  2. Time a user out for a given amount of time, during which time Twitch ads roll for them instead of the stream. If the specified time is not equal to the amount needed for an ad slot (i.e. rounded to 30/60/120 seconds), round the time up to the nearest applicable value. If necessary, streamers could not be reimbursed for the viewing of these ads to discourage their use to pad revenue.

  5. It would be nice if a MOD could deleat a messages from himself or another MOD.
    No one is perfect, maybe its a small spoiler or a word that is not fitting for a MOD.
    And sometime the Streamer cant go out of the Stream or would destroy a challange run.
    So it would be nice if a MOD could deleat a messages from himself or another MOD.

  6. With the removal of channel views - a good change, it was a redundant stat anyways - it stopped the number of channel views from going up, since it was no longer being counted. Issue being, clicking on a newer streamer's name in chat and bringing up their little user card, they will have 50-100 followers, whatever, but 0 channel views because they aren't being counted. It makes them look like they botted their followers and don't even stream. Might just be a overlook in the UI?

  7. Allow direct reply to a chat from muliple people , including a count for reactions - This is a major drawback for DJs streaming on Twitch vs Facebook live. The thread is more personal and hypes comments with counting of similar reactions.

  8. To add an option for caster and moderators to anonymously flag a chatter/viewer for tracking.

    For example: allow a caster/moderator for which the stream has low restrictions on account creation to flag a chatter that has an account created in the last few days for better visibility, be it immediate or in the future.

    Kinda like a flag for suspicious accounts manually set by the moderation.

  9. Make it possible to set up a personal filter of words. Sentences using that word will automatically no be displayed for me no matter what channel Im in.

    Why ?
    Many streams, especially of large streamers are filled with spam that provides no value for me and makes the chat unreadable. Examples are pepelaugh, kekw, lulw, pog etc.
    This is a personal preference and I dont think its realistic that I should need to run around and convince each streamer to ban the words I dont like.
    I also tried blocking all users using those words but they are so…

  10. I acknowledge that some parts of this concept has been requested in general, however I would like to offer a possible solution that will solve many of the suggestions at once, as well as offer further features down the line.

    ---Core Suggestions---

    I believe it would be beneficial to have chat bots strongly encouraged to note their account as such, and if possible, for known legitimate bots (bots that are known to serve a valid purpose, not lurk bots, stat scrapers, etc.) to be assigned a [bot] tag internally in the system, similar to how some other chat platforms handle…

  11. A lot of bots are used to create and use commands. Moreover twitch have a command system (with /, for example /mods /vips, etc) and use of commands spam chats.

    So the idea is to allow developers to access those slash commands, by adding an command via twitch API (as Discord did).
    It should prevent spam on chat.

  12. So, I was chatting and I noticed my timestamps were 7 minutes ahead of everyone else's. I re-synced my system clock via NTP...but then I wasn't able to chat for ~7 minutes because my previous message was sent from what my computer considered seven minutes IN THE FUTURE, triggering the flood protection message cooldown.

    I imagine it works in the other direction as well, in which case there's no way this isn't somehow exploitable.

    What other time-based protection is handled client-side in defiance of all reason? The timer to be let into follower-only chat after following? Moderation timeouts? I can't…

  14. Hi,

    I would like to be able remove myself from leaderboard of specific channel.
    I am able to do it globally in my account setting, but after supporting 100+ channels, I would like to be able to remove it from a specific one and keep the rest. I have supported few creators, which have been associated with some kind of drama and I have been harassed online for supporting them, eventhough I supported them before the drama.

    Is it possible to add some kind of feature to channel's chat or account setting to be excluded from specific leaderboards?

    Thank you

  15. As rules appear only once and not a lot of people really reads them in reality it would be a good idea to implement /rules command that would show the rules popup.

  16. When a mod deletes a message because of a rules violation of the steam a link to those rules should be in the deleted message. This could help the mods in a few ways. They would not have to spam messages in the chat about not using caps or spamming with a message that has words all in caps. they could just delete the message and it have a link in the deleted message so the user is not left to say, "WTF, why was my message deleted". Then they have to be told to read the rules, it is…

  17. Problem statement:
    There are numerous young streamers ( kids & teens ) on Twitch, that are an easy abuse target, by older kids, by adults , and worst of all, by criminals.

    Questions:
    1. How can I help Twitch , in contributing and in facilitating this change to protect those streamers ?
    2. Can I help by being part of Twitch taskforce to address this severe issue ?

    Possible solutions / Suggestions:
    1. Require any non-adult streamer to have verified accounts only for their chat audience.
    2. Chat audience of the verified accounts, must match the streamer age and may…

  18. Streamers with a stream deck have the ability to create a panic button that will do a slew of things. Turning on sub mode, slowing chat, clearing chat, setting a stream marker, capturing a clip for documentation.

    What if an sos command was created to do that for streamers that don't have the ability to have a stream deck?

    Currently the answer is to end stream until the hate raid ends. But what isn't being realized is that the streamer ending the stream is giving the hate raiders exactly what they want. With a command that controls tools twitch has…

  19. Change the chat to two separate areas, one for question and answers for classes, and one for just chatting during class. Also the option to save the chat for class questions and answers. Thank you.

  20. Hola.
    A la hora de querer participar en el chat de un streamer (chat modo lento), me deja solo enviar un solo comentario y después twitch o algo me bloquea o banea y no puedo comentar mas... me sale el mensaje de "Puedes chatear en 1 s 1 d" no se si es un bug, o el tiempo de espera para volver a mandar otro mensaje es ridiculo... "una semana"

    Me comunique con los moderadores del streamer que estaba viendo y me comentan que ellos no me aplicaron ningún ban o sanción y sospechan que es algo mas...

    Demás esta…
