Whisper Filtering / Moderation
A lot of streamers with whispers enabled have been harassed by someone via them. I know you can block whispers from strangers, but there are various beneficial reasons we may want to keep them enabled. Even just checking the whisper tab shows you the last message someone sent, and a lot of the times we really don't want to see that (for so many reasons I don't have to go into - discrimination, harassment, sexual content, hostility, etc).
I would like to propose easy moderation options for whispers, specifically message filtering.
I would love something similar to Chat AutoMod settings for whispers, where we can BLOCK or have messages hidden if they contain specific phrases (such as sexual, bullying / aggression, racism, misogyny, etc). You could also block links or have spam filtering too.
I truly believe these moderation / filtering options (or defaults) for whispers would benefit everyone on Twitch.
Thank you for considering this.

Whisper filtering and moderation help create safer, more reliable speech-based applications by identifying and managing harmful, inappropriate, or sensitive content during or after audio transcription. These systems can detect profanity, hate speech, harassment, personal information, or policy-violating language, allowing developers to flag, review https://palworldbreedingpro.com/, or block problematic content before it reaches users.

If you are struggling to get your monitor running at the right resolution or refresh rate, Custom Resolution Utility is one of the best free tools available for Windows users. It works on both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards and does not require any installation since it runs directly from an extracted folder. I found everything I needed, including the download, setup steps, and troubleshooting guides, over at https://cruresolution.com/ which made the whole process much easier to follow. The site walks you through adding custom resolutions, fixing black bars, and using restart64.exe to reload your display driver without restarting your PC. Just make sure you keep the reset-all.exe file handy before testing any new refresh rate values in case your screen goes blank.

Whisper filtering and moderation refer to the process of reviewing and refining transcribed or generated text—often produced by systems like OpenAI Whisper—to ensure it meets quality, safety, and compliance standards. This involves detecting https://sureleveragefunding.com/ and handling inappropriate, sensitive, or inaccurate content, as well as improving clarity and readability.

100% agree with this as a Moderator and as a streamer being able to mod our whispers would give us the power to stop unwanted problems from users. Keeping whispers open allows me to have my mod team message me or for give aways and such keeping it enabled is important. But we shouldn't have to deal with sick or harassing messages. Moderation ability is needed.

100% agree - as a streamer, I keepmy whispers open for giveaways and because moderators know I don't look at discord during streams, so if there's an emergency they'll send a Twitch whisper.
Without moderation options though, it's also one of the easiest ways for people to harass us.
It would be great to have some options...I'll give a practical example of two options I'd keep turned on:
- allow whispers from moderators of your channel
- allow whispers from people you whispered to first -

Whispers are a good tool but I also wish there were some moderation filter/toggles. Like maybe sub only, or account verification for whispers? There should def be more toggles to control whispers other than on/off.

I could not agree more that a feature like this is needed; everyone would absolutely benefit. Message filtering would solve a lot of problems while allowing whispers to remain open (much like Discord has Message Requests). It would also make the platform much safer as a whole.
As a moderator, I'm somewhat required to leave my whispers open to handle any questions/requests, or other matters that need to be addressed outside of chat, but with that also comes some negativity. Perhaps also allowing streamers/mods the ability to ban directly from whispers could be a nice addition as well (at least while in Mod View).
An overhaul to the whispers UI could also be helpful. A set of tabs, one for filtered/AutoModed messages and another for a general inbox, with a way to archive messages without outright deleting them, could work well.
A really great idea, and an easy way to make the platform a more welcoming and safe space for everyone.

Seconded! I personally use whispers as a way to facilitate giveaways so we keep everything on the platform- but I'd love more filters for whispers, especially as a femme presenting creator. I would love to filter out phrases to protect my mental!
