A few years ago, I posted an idea of an Improved Editor role, but since then that post has become a bit outdated.

In reality, it’s more than just the editor role that needs to be improved, so let’s breakdown what each role should be.

Editor - Should be able to highlight and clip/manage clips and adjust the overall appearance of a streamer’s channel.

Features/Abilities:

• Edit highlights and publish them

• View analytics just like a streamer can

• Manage clips, adjust their lengths, and titles. Credits could say Clipped by and then edited by

• Should have a badge maybe a pencil or something

• Submit emotes and badges and everything else on behalf of a streamer and adjust artist credit

• Should be able to give Emote Artist role

Moderator - should be able to ban, and view necessary information to do so.

Features/abilities:

• Moderate viewers (ban, timeout, etc.)

• View shared ban information with more details (maybe a preview of the chat messages that were from the other stream or even a ban reason or if they were unbanned/appealed)

• IP ban ability (there’s too many people who just evade permanent bans, and Twitch report system does nothing to help. Should be able to flag an account for suspected ban evasion, and have it inspected by Twitch to see if they have multiple accounts)

Overall mod abilities are probably the best Twitch has right now but could also be improved a bit.

Channel Manager - This would be a new role who basically acts as an admin. Some channels have multiple streamers, co-owners, or co-hosts and they should be able to be given admin roles.

• Unique badge (maybe a gear or shield or crown or something)

• Be able to do basically everything a streamer can do but for the specific channel.

Emote Artist:

Emote artist badge isn’t bad, but I’ve noticed they need to approve it on their end before getting credit, that should be defaulted approval. artists aren’t regularly available to approve or disprove emotes, it should just automatically give them the role and the credit.

Any other ideas, post them down below in the comments. Hopefully these ideas can actually be implemented.
