I would appreciate a very helpful feature for a lot of streams.

Feature/Requirements:

1) Make verifications and a verified status available for every user
2) Mark verified users with a badge on the profile page
3) Mark verified users with a badge in the chat
4) Implement a /verifiedonly chat mode
5) Link multiple accounts to the same verification

Pros:

With the above mentioned features Twitch would become a safer and nicer place for everyone.
With the option for users to verify their accounts with their ID card, driver's license, or Amazon account and a chat mode for verified users only, a lot of spam, scam, harmful behavior, and ban evasions could be prevented. A chat ban of a verified account results in a ban for all the accounts linked to the same verification. Also a platform ban of a verified account results in a ban for all the accounts linked to the same verification. This procedure would make ban evasion more harder.

Cons:

This would result in a higher administration effort.

Due to an extremely large amount of streamers getting trolled to the point they no longer want to stream, I feel that if someone gets banned/blocked from a streamers chat then they should no longer be able to even view the stream. When the troll types the streamers name into the search bar then that streamers name should not appear, just like how it works on any other site. Allowing the troll to view the stream can still cause stream sniping and other things that gives the troll the incentive to troll and harass even further. Im speaking from experience here. Even though ive had to ban hundreds of accounts I still get the troll making alt accounts and having their username being a family members name or my address. This needs to be sorted asap.

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.

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. 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

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.
