Eliminate Moderated Message Notifcations in Chats
Users have no purpose in seeing when a comment has been moderated. The text should not simply have a stamp placed over it that shows everyone it was removed (social embarrassment pressure) but should be removed entirely from chat. It would allow for fewer data transfer to individuals who are performing as expected. It would reduce chat congestion. It would promote better engagement by streamers as they wouldn't have to scope though garbage comments to reply. If the message sender needs to be notified a whisper could be applied to them suggesting their comment was removed. No further information is necessary. Overall this "feature" is intrusive, retracts from the social experience, and promotes bad behavior by constant reminders that it gets attention.

no, the moderators and the streamer can still click those things and see what was actually said, and it's important that they can especially when you have more than one moderator watching the chat. being able to see what was deleted is important so that all of the mods and the Streamer understand in context why a person was timed out.
and it's useful for everybody else to know that a message was deleted and a person was timed out or banned so that they know that moderators are active, which helps deter would-be trolls, and gives the chat a reason to compliment the mods on their excellent work.
