The point multipliers have recently changed so that it is fairer that if you are paying for a higher tier sub, you receive a higher multiplier. Unfortunately, as opposed to increasing the multiplier for higher-tiered, lower tiers had their multipliers drastically lowered to the point of not really being that different from a non-subscriber. Idk how it may look from the pov of Twitch Staff, but from a user, getting 12 points for passive watch time and 60 points for an active watch time bonus while a non-subscriber gets 10 and 50 points respectively just doesn't seem that fair. When the higher-tiered subs came out, it was initially designed for users who wanted to support streamers at a higher level (and as such a higher percentage of the subscription price would go to the streamer), but it has since been made fairer so that they actually are getting more for their money's worth, which was not the original intention of the higher tiers, but I understand it. Support your streamer more and get more from it at the same time.

I understand why it's plausible to give higher-tiered subs a higher point multiplier but I can't fathom why Twitch would need to take away from regular tier-1 subs in the process. As a subscriber, we are quite literally paying infinitely more than someone who isn't subscribed at all (unless they were gifted). While it makes sense for a higher-tiered sub to have a higher multiplier, it doesn't make sense for the multiplier of a subscriber (formerly 2x, now 1.2x) to be almost identical to someone who isn't subscribed at all (1x). The difference is negligible, and because of that, I'm humbly requesting that the tier-1 multiplier be restored to 2x and if Twitch wants to, they can make a higher multiplier for higher-tiered subs.

Greetings.

My friend runs a very low-tier channel on twitch, and I'm the horrible computer janitor saddled with coding his insane demands. One of the rewards he offers is for people to become a "king of the stream". This doesn't do anything besides play a special sound, it's just a fun thing people can spend their points on.

Of course, we all know the internet; the more meaningless something is, the more people want it. Often, this reward is sniped while my friend is still getting set up and people are filing in. This kinda ruins it for everyone else because it's a "once per stream" redemption that's usually redeemed before the audience at large can file in.

It would be nice if there was a feature for point rewards to only be redeemed after a set amount of time after the stream starts, or a random delay.

Thank you.

Prior to channel points being a Twitch feature, many streamers decided to use their streaming provider to create a point system and create another source of entertainment on streams. I know that with Streamlabs points you can gamble your points which provides yet another way to entertain yourself on stream. In some streams you could actually type !gamble in chat and streamelements would then reply with a successful or failed gamble doubling or claiming the point amount you gambled, but this may not be viable because it could really clog up chat. I do wish however that there were some gambling games that streamers could enable that would allow us to gamble our points balance. With streamlabs points also, we got points for every gift sub and for a certain amount donated in bits. I like that we now receive points for a monthly donation of bits and gift subs, but it's a lot harder to get points because these are only once a month things and we cannot get more points regardless of how much we donate. It also doesn't help that the multiplier was recently reduced to almost nothing for tier-1 subs.

Moderators have access to view the reward requests view of the twitch streams they moderate for and accept or reject the reward redemption. Can broadcaster have more control over this capability?

While it is awesome our mods have the ability to do this, some moderators may exploit the ability to approve and reject requests, while rejection means the channel points go back to the person. For custom rewards this means they can keep accumulating points and redeeming them on custom rewards and then rejecting and giving themselves the points back.

As broadcasters, we do not have the ability to see what our moderators have approved/rejected in the rewards queue. While this is great, broadcasters have no idea what was approved or denied/given back in points and what moderators are accessing when. This means, moderators may be approving or crediting the channel points they redeem back to themselves, or wiping queues before the streamer has a chance to action anything (like gifting subs).

Yes we should entrust our mods to do the right thing, but the principle is for rewards (which could come with out of pocket expenses) broadcasters whould have the ability to make sure moderators are not exploiting.

Can we please have the option to toggle the reward request queue to:
Off - Moderators and Editors do not have access
On - Moderators and Editors have access
Editors - Only editors have access

This would allow broadcasters to have the ability of what mods/editors can do on their channel with rewards.

Note: Having and auditable log would be great too. Being able to see what was redeemed, who cleared the reward and how (accepted/declined).
