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.

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.

Original idea by Twitch user @Chromerian_

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. :)

So right now with the Emote system, there's a couple of problems that are rising from time to time :

1. To change an emote from a tier into another tier (say, Tier 2 into Tier 1 after unlocking the slot), you pretty much have to wait for the approval to pass through, then have the emote at the ready. This can take between a week and a month (absolutely not first-hand experience ahem).




2. Currently, for a smaller streamer, between 2/3rds to 2/7ths of their emotes are locked behind an impossibly large wall : the tier wall. 2nd and 3rd tier emotes are unfortunately not enough value to warrant a purchase of those Tier 2s and Tier 3s as a smaller streamer. (And no, the current tier system was NOT fixed with the flairs and other nerfs & changes, but that is another story.)




3. Giving more emotes to an affiliate would further decrease the difference between a partner and affiliate. This is a big no when it comes to "adding" emotes to smaller channels.

So here's why modulable tiers come into play.

Imagine being able to choose the emote tiers you want for your emote straight away. You submit your emote, you select a tier, you submit it. After it's approved, if you want to switch it, you select the tier, and choose "Tier 1", "Tier 2" or "Tier 3" in a small menu, not limited to any number!

So what would this entail?

1. Removing the Tier limitation for smaller streamers, letting have access to the 3 Tier 1 sub emotes straight away if they wished so, or have their emotes in the Tier 2 to 3 categories only! This would let them have more "value" in the tiers they wish to go for!




2. Removing the work to "reapprove" the same emote in tiers, removing the need to work on approving already existing emotes for newer streamers/affiliates even more than the current system we have! (Which was a great step in the right direction, don't get me wrong <3)




3. Not increasing the gap between Affiliates and Partners, but giving more control to the both of them. Rather than have affiliates hold "more" emotes, decreasing the value of Partner as a whole, the two can have their tiers customized to their will. If a partner wants to have all 20 emotes as Tier 3, they're able to do so. If they want to have all of them Tier 1, they can do so as well. They will be able to have the tier emotes be whatever they need to on the click of a button.

Hopefully this gets at least some eyes onto it, because this could benefit literally everyone.

Viewers could have more emotes to choose from in their Tier 1 subs for smaller streamers, or even more on Tier 2 and 3, which could get a little more value into them than the measly ones we currently have.

Affiliates and Partners, for the reasons aforementioned.

Twitch, by removing the need for constant emote approval on Tier changes and by having more "eyes" into smaller streamers for their emotes at tier 1, as well as having more value into Tier 2 and Tier 3 altogether for better "revenue" from their Partners.

When hovering over an emote in chat I would love to see listed information for the artist it was created by and their social media/ contact info.
For that info to be easily clicked on to open new tabs to their Twitch channel and to their art social media/ contact info.

Also showing the emote at the largest size to see the emote's art more clearly, the emote's name, and the streamer's channel that it is uploaded to with that being clickable opening a new tab there.

I feel that emotes are a large part of Twitch and it's difficult to find the artists that put in the work making them, so they deserve more credit and promotion.

We've been using external extensions like BTTV for years for the option to have community shared emotes and animated gif emotes in chat that have become a big part of Twitch's culture with emotes like with SourPls.
It would be great to have some global animated gif emotes and to be able to add the option to upload animated gifs for sub emotes for channels to be able to have all animated gif emotes if they wanted.

I would like to see for the twitch viewer to be able to organize the twitch emotes you have acquired.
Number one feature I would like to see is the ability to hide a group or section of certain emotes that you don't use when you go to select an emote from the emote menu.
For example I would like to hide the option to choose the global emotes. I would also like to hide individual emotes.
Or have the ability to chose your most used emotes instead of it being automatically curated for you. I'm glad that twitch has implemented categories for emotes, especially with all the special events that twitch has implemented to obtain unique emotes (which I love).
Just would love to see more ability to organize emotes for the twitch viewer.
Thank you.
