As a streamer, the colored text helps to denote bot messages. In quick moving chats, it’s easy to move over that text and discern it quickly. Italics are already becoming cumbersome to the eyes to follow and move on from the content. I understand that for color-sensitive eyes the italics can be helpful, but it’s putting others in a weird spot now. Can we get a toggle for this, the streamer can decide what the /me enables? I think that’s a fantastic idea.

Completely agree, twitch needs to consult it’s users before making these types of decisions.

People use the colorful messages for their bots or to bring attention to other helpful messages. The italics just don’t stand out enough. And if people are abusing the use of the colorful messages, the streamer/mods can block or time them out just like ANY other abusive behavior. Or, give the streamer the option to disable the command?

Italics are a lot harder to read for people with dyslexia or whom are visually impaired. If this were an issue of people who may be visually impaired not being able to tell the difference between a fake coloured donation then please make this an optional way of viewing /me on the user side. I personally still want to see coloured messages for emphasis, my bot messages, and in raid messages and would like to have the choice. While it’s such a small feature, /me is one of my favourite chat features on the platform and I do not want to see it go.

I also agree that colored chat should return. It was a great way to make your chat bot easily stand out while also ignorable.

Just give the creator control over this. Please stop deciding whats best for us.

Give streamers the option to enable / disable it!!

I have seen bots with a stop on "/me donated $" baked in. if this is doable for a bot, surely the same thing can be done via automod. please implement a ban on using "/me donated" within automod, and bring back colorful /me.

The removal of the nametag coloured /me respond in chat is just plainly dumb.

Firstly, the bots which post a fake donation use the word 'donated' - this word is not used on the platform except by the fake donation message, therefore this change has not fixed the problem.
Banning the word 'donated' fixes the problem instantly.

Coloured chat responses are great for:
1. It makes raids look awesome.
2. Bot responses in the alternate colour make them easy to find/ignore depending on what the viewer is desire.

The people involved in this change need to be sacked. They have broken a great feature and have failed to fix the issue at hand.

Please give the content creator the option to shut it off, or have it be VIP+.

This was a very poor choice without thinking of the visual impact. Please change it back.

AGREED!! Or make it like posting links in chat- only streamer, mods, and VIP's can use /me.

This is insane, bring it back.

I've been on JTV since 2008 and if you take away this /me cmd with color, idk what to do, Its not like ill stop using twitch. I may lose my love for the site, i just found out right now and it hurts me to see that my text isn't red... Why twitch, I understand people gonna troll and be mean but like, its /me, its the internet. I've seen people write death on a shotgun shell and load it into their shotgun on this site(im using liberty with the fact it was on jtv, but still) and i deserve a colored /me cmd.

Taking away such a useful feature without any warning is such a terrible idea. Worse is that you replaced it with something far less useful for streamers. I used the /me command to make sure important channel messages were seen, and there was never any misuse of the command in my channel.

Coloured text is very noticable, and incredibly important for moderators and especially bots with explaination commands in order to help them stand out. Please make italics another in-chat command and bring /me back to coloured text , italics do nothing to improve visibility of a message in a faster paced chat.
(And why italics anyway ? That's harder to read, bold wouldn't have been half as bad).

Please change this to have an option for the streamer to toggle the /me chat colors feature on or off for their channel! So many of us use it for positive things, helpful bot messages, etc. but would not want to completely ignore those who have trolling issues from the feature.
Making a toggle would give every streamer the choice of how the /me messages are formatted.

Following this same rule then let's put all user nicknames in the same color and in italics, absurd.
