Please allow us to opt-out of events that gift emotes when another user takes an action. Many of the recent events (e.g. HyperScape, K-Pop, Hispanic Heritage Month, etc.) have emotes that I don't want or find offensive, but I have no choice on whether they're added to my emote list when another user subs or cheers.

I suggest a tick box on the pop-up that appears over a stream to let you know about a new event that lets you choose to not receive any of the event's emotes. Alternatively or in addition, a section of the settings that has options for the current event. This section should also include a way to hide or permanently remove emotes from your emote list by or within an event category (e.g. HyperScapeEmotes, StreamWithPride, etc.) or individual emotes within the Unlocked and Global categories. Emotes that are removed or hidden should not be accessible by auto-complete. Removal of emotes should also allow simple feedback on the reason--offensive, unwanted, etc.

While this suggestion isn't intended to just let people cull their emote list to a reasonable size, it would also function for that purpose. Twitch may also be able to collect data on which emotes are found offensive or unwanted by a significant portion of their userbase, and perhaps make better decisions on future emotes as well as remove emotes that generate too much negative feedback.

As Affiliates we only get access to a few emotes so we, or at least I, like to switch them out every now and then to give subs more options. I never had to much of a problem doing that but lately the waits have been more then 2 weeks just to get one emote approved, which I think is a little much.

So if there isn't a way to approve emotes faster can there be a way to auto approve emotes for affiliates? Or maybe some way we can submit a bunch of emotes for approval just to have them in the system, then allow us to select and choose which ones subs can use without having to delete and resubmit new emotes?

Just as it says in the title, I think creators would love to have the option to take away Tier 2 and 3 subs to add two more emotes to Tier 1 subs. In my case, I’ve maybe had someone tier 2/3 to me 2-3 times each over the course of my 3 years of being an Affiliate. It’s only usually just once out of the blue, never continuous.

For my stream, I would rather add two more emotes to my first tier, totaling it to a maximum of 7 instead of 5 (for Affiliates) than have a tier 2 and tier 3 subscription option that no one is going to pay for. I want to incorporate my emotes into my community as much as I can, and with collapsing tier 2 and 3 to get two more emotes for tier 1, it would really help.

I think this would be easy to incorporate; it would just be within your emote options, a switch you can click that disables tier 2 and tier 3 subs and adds two more slots to tier 1. For those people who are subbed to a streamer at tier 2 or tier 3, they would automatically roll over to tier 1 the next month, keeping all of their emotes, just paying the tier 1 price.

Unlock permanent emote slots for those who gift subs (5/10/25 etc) and those who are subscribed to a channel for x-amount of time (3/6/9 months etc) just like how the bits emotes work.

It would give affiliates the opportunity for more emote slots to work with if they choose to upload anything there for them, and it also provides some reward to go with viewer generosity (at the minute, permanent emotes are a thing with bits alone and they're great, but there are no permanent unlocks for continuous support in subscribing/gifting subscribers to a channel. In fact, for gift subs, there is only a badge alone and if you gift subs as well as wanting another unlocked badge showing, that gets taken away/you have to choose what's displayed). This would make for a great optional feature, at the discretion of the creator, just like the bits emotes. :)

How about "legacy" emote slots?

If you have subbed for a year = you get an extra emote, 2years = a second emote etc.

You unlock them by either having a streak of 1 year/ 2 years etc (and then the user can keep using them even if they aren't subbed anymore. Just like unlocked bit emotes that stick with the user.)

Or unlock by being (with breaks, but in total) subbed 1 year/ 2 year etc and only get access to the emote when you are subbed.

Would be a cool reward for long time supporters.
