Creators and Stream Features: Raids

(thinking…)

Accept or deny incoming raids

Give streamers or their moderators the ability to accept or deny incoming raids, with a default state to be set by the streamer. At the moment streamers can choose to only be raided by friends or teammates, which increases safety at the cost of discoverability. This will give some peace of mind in the midst of hate raiders.

Alternatively, a moderator command to "Purge all raiders", if a raid has been malicious - a one stop shop to time out / ban all accounts that came in with a recent raid.

    Some good ideas here!
    The closest thing we have at the moment is the Pause Raids function.

    That said, I think Twitch has dramatically improved channel based moderation, including the ability in mod view to multi-ban accounts! Lots has happened in 3 years!

    I think it would be fairly simple to narrow raid group information down, so that you can blanket ban users based on what Raid they came from.

    I disagree with this what twitch needs to do is moderate their platform better track down on the users who have been causing issues for streamers and viewers alike and give them a device and/or IP Address ban

    I would like to second the suggestion made by @cerpintext - the ability to auto accept raids under certain conditions would allow raids to remain surprising and a fun way to build a shared community. - having received trolls and hate and spam in my chat all week, I am starting to loose faith in twitch. I hope they will implement something soon.

    Similar to the idea of denying incoming raids - once it is determined that the raid is malicious, the mods/streamer can ban/remove all raid members with one click. (+Are you sure you want to ban all raid members for *raidname*)

    Issues with this: 1. they will just privately join the channel in raid-like fashion.
    2. rare chance of getting 2 raids at once, one from a 'friend' and another 'malicious' and banning friendly viewers.

    This is the closest idea to mine - Option to Ban All Raiders - removes and bans all raiders when the mods/streamer determines they are bots/hate raiding.

    Prevent 'hate raids' from bots by including the option to disable raids from any accounts not currently followed by the user being raided. Additional options could include but are not limited to: editable blacklist/whitelist, allow raids from streamers watched for more than a period of time defined by the user, and/or restricting raidsofrom accounts that were created within a timeframe defined by the user.

    Great ideas. And as much as I love the surprised faces of raided streamers, they should have the opportunity to finish what they wanted to tell their viewers. So kind of a 'knocking at streamer's door' feature would be nice. The streamer can decide at that moment to open the door or not. To have visual insight into the stream one want to raid (like into a window), might be discussed.
  • SailingOcelot commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is a very good idea. I've seen quite a lot of hate raids now against streamers I follow and I think this could help.
  • Loznt commented  ·   ·  Report

    More security and safety for creator's would mean that advertisers would be better protected so it's really in twitches best interest to implement this
  • karolus_minor commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was about to submit an idea about raid tags on users. Your idea is basically an application of that idea.
  • CarrieTheOne commented  ·   ·  Report

    Seems like a simple addition and another way to add customizable security for each creator on your platform.
  • tiwosslave commented  ·   ·  Report

    along with this, i suggest the name of the raiding streamer appear in the automod window, in case multiple raids occur at once and the "purge raiders" option be on a list of current and previous raids with an option to simply timeout the raiders or to full on ban them (incase u're not sure which raid is the offending party)...

    and the other options accepting or denying raids be in the same place where u can turn all raids off, just add more conditional options rather than just off and on... and the accept or deny in the moment of potential raid be in the automod window as well...

    oh, and i almost forgot... the addition of a tip or hint or whatever type of documentation to show how to use these features in the event of a hate raid, perhaps in the beginner guide to streaming and elsewhere for experienced streamers
  • cerpintext commented  ·   ·  Report

    This but with the addition that it auto-accepts raids from anyone the broadcaster already follows, or where it can work on a condition-format, as in it will auto-accept any partners, affiliates, or any other relevant condition.
  • ItzSykadelic commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed! Also to add the ability to check their profile before you decide!
