So. I was updating the Roles Feature within my community section on my Twitch Dashboard.

I had a good friend of mine who is one of my loyal mods ban a viewer because of something unrelated to the stream.

I got looking after stream to see if there was any options for doing so with this. But I could not find anything for it.

You know how we have the ability under Channel Analytics that reads "Send Email To My Subscribers"?

Why not have that same function. But instead for Mods/VIP/Editor Roles?

I'd love to write up an email for my Mods/VIP/Editor Members of my Community in letting them know about their Privileges of being a Mod/VIP/Editor. Other than a few 3rd-Party Bots Such as StreamElements and Other Interactive Custom Chat Bots with Mod rights wouldn't matter as much.

A Majority of my Mods are also Editors. What I'd love to wright would be as simple as:

"Hello Fellow Moderator, I hope your day is going well.

You are receiving this email as I would like to remind you about your rights as a Moderator within the channel.

Just for a reminder. It's not about bragging rights and having the Mod Sword Badge next you your name in the chat. It's about being supportive and helping with Chat/Stream when things get busy and with the stream picking up, you're best to be ready for action.

Now I understand that as a Moderator for the Channel that you enjoy gaming/streaming/life and cannot be in the stream all the time. So that is fine. But should your presence be miss for an extended period of time, be aware that your privileges may be revoked at any time.

If you haven't been made aware of your Role(s) within this community. Just as a reminder that you are not only under the Role as a Mod. You are also under the Role as an Editor for the Channel.

As an Editor. You have a lot more In-Depth Accessibility within the Dashboards on the Channel. If you see something that could be useful for content within the channel that is safe within Twitch TOS. Then you may take action upon your Editor Role and your Mod Role.

If you're unaware that you have had the Role as an Editor since the time of earning your Role as a Mod. I strongly recommend that you follow up on the Roles Article from Twitch: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/Managing-Roles-for-your-Channel?language=en_US

Looking forward to seeing you during the next stream!"

Now you might be asking if you were a Mod, "What is this email?" or "Have I been an Editor this entire time while I've been a mod and haven't been made aware of this?"

To answer those is all stated within the email.

Another big factor of this is to make sure if your Mod/VIP/Editor Community Members aware of any changes. Even with having platforms like Discord, some of those Community Members may not even have a Discord or Refuse to make a Discord Account. So this email is always a great method to reach out to you community much like contacting your Subscribers via Email

I occasionally see streamers who promote therapy or claim to have mental health issues, when they really are not qualified to be involving themselves in such matters. Even worse are the situations where it's clear (or it cannot really be verified) that a streamer is claiming to have a problem, just so they can solicit for subs/donations/boost their social media presence.

I think the topic of mental health is just too personal and risky for someone with no background in treating mental illness (or appears to be pan-handling) to be discussing on their channel. I think beyond telling a viewer they may want to look into seeking professional help (if there is a situation where this is necessary), there needs to be more restriction on what topics a streamer can discuss/personal information they can disclose.

Under the new harassment policies being implemented in January, Twitch has effectively identified foreign nationals who have migrated to another country (e.g., to the United States) as a protected group (the term "immigration status" is invoked as an example of what constitutes a protected class). The policy later states that saying "[protected group] should not be allowed to vote" constitutes "[a call] for subjugation, segregation or exclusion." It seems to me that this policy entails that anyone who advocates enforcing the voting requirements of probably every single nation on earth (i.e., every nation prohibits non-citizens from voting) is guilty of hateful conduct.

More concretely, supposing I were to say, "Non-U.S. citizens should not be allowed to vote in U.S. elections," it seems to me that this would make me guilty of hateful conduct under the terms of the policy. By extension, anyone in favor of upholding the U.S. Constitution as it stands would be guilty of hateful conduct. I'm sure this is not the intent of the policy, and I doubt that it would be enforced in this way. Still, this does seem to be a section of the policy that might need some more work.

Hey!

I know a lot of streamers (including me) who have a "self sacrifice" channel point redemption and my MODS for some reason always want to redeem it...

I was wondering if we can get timeout that don't remove MOD status to a MOD but when banned that their MOD status would still be removed.

I know it is this way to prevent anyone with access to the person's account that is MOD or the MOD themselves posting, breaking rules. I've had MODs break rules and do some pretty awful stuff (Try to ban everyone) but most part IMO if a MOD does something like this it's a insta-ban.

Just wanted to pitch the idea

Today, the only available options are to report abusive actions are to report individual people, ie either the streamer or someone specific in a chat; basically individuals.

The problem is, moderators on some chats get the power in their hands go to hteir head, and since some rather big streamers delegate this job to them precisely because they cannot monitor what happens, it creates a void in which allows abusive behaviours to happen.

The moderation problem is specific in the way you don't know who issued an individual moderation action against you, hence you cannot even talk to him/her (provided -s-he is open to it anyway).

This proposal addresses the problem for an individual facing abusive moderation actions by creating means for him to report moderation as a whole, and then let the resolution of the problem being multi-layered:
1. The report is addressable by the moderation team, which can justify their actions
2. If the report doesn't satisfy the user, it can be appealed to the channel's owner, which can then read the written exchanges to get to know the case and offer some resolution process
3. The the report deson't satisfy the user, is can be appealed to Twitch which can then decide if an abuse has occurred. Twitch would then get in touch with the channel's owner for long-term resolution, either to change the ruleset of the channel, or to address the abusive actions of the moderator(s) involved. If an individual action is to blame, this could lead to the faulty moderator's removal

When a channel that I moderate for goes live, there's two main ways that I load their stream; the pop-up notification at the top right, or clicking their name in the left-side panel. It's a bit inconvenient loading the channel, then having to click another button to redirect to a different page again (/moderator/<channel>).

I think it would be convenient to have an option, maybe a toggle option in Mod Settings in chat, to automatically load the /moderator/<channel> page when you load a channel that you're a moderator for. That way, Mod View isn't forced onto anyone unless they enable it (although I'm sure most moderators live in mod view now!)

It's not an urgent suggestion, but a quality-of-life change that I'd appreciate.

This is no an idea this is purely a complaint as every other method of getting in touch about this issue has been ignored and it is really starting to get on my nerves.
I have had my account since march 2014 but only started streaming in Jan of 2019. In all that time i have never had any issues with my name being auto modded until around 2 months ago when it started to get auto modded everywhere, this ruins my raids, my general interaction in peoples chats because if someone replies to me with my name, one of my emotes gets posted, basically anything with the term "Kigg" in is getting flagged by auto mod. PLEASE SORT THIS OUT OR EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS BEING AUTO MODDED??

Some Streamer are using ilnessess to get money from viewers and most of them doesn't prove if they have the ilness or not and they are burning the people that has the ilness not only in Twitch but IRL too. They says for it users to give some excuses that are funny and the better is that he doesn't show the medical documention because his parents are cousin and he is afraid to lose his viewer and lose his money.

The point is. When the Streamer are using Twitch to stream his games, stuff... befre he start do it he must fill up a form with some question and in those question as if he has any ilness if so answer what kind and send a medical docmentation to proof. This way the streamer will not prejudice the people that has the ilness.

I'm asking for it 'cause I have some ilness and I saw many streamer using it to earn money and I was prejudice and I died inside after that.

That's why I beg you guys take some actions about

Thanks <3
