Abusive mods must be moderated
Mods are banning users across multiple channels without reason.
Owners of channels need more transparency when it comes to bans from rogue mods. These mods are blatantly abusing their powers to ban users from channels that they have never even chatted in. These users are bringing this issue up to other mods like myself, and I've experienced it personally from corrupt mods. We need more methods of dealing with rogue mods that are banning users. They need to flag users, and have owners of channels make the final move. This current method is empowering people that have no reason being mod to abuse their positions across multiple channels.
These innocent users need more serious ways to bring this issue forth to channel owners directly in a huge way as to clear their name.
I suggest a democratic system when it comes to bans from mods. The owners of channels may still do what they like, however, we should make it so that mods need at least another person or two to check why they decided to ban a User for no reason or for personal reasons that may not align with the channel's owner.
Hey there,
We appreciate this feedback but, as long as the channel is following our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service they are free to moderate their community which ever way they see fit.

Yikes. This is a huge issue that needs to be resolved. I agree with your democratic solution and allowing channel owners to be more aware of random bans. No users should be abused on Twitch and this should be a safe place for everyone. Shame on these users that are taking advantage of their positions to abuse others.

These same abusive mods are also using other toxic tactics such as threatening owners of channels that they won't be raided by other channel owners who aren't even aware of this situation, that they would get no raids if random users they're targeting aren't banned. A large portion of the time, these channel owners aren't even aware that these mods are abusing their position to name drop channel owners for such threats.
I've seen it happen to a few channel owners. Users that have done this with clear chat logs / messages towards other users to abuse them include nitemare_on2 and GingerK813. These same users have also threatened channel owners with no raids if they don't ban random users. This is blatant abuse of power and clear evidence of corruption.
I suggest a Twitch developer starts implementing tools of justice so corruption doesn't affect our society.
