A /banall Command to Combat Followbots
As a mod for an LGBTQ+ and trans streamer, we have been hit with a ton of followbots coming in and spamming chat with hateful intent. I had an idea for a command that would ban all accounts that have followed in a recent timeframe.
For example, (/banall 10) would ban all accounts that have followed in the last 10 minutes. This would greatly reduce the amount of time that moderators have to spend on banning all accounts separately. I spent an hour last night doing so, and while I had backup to monitor chat, I know that many smaller streamers might not have that luxury.
In addition, a way to select multiple usernames to ban/report would greatly improve the interface, as we could then at least try to keep up with the fake accounts, and keep our communities safe.

I agree, I think a bulk banning tool is super important like if i type /ban or /block i can just now enter a row of 10 or 500 usernames or also bulk unban
blocking the last 10 may sometimes be accidentally hurtful or someone may get caught up in it if someone was lurking and followed or if someone only got 9 bots and 1 real follow. but this is something id love to see twitch research also
