I'd suggest a tool so mods could accept or deny a bit message.

It happens that your streamer wants to roleplay but the chat is doing metagaming, right? Well, I used to think that sub mode or emote mode could've solved it, but there is always that enlightned user who sends bits and messes it up.

This case is the softiest. You also have hateful donos or spam that banning is not enough because if text-to-speech is enabled, the streamer ends up knowing.

At first my idea was to put all bits messages in automod queue so mods read them, accept them or not, but it's true that some streamers receive hundreds of donations so it could really be annoying.

So my final plan is to have a switch that allow the moderators:

1. Have control over all bit messages,
2. Have control over messages with banned words,
3. Not have control over bits at all.

Of course, if message is rejected, they get their bits back.

And this would be managed by the channel's owner.

Thank you and have a nice day!

I did not want to be part of the Twitch Cheering Experiment. I am a small streamer and rely heavily on my stream alerts gimmicks to fund raise. The Cheering Experiment has massively reduced my income and the platform takes a larger cut and it doesn't even do anything cool when someone donates.

Twitch sent a stealthy email on the 20th and only gave us til the 24th to opt out but I only found out yesterday. I can safely say I don't want to be part of the experiment and would like to opt out immediately. There should be a button to opt out. I can't even get support to manually remove me.

Really don't like the short notice and not being able to opt out.

Imagine being able to recycle Bits that have been cheered to you. You could either store them in your Bits balance, cash them out via PayPal, or Re-Cheer them to other streamers!

Other streamers, like myself, who are constantly having Bits cheered to us during our own streams would greatly benefit from this feature. It would be a great way for the Twitch community to interact with one another, to support smaller streamers.

Consider that not all streamers need the income. Some only stream for fun, or as a hobby, so the choice should be left up to each individual streamer. If they feel that they could benefit from the income, they can choose to cash out via PayPal. If they feel that another streamer could benefit from it more, they can choose to support others, instead.

It would also help, timewise, for streamers who are more dependent on Bit Cheers, as there wouldn't be a 30 day roll-over period before the Bits were able to be withdrawn. Streamers who need their earnings sooner would have the ability to withdraw when needed, rather than on a set schedule.

My idea to stop fraudulent bits and their impact on streamers is twofold: 1) Create a system or process that listens and supports streamers impacted by the complete removal of cheering for channels triggered by fraudulent bit donations. 2) Emphasize assessing security behind the bit donating process/software rather than punishing streamers who have received these bits from users taking advantage of this obviously weak security flaw.

Fraudulent bits are obviously a large problem for Twitch as a business; however, more importantly, these faux donations are a larger problem for streamers: the financial backbone and foundation of Twitch.

Currently, Twitch has an unclear and nonexistent communication process for streamers who have unknowingly received fraudulent bits and have, therefore, had this gifting option completely wiped from affected channels. Viewers can no longer financially support streamers who have been impacted this way. Streamers can no longer receive a substantial portion of their income. And finally, Twitch is negatively affected by this. If Twitch has no clear system on how to help these specific streamers, then they lose a large part of what makes communities so vital: camaraderie. Listen to streamers, strengthen communities, grow Twitch. That's all.

Many users like to work towards a badge goal when gifting subs and bits. Total subs gifted in a channel is already tracked each time someone gifts a sub, which allows the user to understand how close they are to the next sub badge (i.e. "PersonA has gifted a sub to PersonB. PersonA has gifted a total of 975 subs in the channel" -> now they know if they gift 25 more subs, they will get the 1K subs badge). I'm proposing something similar for bits, either publicly or locally so that the user can see their total bits contributed in a channel and continue to work towards their next badge.

Sometimes it can be difficult to block and ban friends you know.
So, you need to block the route of sending messages through chat and sponsorship. In this case, you can still use Bits to chat.
There is a way to block the maximum request price, but most streamers want to use it delicately, so the required price is low, and it takes a little longer and cumbersome to access this part to change it.
So Bits needs a quick accessible pause function.

It would be nice if the streamer could set this in the chat window options to make it easier to access from OBS or Chrome.
Or add a chat command

There are games within certain niches (e.g. the RPG Maker horror community) with more restrictive licenses on earning money from broadcasts of them than many other games. I'd like the ability to disable and re-enable bits (either whenever the streamer feels or on a per-stream basis) to allow for streaming these games without running the risk of unintentionally breaking their content guidelines by receiving a donation that I have no control over.

YouTube's streaming service offers the ability to freely disable their Super Chats and Super Stickers monetisation, making accidentally breaking usage guidelines in this way much less likely. Currently the only similar alternative I have on Twitch is to set my Bits minimum donation as high as it can go (10000 Bits). This is fine for most streamers, including myself, but it is not a 100% secure system for handling this issue. A toggle would help streamers stream more games on Twitch while remaining in line with the wishes of their creators.

A lot of streamers have fun and engaging interactions when viewers use certain amounts of bits (including those outside of third-party extensions like blerp/sound alerts). I believe it could be beneficial for Twitch, the streamer, and newer cheerer to allow streamers to set 1-3 "recommended cheers".

These would be displayed when someone opens up the bit menu, and the streamer could add a title and description in addition to the amount—much like channel points. This would enable viewers to more easily find special cheer amounts (such as if Cheer500 would make them eat a mystery jelly bean or something) without the need to use commands or try to find them amongst about panels.

From the viewer perspective, it should show "Cheer500 for {title}". Upon clicking the button it should ask for confirmation, and then either have an additional box to append a message to it, or just have it put "Cheer 500" into their chat box so that they still have an additional confirmation before sending it (to prevent accidental spamming of it).

improve the gifting. the gifting have different gif gift type. example 100 bit for a rose gif and option to choose how many to sent or custom numbers. Dont make it like this original like sent bit with same image. 1000 bit put another image. 2000 another image. and when make a combo of 1 time sending like 100 bits - 66 combo there will have a pop out gift gif at the chat.

and each 100 bits increase 10 exp to lvl the badge. 1 bits gift is 1 exp.
and open 1 special gift that when u sent 1000 bits there will have special bit gift (random) can increase the badge exp. but the special gift will counted in the revenue too. the spicial gift maybe( can let streamer to open and close at their chioce,1 day maybe 5 hour use) after 5 hour use will be automatic close) need to wait for refresh at 12.00am
if you wanna make twitch more people to watch this is even make twitch more fun right?

make all gifting all different.
and make free gift daily like sent heart. same, everyday refresh have free daily gift to increase exp of badge. maybe lvl 1 daily can have 5 free gift? lvl 2 increase maybe can have 10 free gift? lvl maybe 15 gift? + when they sub maybe can increase 10 free gift?

change the badge (how many bits) to become (exp)
maybe lvl 1 need 100 exp. lvl 2 need 400 exp. lvl 3 700 exp? this type i bet more viewer will wanna lvl up thier badge higher to lvl 30.
now currently is see the higher also less ppl willing to lvl up the badge
want more information can email me i can give example of images.

Its been several years since the 1.25M - 5M bit badges were added to accommodate those who've given that much support. Some people have already hit the highest 5M bit tier in some channels, I think it would be a good idea to increase this once again up to 10M.

If one were to continue the trend of widening the jump between the previous badges, there should be 5 additional badges added, in increments of 1M, (6M, 7M, 8M, 9M, 10M).

I've heard talk about Twitch experimenting with a different way to cheer without bits, and if that is to become the standard, I think this idea becomes even more important to give recognition to those who've given such a large amount of support using bits.
