The purpose of this feature would be to allow streamers greater control over the emotes shown on their channel, improving their chat experience, while simultaneously giving them more control over their brand.

Across all channels, and the Global Emote pool, streamers could note Emotes with "tags", a list of specific characteristics covered by almost all emotes. Examples include "Kappa", "Lewd", "Pog", or even "Hi". These types of emotes are common place in many channels' subscription emotes. However some streamers would not like to see/have those types of emotes displayed. As such when submitting an emote, you have the ability to select one or more tags to attach to it. Then in a channel's Creator Dashboard, under Preferences -> Moderation -> "Chat Options", they can block the display of certain tagged emotes in their channel. The option for "Untagged Emotes" should be included, so that bypassing the system by having an emote untagged isn't possible.

By including the tag option in the Emote submission, Twitch can verify that tagged emotes are appropriately tagged. In the "report" feature, the user should be able to choose "Misleading/Incorrect Tag", to help enforce this system.

Currently there is a way to do something similar to this, by blacklisting any common terms used in an Emote group, but this feature would improve the control streamers have by blacklisting Tags, instead of entire words/slang, and Twitch can have easier policing of "inappropriate" emotes, as reporting untagged/Incorrect/Misleading tags can be done by the users and community.

Another valuable feature with this, would be disabling emotes of a certain tag to be displayed in another stream's chat, but only to you. Now chat displays on streams does reduce how useful this could be, but it still would be a nice feature to go along with this.

I understand your team might be inundated with emote approvals. However, it's weird to just throw the emote into the queue and just wait wondering when it will get approved.

Can you please just add an indication of where in the queue the emote sits? This way we can at least know when the emote might be reviewed.
It doesn't need to show exact position, but just break it down into tenths or quarters. Like "Oh, okay half way there. Cool." is way better than "I dunno... I guess it'll happen some day..."

The documentation I was able to find on emotes still says they take up to 48 hours. It's obviously longer than that... but how long?

Hi all,

Hereby I would like to suggest the possibility to change the current set free lifetime subs for partners.

So maybe in the same window where you upload the emotes, you can set the life time subs to the twitch account you would like to by yourself, also change it after 6 months (as the prefix, or Account name)

I think this would be handy for Partners, as for example I'm not even in contact with the person i gave the last lifetime sub to, so it would be helpful and avoid support ticket request.

Also there you can directly see when you reached the next lifetime sub, and that's quite a nice goal to reach.

Thanks! :)

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.

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.
