The point is to hide them entirely on a *user* end, not a streamer/moderator end. The blocked phrases list isn't good enough.

Some emotes are literally trauma triggers for some people. For me, the L U L emote features a literal neonazi who was known for harassing women, of which I was one. Just seeing his face is enough to bring back memories of the time I was told over and over by his followers to go kill myself - all while they put swastikas in their pfps. That's not something I should have to be subjected to every time I open the emote menu, let alone look in chats.

I have a separate uservoice thing going to get said neonazi removed like pogchamp was, but the point is that the ability to completely hide a given emoji from the user side is a real matter of safety for some people and needs to be a thing.

You can blacklist emotes from the moderation page. All channel emotes will start with the same prefix. You just blacklist anything with that prefix or if you want to block emotes from the default Twitch emotes just add the named emote to the blacklist. Only you and mods will be able to use it then. I do agree though you should be able to just choose which ones appear. I mean you can blacklist it, but anyone in your chat will still see that emote in the menu, try and use it, then might leave if their emote seems blocked.

As a test I just blacklisted BigBrother because it's an ugly emote no one uses. I could see it in the menu and post it, but one of my viewers could not post it. :)

At a minimum don’t show any emotes from accounts you’ve blocked. Sometimes people turn out to be trash and you don’t want anything to do with them anymore

yes plsssss. I tried blocking someone but their emotes are still there

I just want that HypeCreep spider gone. It makes me not want to use twitch. It's be great if I could hide it for myself.

@urut0raman Indeed, I'm a bit embarrassed because I didn't notice the idea was about the chat specifically, I was actually thinking it was about the emote picker.
I'm not concerned (yet) by this idea but I will keep my support to it since I understand the issue it may be for many people.
Then for the emote picker the second most upvoted in this category ("Allow us to Reorder the Emote Menu") may be more appropriate.

@AHL67 Nope, "all the pride emotes are just useless" PLUS "i have no interest in having those in the display"" means he is talking about the emote menu, not chat itself

@urut0raman No, this is actually the same idea: hide emotes you don't want to see on a case by case basis, whatever the reason is.

@vic_tso The thing you want is then not relevant to this thread, but a new one:

Being able to make a subselection of which you want shown, AKA, favorites.

This thread is about banning emotes from channels that are problematic to a person. As in, they won't show in chat.

Animated emotes can be turned off on the chat settings, protect yourself and use that option, posting it in case people didn't knew about it

I agree with Hybridx86 ( below ). I also have Epilepsy and find some of the extreme flashing ones scary for me. I don't want to have another seizure. I know animated emotes are fun, but they can trigger a seizure, especially if you are watching at night. Also, emote artists should be able to have access to the emotes they make for free, without having to subscribe to the streamer. Having to sub defeats he purpose of having made them for paying customers. You lose your money and then some. Please support emote artists. When an artist is given the artist badge, they should automatically be subbed to that channel. Emotes bring more subs to the channel, so it's not like the streamer loses out.

Ever since Twitch introduces GIF emotes some streamers have opted to make emotes that can trigger epilepsy. On more than one occasion mine has been triggered and I while I can report the emotes Twitch does not remove them and I still have to see them spammed. This is not a problem in a single channel but rather all across Twitch. This is a health issue and limits site wide accessibility.

still needs an option to hide or ideally remove unwanted emotes from my list when watching streams

Please give us the option to remove emotes from people that we unfollowed/blocked. I do not need to see an abusive person I blocked emotes on my list at the very top. Not sure why they even come up when I have unfollowed and am not subbed for well over a year.

This is utterly pathetic we still don't have this feature. I should not have to see somebody in my emote picker that has caused harm to many people because we supported them before we knew the problems. What about family friendly streamers? Maybe they don't want somebody's emote of women's panties or a dog spreading it's rear open (yes, that's an actual emote that was approved by Twitch) in their chats. Some people run streams that 13 year olds can watch, and I would argue Twitch is putting family friendly streams and younger viewers at risk by this oversight.

Banning the unwanted channel's emotes by manually adding them as banned words/phrases is not viable. I should not have to go to a channel (you could also be banned so this is not even possible) and look up the names of every emote and ban them individually. You would have to do this regularly as well, because people get new emotes all the time. I should be able to block a user's emotes in chat and from my personal emote picker. Not a wild concept and Twitch is still sleeping on this. I'm amazed I get emails and see posts about how Twitch is keeping our communities safe, but still has not touched this when it's easily one of the biggest and only issues I see in the daily usage of the platform. But yes, thank you for scaring gambling channels or whatever.

Twitch watchers have been complaining about the same thing over and over again in this forum.. It shouldn't be too hard to code and implement more customization within the twitch chat. We need to be able to remove permanent emotes from our menus whom we don't even follow anymore. Me and others have found it an UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE when we see emotes from streamers who we no longer support.

I'm sided with the multiple comments suggesting a way to either delete unused emotes that we dont want anymore or hide emotes/categories/channels that we dont want to see either. Me as many others have bad memories with some streamers that we want to have nothing to do with, and being locked into seeing their emotes everytime is really not helping anyone.

Have emotes for streamers that I am no longer affiliated with and want nothing to do with. Seeing their emotes in my sections is a pain because I need to scroll past them to get to emotes that I actually want to you. Please make it an option to hide or remove unwanted emotes from our lists.

Yes, please give us the option to control what emotes we see in the emote list. It takes forever to scroll down looking for a specific emote. Being able to hide streamers we are not subbed to or hide ANY emotes that show up in our list would be very much appreciated. I also find emotes from streamers I don’t sub to, don’t follow or have previously subbed or followed to showing up and it’s upsetting, especially if you had a bad personal experience with that person. I made an emote for someone ( customer ) who I ended up giving a refund to and I find it quite offensive and upsetting that they are still using this emote and it shows up in my emote category. Viewers need more control over what is seen in their emote list.
