It feels counter-intuitive as a streamer to not want to accept a raid... But when you can't properly thank the raider/give them the time/gratitude they deserve, it'd be better to be able to almost say "come raid next time, so I can properly accept the raid!"

On the other side, as a raider, you often feel bad about putting someone in a position they don't want to be in and that you "wasted the raid". You'd almost always prefer to raid someone who's keen on being raided and raid the other person on a different day when they aren't wrapping up yet too!

100% agree, i've been on both sides of this coin and this would be a great feature!

Practically, on-demand commands like /raidson and /raidsoff would also be helpful, so if a streamer tries to Raid another streamer who doesn't want to be raided, they will receive a message to find another Raid target. This could be useful in many scenarios: when ending stream, when discussing something sensitive/personal and extra hype isn't wanted, or if a streamer is experiencing an influx of hate raids, as examples.

I am aware that Raids can be turned on/off somewhere in Settings, but it is inconveniently buried and hard to find quickly, so it would be nice to have a quick chat command to toggle between the two modes.

Heck, this is brilliant

/ending
/raid WHOEVER
"Couldn't raid WHOEVER because their stream is ending soon"

This! I have been waiting for this feature for so long!

It would be really nice as a mod to have the ability to toggle this, even if only as Editor.

I agree this would be nice, even a StreamDeck button maybe. Would make a super useful addition!
