Revoking a Founders Badge should NOT be permanent / irreversible.
Can you please make it so if someone loses a founder badge they can still earn it again in the future ?
I had a mishap in my channel, and twitch support there is no way to fix it. I removed a (Deactivated) Founder thinking it was an old inactive user, but it was actually my longest sub and one of my most active viewers (They had a small suspension on twitch and showed up as Deactivated). A complete mistake on my part, but having it be permanent seems out of place and leaves creators no control over situations like this. Also, people may leave communities and return, so just having the option there for founders to be recycled is not a bad idea compared to it being irreversible.

There should be no reason to revoke a founder's badge. It belongs to those who were the first to subscribe. Otherwise it has absolutely no meaning and should be removed all together.

The ability to revoke founders badges is by far the worst idea you have ever implemented. There are many things this company does that I accept as they can make sense. This idea make absolutely no sense.
You are taking a symoble of someone who was one of the original supporers of a channel and making it into something that can be turned into a differnet VIP badges. on your support page you give reaons for this change as:
no longer active in your channel, or bad actors who’ve been banned since their initial subscription.the first part. The person was still an early active supporter. you take credit from that person and give it to another person. literally making what the badge originally ment and deleting it. and then giving that credit to another user.
second, the point that someone may have been banned. that also doenst make sense. there is the idea of "tough luck" but there is also the idea that people can be forgiven and brought back into the fold. int he event that happens they shoudl still have the badge as before the ban they were an early supporter of the channel.over all this is not a good idea, but does sound like one at first. REMOVE THIS ABILITY. it is stupid, makes no logical sense, and is detremental to your social culture.

I also think being a founder should be permanent, why not make a separate badge that won't revoke a Founders badge, who actually founded the streamer. This is kind of a bad approach of being a founder that seemingly now is like a "Top Fan" Badge especially if that founder helped a streamer get stream average initially especially to multiple streamers. Kind of a waste to people who helped make the change from the start.
Also what if the streamer has ill- intentions of temporarily banning the viewer and disabling the founders badge that he deserved from the start. There could be multiple issues that Twitch has blatantly ignored and disrespected the honor of people who actually support aspiring streamers even if they don't feel acknowledgement of the actual streamer, it should be PERMANENT.

Netcat is the most respectable mod for the most glorious of juicer streamers, xqc cow. I'm really good pals with this cat, and this is such a great idea. Reversing the revoke is a big move, the ability to fix a small mistake is huge. 100% back this

In all seriousness though, allowing a re-enable for a small mistake is actually pretty big move. Giving Founder to specific people is kinda big, if removed would be awesome to give it back if the use might have dipped for a bit. So you can bring back the OG watchers and prove they were there, even if they had to dip for a bit or in this case was on suspension. Re-enable is good idea.
