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!

I had a general idea and saw some other people post recently on Twitter. In my own case, one of the first 25 founders for me, subscribed to my channel, but I later banned him because he was parasocial and harassed others in my chat. He has been banned in my chat for the last 3-4 years and will always be banned. I will never unban him.
But - there lies the problem, he was one of my founders, technically, just by luck of the draw. If someone is banned (maybe to avoid abuse, for a certain amount of time - 1 year, months, etc) that was a founder, their founder badge should be removed and be shifted to the 26th subscriber, 27th subscriber, etc. The next few people who subscribed after him, very much still frequent my channel.
I know it's something a bit obscure, but I feel this is a slight oversight or something that was never considered while implementing founder badges.

I think this idea has its merits but i do believe it should just keep going along the line till it has hit somebody that is not currently banned. If it is left to a streamer to decide there should be restrictions put in place to prevent them from giving it to anybody as that badge honestly is for those that are founders those that were the first group of people to subscribe its not a VIP Badge where it can be given to whomever when ever

I would love this! Some of my founders badges went to gifted subs of people who have only been in my stream once. Loved members of the community who have subbed for many months and are in the streams every single time deserve this badge more and I don't want to wait for partner because they were number 11 and 12.

Love this idea! Had to ban a couple of my founders due to various reasons and would love to have the option to give their founders badges to another early subscriber

i would appreciate the ability to remove the founders badge from the individuals who have been emotionally abusive and subsequently banned/blocked. they did not help my channel. they hurt it. they hurt the channel. they hurt me. they hurt my community. they hurt Twitch.

+1 being able to reassign or assign founders badges would be a nice feature and is a very simple one.

Also because falling outs. I have personally banned people who, unfortunately, over the Covid year have become toxic because they are too proud to seek therapy over their depression related issues.
And I have no intention of letting them back unless they show a significant chgange in behaviour (which they most loikely will not). I woul,d rather it went to a person that supports -

I see this is a great idea its hard to know if your a founder on a channel or not, If the tab in where your subs are or show the founders bad not the sub badge on the channels

I can also support this, I have some people that just "took" the founders badge but dont really support the stream nor even resub. It would be a good idea to get rid of someones badge and let someone of interest to that channel enjoy that badge and most likely resub and support that person.

I agree with this, I have a Founder Badge to this streamer which I don't watch anymore.

I 100% agree on this. 7/10 of my founders just stopped talking to me and stopped supporting me and my streams. Now there are subscribers that I wish had the founders badge instead of my old ones. I really hope this becomes a thing

there are some people who subscribe and never come to the stream or resub !
but they like to have the badge !!
also they no longer follow the channel.just make it easy way like :
1 : if the account have not send anything in chat for 50 days but his account is active.
2 : not following the channel !
those people who just like to have the badge even they dont come to the stream are ruining it for everybody who has +12 months sub !!
