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 agree, I have a lot of founders who were subscribed and then abandoned twitch, I would love to gain the ability to remove and give the founder badge to who deserve it the most, or even just remove it from a person and give it the next subscriber (the 11th as affiliate or 26th as a partner).

This needs to get more traction. I have at least 3 people that have founder's badges and are now banned from my channel. I want to be able to give my badge to people who deserve it and supported my channel.

I agree with this, i was the 30th or so person to sub to a streamer even though I was a week 1 follower and only reason why I didn't get a founders badge was because I was working when people started gifting subs and subbing. Now those people don't even show up and here I am, a mod and still supporting with over 2 years worth of subs and people question why I wasn't given a founders badge.

설립자 뱃지를 첫 구독자 10명 , 파트너 25명에게 주는것으로 알고있습니다.
첫 구독자 10명에게 뱃지를 주다가 설립자분들이 시간이 지남에 따라 보러 오지않을수도있고 그러면 설립자 뱃지를 가진사람은 줄고 비게될것입니다. 2개월~3개월 이상 구독을 하지 않을시 그 다음분에게 설립자 뱃지가 가도록 해주십시오 -

brings up a list of all the channels that you are currently a founder in. Handy for the update as most people who got gifted wouldn't even know if they're eligible for founders.

Is there a planned feature where we're able to see who is eligible for Founders status in our channel whether they're subbed or not, or if we're able to change who gets Founder status? (ex: if you banned a Founder, could the badge go to the next person in line)

I agree but i think with certain conditions like the person cant have been subscribed for a certain time to ensure the Streamer cant revoke it from someone who is still active.

I love the idea of the Founders Badge. However, I don't like that they can be "taken" and "gone" by those who only sub for that first initial period, and then never resubscribe again - yet you have someone who subscribed early (maybe not the first 10/25), and continue to resubscribe. It seems unfair to that consistent supporter.
My idea is that the Founders Badge can have an expiration date for those who have it but do not resubscribe, give those who consistently support with a sub every month an opportunity to be recognized as one of regular founded supporters of your channel.
I recognize that certain situations may come up where someone has to skip a month or two of subscribing due to personal/financial reasons. So, for this, you could create a grace period for the Founders Badge - maybe somewhere in the range of 3-6 months.
For example, let's use 3 months. John subs to my channel and earned a Founders badge. John does not renew his subscription. If 3 months pass of him not renewing his subscription, he loses the Founders Badge, and it is award to the next in queue. This standard would be applied to all Founders Badge holders for the life of the channel.
I have 4 Founders Badges that no longer sub, nor watch my streams anymore. However, I have a few who have subbed 3-4 mths of the 4 months I have been Affiliate, and they just missed the Founders Badge cutoff. I think he should be awarded with the badge versus the 3-4 who subbed the first month and then never resubscribed.

This would be so nice, temporarily until we have enough regular subscribers to bring them back!

Streamers should be able to disable founder badges on their own channel so that the subscriber loyalty badges show instead, rather than the viewer having to disable it site wide.
This would be useful for small channels who only have a few subscribers, but have paid for or designed their own subscriber badges, and for any channels that just prefer everyone to have loyalty badges. -

Similarly to VIP Badges, streamers should be able to assign the "Founders Badge" to who they believe to be the "Founders" of their channel, and also be able to remove it from users as well. There are those that are eligible for the Founders Badge on channels, that they have either left or been banned from.
