Mods participation in polls
For what reason should a mod NOT be able to participate in stream predictions, mods are viewers as well, before I got my mod badge I was a dedicated viewer. Preventing mods from participating creates that even bigger disconnect from the viewers and just divides communities more.
Thank you for continuing to help us evolve our products! Your feedback made it clear moderators should be able to join in on the fun.
And now they can!
Participating moderators will not be able to manage or resolve Predictions they have voted in.

I think Twitch should add a setting to choose if Moderators can participate or not, because there are predictions that Moderators can't know the result. An example: Is the streamer going to defeat this boss?

My idea is pretty straight forward: Mods should be allowed to put their points into Predictions to help sweeten the pot for other chat members. If mods can't join them to bet themselves, they should at least be able to help the rest of the players get some points instead. Mods wouldn't get any return payout if they guess properly, but they should at least be allowed to throw points into the pot to help get people voting, or if a vote seems very low, a mod can help get the points flowing. I personally have a few channels I moderate for where I have a ton of points and not much to use them on. I feel like this would at least help the other people in chat have fun.

I would like that Mods also can join Predictions.
At least the Streamer should have the Option to let Mods join or not.A Streamer got Mods for a reason and Mods a People the Streamer trust, so i guess no one would Cheat the Outcome to his own favour, even if everyone would notice it.
And maybe there could be a Option for the Streamer only to remove the last prediction, just in Case something went wrong. -

Például volt olyan modi aki megkérte, hogy vegyem le róla, hogy tudjon szavazni.
Ha azzal van a gond, hogy így tudnak "farmloni" akkor legyen elvévéve tőlük a jog, hogy kezelhessék.... -

I’ve half my viewers can be mods. So it means I can’t really use the predictions

Moderators aren't allowed to bet which doesn't make sense especially for smaller streamers where the mods may compose 1/3 or more of the viewers watching... It's not fun when only two or three people bet when it could be 6 or 7. Thank you.

I'd argue that predictions should use a tiered permissions system.
If the channel owner set up the prediction, all mods can participate but the outcome must be confirmed by the channel owner (by default).
If a channel editor set it up, all mods (excluding editors) can participate but the outcome is confirmed by the editors or the channel owner (by default).
Lastly, if a regular (non-editor) mod created the prediction, all other regular mods can participate with the exception of that mod, who is in control of confirming the outcome (along with the channel owner and any editors).
If it were to be abused, the channel owner can just disable editor-created and mod-created predictions as necessary.

I share this meaning Moderator should take part! especially because smaller channel sometimes miss somone to bet against. It would be already enough if streamer and mods could set a pool to win. give some kind of regular point pool to win. I would suggest 100-300 so that it is not to much but a good way to tease the viewer to set and bet even if nobody is taking part. This way mods would be limited to.

We already have a role for this called "Editors" which should be the people who can manage but not take part in Predictions. It seems very strange that moderators have power over them, as it does not seem like something a moderator should be doing.
Moderators are often pillars of the community, so excluding them from Predictions is madness. Move their powers and limitations over predictions to the editors.

Hi, I'm one of the lucky people who get to play with predictions. I had it pointed out to me by my mods that they were not able to join in on the fun. I had several complaints about not being able to predict my death on stream.
I have more than a couple of moderators as not one of them are able to make every stream, and it feels unfair that the moderators can't join in on making predictions, other than starting a prediction.
With the limitation of only being able to vote once, the only problem I could see in the validation phase of a prediction. Is there not some way this could be mitigated as in a second confirmation from the streamer so that the moderators can't validate the prediction in their own favour? And the confirmation of the streamer having more weight than a moderator?

I'd like to add to Andrew's comment. Streamers should set whether or not mods can participate. If abuse is a concern then allow the streamer to also set the winning outcome and the outcome MUST be approved by them only.
Offline chats can always abuse it so I think having the streamer manually approve the outcomes will prevent abuse.

Agreed, having mods not being able to participate also discourages regular viewers from participating when they see not many people partaking in the predictions. Streamer should be able to view via the activity feed who initiates and creates the outcome to look over potential abuse.
