Create the functionality to allow streamers to choose individual subscriber or bits emotes that they would like to DISABLE from global use.

Currently, Follower emotes are restricted to a streamer's channel... It would be great to see streamers be able to exclude certain emotes from global use, particularly for emotes that aren't inherently harmful but just not likely to be understood outside of the community. Something that works in my community might not work in someone else's - this would, in effect, reduce harm or the necessity to remove emotes that are seen as 'bullying' if they are isolated to a channel where the joke is understood.

I think it's a bit of a shame that the "Artist" role has no other use except as a badge. Especially since the artists then also have to subscribe - and pay - themselves to ultimately be able to use the emotes that they themselves have created for the streamer.

So my girlfriend, who makes my emotes for me, still has to pay to be allowed to use these "own" emotes in the chat.

I would like it if the artists would get a special position and get access to their own emotes without a subscription. You could tie this to the "credits" for example. So that then the person gets the access, who got the artist credits assigned by the streamer.

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.

Currently, Follower emotes are only unlocked by 60 unique days of streaming within a 2-year period within the same Affiliation period. Using myself as an example, following the inaction on hate raids last year, I unaffiliated for a month or two as it was the only way I felt like I could get Support’s attention to the issue. Several streamers I know did the same in that period of time. I’ve since reaffiliated to give my regulars as many perks as I can for being in chat and subbing, which brought this Follower emote issue to my attention.

Regardless of having streamed well over 60 unique days in my first year of streaming, that apparently doesn’t count toward unlocking Follower emotes because despite the work I put in, the analytics that show that work on my account, and a plea to Support this morning, Twitch doesn’t look at your total streaming career if there’s a break in affiliation. That said, there’s clear evidence of my past streams but because I only reaffiliated at the end of last October, only stream days from the new affiliation period “count.”

The unique 60-day requirement for two years is reasonable and attainable, but having a break in affiliation (especially due to being hate-raided) shouldn’t affect that unlocking process. I still streamed all those days and a few offboarding and onboarding emails between myself and Support during that break shouldn’t invalidate that.

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.
