Users are able to hide specific badges already (Twitch Prime, Turbo, Bits, ...) but what about Moderator Badges?

The reason for this suggestion:
In smaller streams (new) chatters might get scared if moderators post messages.

So I see 2 potential ways this could be achieved:

1. Only visually disable the mod badge (keeping the moderation actions in-tact)
2. Allow moderator to go into "non-moderation mode" - in this mode, the moderation actions are not available and they are like a normal chatter

In both cases moderators should still show up in the Moderator List (/mods).

Recently Twitch added a "Mod View" into the chat settings - maybe something could be added in there?
Say a "Hide Moderator Badge" option?

Given the existing infrastructure behind the (1) first-time chat callout experiment, (2) non-mod chat delay, and (3) automod caught message queue:

There should be a toggleable setting where the initial message of any newcomer to chat must be approved by a moderator for that and any subsequent messages to appear to non-mods. Thus, this would limit the ability of newcomers to send messages without prior approval.

Not only would this reduce how many eyes see hateful messages from human accounts, it would neutralize spambots from having their messages show up to non-mods -- a useful step in responding to the current wave of "hate raids," especially when these messages can include streamer dox info.

Technical note: such a feature must work whether the incoming chat originated from a raw websocket or the first-party site. That is, this should not depend on a gql token negotiation system as is implemented for the new_chatter ritual.

Additional nice-to-haves:

• Bulk ban/allow buttons for the queue this would create: Bulk ban would be useful upon a spambot attack while bulk allow would be useful upon a legitimate raid

• Official pubsub topic for listening to these caught messages. Official helix endpoint for approving them. This would allow third-party chat clients (e.g., Chatterino, Chatty) to hook into this system for power mods. Also, this would allow specialized bots to automate actions (e.g., ban all first-time chat messages that match a certain regex). Note: this does not need to be implemented for the initial release of this feature request - it's more important to have an agile response (and some third-party devs can live with unofficial pubsub to get the job done)

Moderators on the browser and desktop versions of twitch have incredible access to moderation tools such as mod icons, mod view etc. this makes handling larger chat rooms incredibly easy for a group of mods working together.

Unfortunately I, like many others, am in a position where I am a mod for a larger community, yet am often on the go and find myself using mobile twitch far more often than desktop. This makes it so much harder to keep chat under control, as the current moderation process on mobile is utterly laughable. Messages that would be deleted instantly if we were modding on other platforms will be shown in chat for a period of several seconds before we can even act on them due to the fact we need to press and hold on the persons name, then choose a moderation action. This causes huge headaches for the streamer, viewers in chat, and the other mods.

I would love to see more convenient mod icons on mobile twitch, or the ability to do quick 2 tap moderation by merely having to press chat member’s names, rather than hold for a period of time.

A condensed mod view page on mobile twitch would also be incredible, so that mods on the go are able to help with things like running predictions, unban requests, channel point rewards etc.

These changes being added to mobile twitch would be massive for moderators and streamers alike, allowing us to perform our roles just as well on the go, as if we were on a desktop.

Occasionally, streamers accidentally leave their streams on with a hot mic and even cam. During this, streamers can unintentionally reveal embarrassing and inappropriate things on-air without their knowledge with mods only being able to host another streamer as their only tool to stop the damage. Unfortunately, those watching outside their browser can be unaffected by hosting and still be watching the stream. I think these incidents can remedied and prevented by giving mods a sort of "Emergency Brake" to stop the stream. I believe this function should be optional for safety reasons so that the streamer can decide for themselves if they want to give their mods the ability to do this. An additional benefit of this is that it will make mobile gaming (particularly adventures games such as Pokemon Go) easier to stream as streamers will not have to worry about being far away from the controls to turn the stream off and instead have their mods do it.

En las ultimas semanas he tenido el "honor" de recibir en mi canal a un grupo de trolls, los cuales han estado dandome follow con cuentas falsas cuyos nombres eran acosadores, intimidantes, amenazadores y muy molestos. Este acoso ha llegado al punto de que he tenido mas de 100 follows de pura cuenta falsa y hostigadora y pues obviamente no me siento feliz.

Mi sugerencia es:
Que las cuentas nuevas no puedan dar follow hasta tener una semana de antiguedad como minimo

Que los correos verificados solo puedan hacerse una cuenta adicional

Que las cuentas adicionales tarden una semana en ser eliminadas.

Con estas medidas, los ataques de los trolls deberian verse reducidos en gran cantidad

Dear at @TwitchSupport as a mod it would be great if ANY user who has an account that's less than 30 days old had a special symbol next to their name. 95% of the users I have to delete a message, timeout or ban are new user accounts. A symbol would make it easy to spot new user accounts in a busy chat and make it easier for mods to be on alert. ESPECIALLY when there is something going on like a new movie with spoilers or now the new thing is WW3 chatter blaming America ALSO if I ban someone they should never EVER be able to donate and continue to send nasty messages. All of this isn’t asking much and it would help keep @Twitch chat SAFE.

Thanks in advance for your help

The TL;DR - allow the option to turn off the highlighting of restricted and monitored users, while still having their messages viewable in the suspicious user activity widget.

The new "Suspicious User Controls" feature, while having a lot of potential, currently works in a very counter-productive way. "Restricted" users are notified that they are being restricted, however their messages still show up on both the broadcaster and moderators vision - with an additional highlight. For automatically flagged users this makes sense, but whats the point of manually restricting an account when you could just ban them instead?
This feature would probably work better being used more as a shadowban mechanic, that way ban evaders don't know to make new accounts.
Additionally, having messages sent by "Restricted" users only be shown in the "Suspicious User Activity" widget (as an optional setting) would allow creators to more easily ignore ban evaders and just get on with their stream.

Similarly, "Monitored" users messages still showing up in chat is great, but having all of their messages highlighted with an extra line of height makes it look very similar to the "Highlight my message" redeem. Having those messages simply appear as normal in stream chat, but show up on a list in the "Suspicious User Activity" widget would allow moderators to quickly filter out content while allowing the broadcaster to better focus on interacting with their fans.

Having the ability to easily and quickly permit links from users would be a great help. Most of us use bots like Nightbot, Moobot, Streamlabs/Elemets to deal with links in chat we don't want and auto block them but with BTTV we were able to click on a user name and clikc !permit for that user.

My idea is that either add that feature to Mod View when we clikc a name or better yet, force Auto Mod to grab the links first and then allow mods to permit it if we so desire. This then give the user who posted a link a message like it normally does letting them know we are looking it. It gives us time to check the link and then decide if it should go through or not.

I would love to have a toggle-able chat badge or flag we mods could use to mark people that warrant extra watching. New chatters who set our troll senses tingling, or folks who have said problematic but not ban-worthy things, for example. Like the negative equivalent of a VIP badge. The badges would need to be removable, for people who turn out to be okay after all.
Some problem users disappear when timed out, then show up later after we've forgotten about them or when different mods are around. A chat badge would let them stand out instantly. And paired with a "mod comment", I feel this would help us make better-informed decisions on how to interact with or discipline them.

The markers should only be visible to people with mod-level authority in the channel. Mods, the streamer, twitch staff.
I absolutely DON'T want to single these people out to the rest of chat. It would encourage trolls, hurt people we mis-judge, and attract negative attention to them from everyone else.
