Setting "unpin message if categorie gets changed"
I suggest to create a setting for pinned messages to get unpinned if the categorie changes.
Often pinned messages are only relevant while the stream is in a specific categorie.
A setting to account for that and make it possible would make moderating easier. This would be a great feature especially in big streams on channels which sometimes change their categories.

That’s a very practical suggestion, especially for larger streams where category switches happen frequently. On platforms like Twitch, pinned messages are often highly context-specific—such as rules for a particular game, event details, or sponsor notes—and when the stream category changes, those messages can quickly become irrelevant or even confusing. Introducing a setting that automatically unpins messages when the category is updated would streamline moderation and reduce manual work for mods, particularly during fast-paced broadcasts. For example, just as a website might display different featured content depending on its section—like highlighting unique peacock names in a dedicated article such as https://turbanmagazine.com/peacock-names/ stream chats could dynamically adjust pinned messages to match the current category, ensuring viewers always see accurate and relevant information.
