I think it would be a wonderful community building idea, that benefits Twitch, streamers and subscribers equally. So, a streamer could combine with other streamers to form a small network of similar streamers (either friends, people they stream with often, etc.) in which all parties must consent to joining. This network could have a name, and maybe a widget on members' channel pages. In any network members' chats, all subscribers to any of the channels in the network will have all of their subscriber badges from the network (and only the network!) in front of their names.

I realize this is a lot of implementation for what really is a small feature, but eventually, the networks could develop into something greater; there's definitely potential in that idea alone.

This is also posted in the Subscriptions category!

So. I was updating the Roles Feature within my community section on my Twitch Dashboard.

I had a good friend of mine who is one of my loyal mods ban a viewer because of something unrelated to the stream.

I got looking after stream to see if there was any options for doing so with this. But I could not find anything for it.

You know how we have the ability under Channel Analytics that reads "Send Email To My Subscribers"?

Why not have that same function. But instead for Mods/VIP/Editor Roles?

I'd love to write up an email for my Mods/VIP/Editor Members of my Community in letting them know about their Privileges of being a Mod/VIP/Editor. Other than a few 3rd-Party Bots Such as StreamElements and Other Interactive Custom Chat Bots with Mod rights wouldn't matter as much.

A Majority of my Mods are also Editors. What I'd love to wright would be as simple as:

"Hello Fellow Moderator, I hope your day is going well.

You are receiving this email as I would like to remind you about your rights as a Moderator within the channel.

Just for a reminder. It's not about bragging rights and having the Mod Sword Badge next you your name in the chat. It's about being supportive and helping with Chat/Stream when things get busy and with the stream picking up, you're best to be ready for action.

Now I understand that as a Moderator for the Channel that you enjoy gaming/streaming/life and cannot be in the stream all the time. So that is fine. But should your presence be miss for an extended period of time, be aware that your privileges may be revoked at any time.

If you haven't been made aware of your Role(s) within this community. Just as a reminder that you are not only under the Role as a Mod. You are also under the Role as an Editor for the Channel.

As an Editor. You have a lot more In-Depth Accessibility within the Dashboards on the Channel. If you see something that could be useful for content within the channel that is safe within Twitch TOS. Then you may take action upon your Editor Role and your Mod Role.

If you're unaware that you have had the Role as an Editor since the time of earning your Role as a Mod. I strongly recommend that you follow up on the Roles Article from Twitch: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/Managing-Roles-for-your-Channel?language=en_US

Looking forward to seeing you during the next stream!"

Now you might be asking if you were a Mod, "What is this email?" or "Have I been an Editor this entire time while I've been a mod and haven't been made aware of this?"

To answer those is all stated within the email.

Another big factor of this is to make sure if your Mod/VIP/Editor Community Members aware of any changes. Even with having platforms like Discord, some of those Community Members may not even have a Discord or Refuse to make a Discord Account. So this email is always a great method to reach out to you community much like contacting your Subscribers via Email

There is times where new people enter the chat and dont know what the game is about or what topic is the streamer currently talking about, etc.

There should be a "Description button" which the mods and streamer could edit anytime or disable and enable easily which would open a mini box when clicked on it ,containing the Explanation of the game, or the the current topic, description, or them of the stream.

This would help newcomers to the stream and also viewers who just enter to know whats happening right away, instead of having to ask , or google all the time.

So i noticed this a lot. But certain Game developers host streams where they do a certain run down through quests.. They will edit the main title to 'X quest SPOILER ALERT'.

Wouldnt it be a awesome idea to have a feature to make the user prompt with a verification that theres a spoiler going on; and if they wish to continue watching. So you dont accidently slip in (on certain devices you dont see the whole title) and get spoiled.

Of course the streamer should decide if he/she only can only do it or can leave it up to mods as well.

We appreciate that Twitch is primarily a gaming platform which delivers strong, repeating revenue streams and justifies the high valuation for the business.
Your infrastructure allows for musicians/DJs/live acts to broadcast and permit multiple acts from all over the world to participate on one channel using one stream key - it's works brilliantly (even on the free version) and suits the purpose of what so many people globally are doing right now. However, copyright issues on replaying the recorded copy that Twitch makes available for 14 days (60 on Prime). This creates headaches and annoyance for many of the users who are not gamers and use your service for music broadcast only. My suggestion is to look closely at the Mixcloud Live Beta concept closely and perhaps produce a break out version of the current product on a subscription paid basis where you negotiate an agreement where artists are being paid similar to Mixcloud Live and you won't have to mute pieces of DJ's sets or cause them headaches. As a commercial director of a successful revenue growth generating company you will discover a whole new revenue stream open up to you.

I have many other ideas on how Twitch can capture significant revenues by carving out a product more focused and targeted for those in music industry and would be open to discussing these with a potential view to working directly with you.

Thanks
