Verified status for everyone and /verifiedonly chat mode
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 verificationPros:
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…4,010 votes -
Established accounts only -chat mode
Currently we have all kinds of ways to block various people from chatting, except the most important one: People avoiding bans by creating new accounts.
Thus we should have a new mode that only allows users with "established" accounts to chat, i.e. the account must be reasonably old.
Continuing with the theme of follower-only mode this should likely be configurable, with the number of days since an account was created for the user to be able to talk.
Suggestions for default: 7, 30, 90, and 180.
Even requiring 7 days since the account was created will make it significantly more…

Let chants be optional instead of removing them
I know Twitch says the feature seemed to cause a decrease in viewership during their testing, but there are so many other factors that can affect that and many streamers who got to try out the chant feature really enjoyed it. I think it’d be better to make it an optional feature rather than remove it entirely, and let people decide on their own if it works for their channel.

View twitch chat in VODS
Hello, I believe a better suggestion would be for viewers to be able to see the twitch chat while watching vods.
I belive what makes twitch, twitch, and not something like youtube, is be able to see and participate in chat.

Live Chat Translation
Live Chat translation. I understand there is a variety of languages out there that people speak and only certain channels will allow x amount of languages due to chat moderation and such. But it would be a cool feature for mods to be able to use or for chat users/streamers to be able to interact with the community more! Instead of just saying we don’t allow that language or so the user doesn’t have to translate it using a 3rd party app. Ik there is extensions you can use but would be nice feature for twitch to have. Amazon did…

Add a notification sound for new messages in chat that plays when you are tabbed out.
Add ability to turn on a notification sound for new messages in channels you are in, but you are tabbed out. It could be set to: notify about every message, notify about friend message, do not notify about new messages. The sound could be a simple BLIP sound.

Phonetic spelling for Twitch usernames
TLDR; Twitch members would really benefit from users having an option to add phonetic spelling to their profile.
Whenever someone comes into chat, I like to ask how their name is pronounced. This often means that new followers’ first message is how their name is pronounced, or lurking users may be pulled out of their lurk to explain how it is pronounced. For some, requests like this may even be microaggressive.
A solution to this would be an opt-in feature for phonetic spelling, where the phonetic spelling of the username is available on their page and when hovering over their…

Add a symbol that imitates line-break
Sometimes you need to post information to your channel that is best viewed when its multiline, like a table with header and rows, list of items or some mini-report from the channel bot.
Since IRC can't use CRLF in messages, I suggest adding a way for channel mods (avoids abuse) to use a special symbol (or double-space as in markdown) that would visually act as a line break.
That way it would be possible for mods (users and bots) to post quick summaries to the channel that are easy to read and do not require several posts to make it…

Moderator banner
I am a moderator of a Twitch channel which regularly has more than 1000 spectators. When we want to convey a message to viewers, it is often difficult to read...
I propose to add a new feature to moderators so that they can display a visible banner of all (as, for example, that of bits donations).
Thanks in advance.64 votes -
Making slow mode available per user
Being able to add slowmode to a specific person. If there's no reason to time them out or outright ban, making it so they can't spam every second. Can slow them down from behind the scenes!

New chat mode, 'Anti-backseat Chat Mode'
An idea that would help streamers control chat from back seating when playing puzzle games.
Allowing mods to put singular users into emote only mode if repeat offenders.
Allowing extra blacklisted words and phrases to be activated when only in this mode. (blacklisting things like 'the other way' 'wrong shape' ect ect.. for aslong as the mode is active.
Adding a banner somewhere in chat or overlay somewhere letting users know anti-backseat mode is active and not to do it.

Allow the ability to switch chat to the left side of the screen
Allow the option to have chat on the left side of the window and the other options like the search bar and the friends list on the right side. Reason being that with dual monitor setups, if I'm playing a game on my left monitor, the chat is much farther away from my line of vision, reducing the ability to mod effectively

Add The Ability To Add Nicknames To Followers
There have been many times where a follower in chat has asked to be called a certain name, other than their Twitch username. If there is a way that the streamer can assign a nickname to a person in chat, that only the streamer can see, I think that would be helpful and a way to connect even better with regular viewers.

New Chat Badge for Time on Twitch
Good afternoon everyone!
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).
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.
Users should also be able to enable/disable the badge in their settings…

Add 24 hours timestamp format
To turn on or off the timestamp for chatmessages is a great feature but, it's very annoying you can't select 24 hours format. Please add an option to select between 12 and 24 hour time format.
