Currently there is a restriction on Affiliates to not have access to Follower emotes if the streamer has had a infraction placed against them for breaking something in the TOS&G. I honestly do not think this fair if the user only has 1 infraction that was not even their fault (because it was at the result of a hate raid with links spam and then one of those people reporting the account, resulting in a one day suspension. ) Something as minor as this should not be the reason why we are restricted to everything. So increase the criteria for follower emote disabled on a creators profile to a higher number of infractions to make it fair for smaller creators like myself to actually enjoy all the features of the platform.

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 is the "You're trash" emote a thing? I'm baffled.
No one should be able to express toxicity using a single emote and bypassing chat automod.
Remove from Twitch the emotes that express toxicity WITH WORDS IN IT. Of course we can't do much for just a trashcan emote. But if the emote has words that express toxicity, that emote should never exist.

I visit often a sleep stream and the mods put on the Emote Only mode to prevent weird comments if they are afk for a bit. But multiple times the "You're trash" emote has been used in the chat.
How did this go through? Twitch is extra careful about safety and regulations and they let this slip?

Looking also at the BTTV global emotes there are A LOT of "trash" or "trashcan" emotes. Just fix this. I don't think I need to motivate it more.

Please stop this ridiculous assault on emotes. A simple emote of an animated character shaking their bum is not sexual in nature. It's just a bit of fun, and especially considering the other things Twitch allows on it's platform one simply can't fathom why an emote of a make believe video game character shaking their bum would be offensive. One simply has to spend 5 seconds browing the ASMR or hot tub categories to see content that is blatantly sexual and yet Twitch seems to take no issue with it whatsoever.

Please explain to me why an emote of Tingle, an imaginary Zelda fairy shaking his bum while fully dressed is unacceptable while you can basically give a full on ******** to an ear microphone and that's fine.

As mentioned a bum shaking emote doesn't need to be seen as sexual, but if it is, and sex is meant to be removed from this platform then stop being so two faced about it and do something about all blatantly sexual content easily found on your platform.

At this point I stop encouraging people to sub to the channel at all...
There is no reward for small streamers (emotes) and the cut of 50% is way 2 big considering payouts can only be achieve at +100U$$ to see the incomes been transfer. Having a more none-linear taxation on incomes would be better, first 50U$$ take 40% off and when approaching the other 50U$$ reduce tax to 25%. Also improve the way you see incomes with a simple "check my bank account" icon. Is a mystery to most people and dumb idea to set manual timelines just to get an idea of how much money you have made/currently have on your account, we are humans, not tax consultants with perfect knowledge of time lines regarding incomes.

I have a sustained 5 tier 2 subscribers for a decent period - I would like to reward them with a personalised emote for subbing at that tier - however if I then gain 6 tier 2 subscribers I would have an issue that the slots don't encourage a further subscriber. Could we have additional emote slots added per person that subscribes at that tier?

Eg: I get 9 tier 2 subbers I would get 10 tier 2 emote slots (to encourage a further subscriber each time) and so on - 20 Tier 2 subbers gets 21 slots etc.

Personally I would have no issue if you lose subscribers at that tier you also lose emote slots at that tier so its a two way process.

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.
