Streamer Ability to Remove Founder Badges
As a lot of streamers are probably aware there are a lot of people who came by streams at the start who may have subscribed and got the founder badge but no longer show up, this means people who do still show up but missed out on the badge due to being the 11th sub etc can not have it, or if a partners channle 26th sub cannot have it.
I think the streamer having the ability to remove the founder badge from a user and have it go to the next available user would be very beneficial so they go to users who do show up still, do still subscribe and therefore are not going to waste.
Hey y'all! Just wanted to give an update on the Founders Badge improvements made. We recently announced on our Twitch Support Twitter that we were rolling back this feature to fix an issue some users were experiencing. We’re happy to say that the improvements we made to Founder’s badges are back online! You can learn more about this change here: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/founders-badge
Thank you for your patience - We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you continue to leave us your valuable feedback!

can we have founders badges revoked if we need to ban a account?
a few people who have one with me turned out to be some very ****** human beings.

I agree that we should be able to remove a founder from someone especially if they are banned

How has this not been implemented yet? The founder badge system is incredibly flawed and this should be a simple fix. Founder badges should be removed if someone is banned and blocked from your channel, and streamers should have the option to remove founder badges if an account hasn’t been in their channel for an extended period of time.
Done. Easy. Stop making us beg for every single little feature and do your jobs.

This should really be a thing. People who were around when you hit affiliate are not necessarily resubbing, just doing it for the flex at the moment you open them.

Honestly, I would love to see this. Especially as some people will "flex" the founders badge and become toxic towards others (i.e. "I was here first and thus am better than you").

In my opinion, it should be possible as an Affiliate or Partner to remove the Founders Badge of a specific user if that user has unfollowed the Streamer or if the user been banned from chat.
It just blocks a free space for someone who wants to get the founders badge and the Founders Badge won't be necessary anymore if the user won't return to the stream's chat (in case of an unfollow or chat ban).

For instance, if you could remove a specific founder badge off anyone, but usually inactive or even banned viewers that would be nice. So, you don't have this name sitting there with a badge that does nothing. It would get removed after inactivity or banned status then go on to the very next person in line.

100% Agree with this idea!

this needs to be a thing. I have a couple of founder badge holders who i had to ban for being verbally abusive towards myself and my partner and this feature would be amazing to allow someone else who has put in so much of their time to the channel to have a chance to earn something to show off to others.

Please do this :') there were people who specifically subbed to take a founder's badge and then never re-subbed. I'm either no longer friends/associated with those people or they just never come around. Please allow me to re-assign my founder slots.

I had person who original subscribed to me and ended up being really toxic which end in multiple people who left and such after receiving founders badges and I would really like to be able to give founders badges to the next few people who subscribed. All my founders badges were gone within the first two weeks of my starting to stream.... I feel like this could be beneficial to everyone including those who are loyal to the community but didn't find you immediately after you started streaming.

so i got some of users that didn't follow and never came and 1 of them a really homophobic person and i would really like to remove the founder badge from them and handle it to others if it's possible as an Affiliate Twitch Streamer and i don't like how especially that homophobic person still got the founder badge instead of good people having it

I have a couple lovely Founders who no longer use the accounts they earned their badges on. I would LOVE to be able to not only remove the old accounts from the list of Founders, but specify which accounts to replace them with. If that sort of customization isn't possible, at least removing them from the list so the badges go to the next active user in order would be better than leaving inactive, banned, and blocked accounts in the list.

2 years later and this is still a great idea. Please implement this. My "founders" are no longer active on twitch, save for 1.

Also curious, if a person with a founders badge gets banned do they keep the badge? Banned accounts and inactive accounts should have their badges removed!

PLEASE! My second founder badge is someone who came in during a raid, said “I like to collect these”, and hasn’t been around since.
