people in chat whenever you want without the streamer having to use do it themselves. The feature would be really cool and I'm sure everyone would want to join it, but for people that don't want to can have the option to opt-out of the game or opt back in when they feel like it. Some of these games like Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect 4, Uno, and 8-ball can be played with other people in the chat. If some games have copyright issues, just rename them something similar to what the game is. One last thing.

I think the current in-chat voting poll system is great and gives viewers the opportunity to have a say. But right now it also gives you the ability to see the percentage and the number of people that have chosen said poll while the poll is still going on and henceforth could change other people's ideas that are yet to vote on the pole leaving the pole one-sided and biased based on other peoples votes. I believe that while the streamer is creating a pole there should be an option for them to turn on ☐ 'Anonymous polling' which wouldn't show the votes in real time and would eventually show the poll winner and the rest of the results once the poll is completely finished. One last thing.
