@pokimanelol suggested you guys add an option to completely block a message that contains one of the words on the channel's banned words filter, instead of replacing the word with **** or <message deleted> or something ? Just like with r9k mode or a chat with a chat delay they would get a message their word is on the banned word filter

Could even add an extra option to time out those people for 1-10 minutes for using those words.

For larger channels this could also prevent a lot of clutter in chat, cos the chatbots won't have to time out those people either, saving a lot of <message deleted> deleted messages and bots telling people why they were timed out. (Cos most streamers prefer to have their bot tell people why they were timed out, instead of just leaving them in the dark)

Didn't seem like an option that was that hard to implement, so I made a post for her.

These days there are more and more spammers in twitch chat which is irritating when anyone needs to ask the streamer/any other person any questions in chat.

Could you please add a feature to ignore a user in chat. It shouldn't be too difficult to implement as it can just be fixed on the client side by clicking the name of the user and selecting ignore. (A good example is Azubu.tv ).
Ignored users can then be shown in a separate section in chat settings if you want to remove them from the ignore list later.

A side benefit of this can be that it makes it easier for Twitch staff to see which user is spamming/etc. by seeing how many times he's been ignored.

This won't take away from anyone's experience but only yours so its not impacting anyone else

There are a ton of really cool global badges that are no longer obtainable due to Twitch no longer selling games on the site. Seems a shame that these icons were created by some talented staff but nearly no one has them.
It would be neat to see them put out to the public again in some fashion.

Emotes are a huge draw for limited time events. People LOVE getting new emotes and showing them off. But the emote list is getting a little chonky. Maybe in the future we could have limited time events but earn new badges as well? Gives the users something they can showcase and further customize their presence in chat without adding much bloat.

Sorta like the last event badge. The Direct Relief snowflake in 2018. Heck, maybe I'm just salty I missed out on it, haha.

Sorry if this isn't in the best category and thanks for all the changes in the last few years :)

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. It will be reviewed by a moderator'.
