  1. I watch a lot of streamers who are extremely picky about people dropping hints/spoilers in chat. Often times people innocently will drop hints/spoilers only to be scolded or muted or banned. It would be nice if there was a "hint's/spoilers" button that highlights on or off in chat that allows you to send hints/spoilers via a special highlighted message in chat. (This might help prevent people from accidentally posting hints/spoilers). OR when you enter the stream it gives you a warning like the "this stream contains adult themes" are you over 18? (press yes or no) splash screen. But in…

  2. Yo.

    You know the twitch chat: a lot of people are flooding the same emote or the same meme message. On the other hand there’s always a few lunatics who are trying to send a longer message or actually a fresh and relevant comment (not me tho) but it instantly disappears in the flood.

    I could easily imagine the chat to have 30 second stacking window and the message that gets duplicated kind of stays in place and maybe its number grows with more spam, giving room and slowing down the chat allowing for more meme, while flooding will still…

  3. The profanity filter is not working for the "s" "h" "i" "t" word. It has never worked. Other curse words are blocked with asterisks.

    I have "Chat Settings" > "Chat Filters" > '"Enable chat filtering" on and "Profanity" on. The others are off.

    Please fix.

  4. There is no good reason to not give us an option to disable auto joining raids. I like to leave twitch on when I leave the house, today I came back and apparently a normal streamer raided some subhuman e-whoring vtuber with **** out. Great thing for my family to see. Done with twitch until this behavior is fixed.

  5. A special chat instance where banned and timed-out users get sent so they can all troll each other to death. Ideally, they wouldn't be able to tell immediately when they got sent there. The chat they got banned or timed out from would just stop; then, when they try to send another message there, they start seeing replies from "chat jail".

    Also, if a user gets sent to chat jail from too many channels, chat jail gets displayed for them on every channel all the time.

  6. There are bugs with the Twitch chats. Other people's messages disappear when I type in the chat, this applies to all streamers' chats. Then the chat also resets after 2-3 messages from other people.
    Please solve this.

  7. The main idea is to make it easier to visually separate one chat message from the ones next to it.

    A few options:

    1. Different background colors for messages (alternating between white and light gray for Light Mode; alternating between black and dark gray for Dark Mode)

    2. Smoother movement when a new message comes in (instead of instantly jumping by however many lines the new message takes up)

    3. Thin lines between (or around) chat messages. Bubbles around messages would make messages very easy to differentiate, but they also take up more space.

  8. THE PROBLEM

    New viewers often struggle to integrate into Twitch chats, especially when they’re unsure about the community’s vibe or the streamer’s preferences. This can result in awkward, off-topic messages that get ignored, leading to disengagement. Streamers face the challenge of helping new viewers feel welcome while keeping the chat engaging for regular participants.

    PROPOSED SOLUTION: VIBE CHECK

    What Is Vibe Check?

    Vibe Check is an integrated set of chat guides designed to help new viewers engage with ongoing Twitch chat discussions in a natural and relevant way. It uses context-sensitive prompts that guide new users when their messages don’t…

  9. SYNTAX CHECK
    STOP pushing through rule breaking chat.
    After posting in a chat a comment with to many ?????, I received a 5 minute timeout. And for 5 minutes I am wondering why I was even allowed to post in the first place.

  10. Allow users to upvote a chat message, or tag/react to it as funny/smart/agree etc. With enough upvotes or tags, that message is highlighted or enlarged in some way. When it scrolls to the top it is stuck or pinned there for a few seconds before scrolling away.

    Can you please clarify this request? Sorry, but we weren't able to figure out what it meant. Please provide a bit more detail. Thank you.

  12. Filter chat by badge. For bigger streamers with quick moving chats to quickly filter chats by badges that users have so they can read messages they might otherwise miss.

  13. Recently, there appears to be a significant problem with bot accounts posting unsolicited links for the "cheap viewer" scam. While it's possible for individual accounts to block links entirely, this doesn't resolve the issue of the bot account as a whole.

    To this end, I believe there should be a ban on any account where their first time chat in a given channel includes any kind of link. This would be an option set by Twitch themselves and not configurable by streamers individually. In addition, it would also be helpful if a system could be put in place where any…

  14. In recent months, a number of fake and bot accounts have been spamming messages saying "Best Viewers on cutt.ly/........" or "Cheap Viewers on cutt.ly/........" . They are posting fake links that lead to fake follower websites that, by suspicion, would lead to hacks and other people's accounts becoming compromised. In Mod View, under Modes, and in Blocked Terms, I tried listing "Best Viewers on cutt.ly/", "Best Viewers," and "Cheap Viewers" as blocked terms in hopes of preventing future fake accounts from spamming the same message. But this has not worked at all.

    Dear Twitch Support, you need to buckle down…

  15. Since it is possible to add a user as an Editor of our channel it would also be useful to create a Badge for such a person, which will show who oversees the channel and helps us with it. People who win some awards often do not know which person to report to and write to each moderator.

  16. I think, viewers need a waiting time to understand the status of the stream.
    I would like to see a configurable waiting time so that we can't chat right after visiting. (0 seconds/10 seconds/30 seconds/1 minute)

    For example, this would prevent viewers from chatting upbeat greetings that don't fit the occasion when the streamer is talking about something serious.

  17. Some chats like to jokingly tie votes in polls and sometimes streamers don't like that

    Have a tie breaker opt in option that makes it so the earlier vote counts.

    For example, if the votes go 3-3 > 4-3 > 4-4 the left option will be picked.

  18. Adding the ability for users to use their own avatars as chat icons would bring a playful and unique touch to our communication. It would be a great way for new members to express themselves and feel more connected to the community.

  20. Often I see someone's chat message and I just want to react with an emoji/emote, but replying and tagging the user with just an emote isn't really the same and can get spammy, especially with multiple reactions from different people. This is DEEPLY ingrained in Discord culture, and seeing your message get several reactions is quite rewarding.

    Attaching the reaction to the chat message would increase engagement and decrease spam. It would also increase the value of unique channel emotes by adding new contexts for their use.
