1. Allow only selective bot to be in chat and auto ban all other bots as they arrive

   Could you have the ability to list the bots (Streamer approved bot list) that are allowed to be in that streamer's channel and then for all other bot account to be auto ban the moment they start watching.

   As a mod I have been using https://twitchinsights.net/bots to check if accounts are bots and then banning any that show up as bots before they talk in chat. The Hoss bot is just creating so many account it disrupting many streams now.

   Also could you have another setting to alow streams to chose to have any account that is watching more than about 20 streams at a time auto banned if they are not on the streamer's approved bot list. As I am guessing the bots will try to hid that they are bots if the first part of this suggestion is put in place.

2. Shadowban Bots by pattern

   Should be simple: have something similar to automod check for known and reported bot messages and their pattern. If it matches, rather than blocking or reporting the account automatically, just cause the suspicious message to be hidden from anyone but the sender.

   Additionally, after 1 month of their infraction, lock the suspect's account and try to make a direct contact with them.

   Another thing to do would be to change Verified → Partner and create an actual Verified Account status that marks accounts that are confirmed to be actual users rather than bots.

3. Bot that identifys partially exposed breasts

   Perhaps someone at Twitch HQ could use machine learning to identify partially exposed breasts from streamers. The are many streamers that do this for content, and it is not very pleasant to come across this when scrolling through the just chatting category.

   Can this then be made into a Bot, so the streamer is "aware" of what is happening..

   The machine learning component hopefully would not be very complex, but not sure how you would implement it on a larger scale (not aware of the resources you have available). Otherwise the low-tech approach would be a twitch staffer scroll through the "Just Chatting" category, and flag users for the FILTER.

   Hopefully this will cultivate a culture where streamers are dressed more appropriately, and are not exposing their bodies in exchange for views, likes and extra income. As that is an unhealthy for the individual. If Twitch is not actively supporting and monitoring these streamers (for personal wellness), and leaving them to their own devices and community, they could potentially leading them into harms way.

   Not sure where you would put these streamers, but I would suggest you blur the stream preview, and enforce the "Mature Content Filter" on the stream. Then potentially you could use an option on Twitch profiles to "Enable Mature Content" and hide it for anyone under the age of 18.

   Thanks Twitch :)

   We appreciate the recent changes you have made by adding the "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches" category !! THANKS :D

4. A way to flag bots

   When viewing the viewers log in chat you can see bots like Streamlabs and any other source you have a purpose for. However there are fake accounts that sit in the chat room that are not real viewers. Should be able to flag them for review and have them deleted.

6. Chat Spam Bot Offers

   Spam Bots continue to raid the platform. My friends and I are getting spam bots that go to websites such as Dogehype. Although their services are cheap, it is still untrusted, and I want to suggest that any form of "dot com" should be a red flag.

7. Hate Raids

   I have been working on a solution for the hate raids problem, a problem that led streamers into going for a strike. I have been able to come up with a solution which I believe could solve the problem.
   The solution has to deal with using the Channel-Banned Terms Filter.

    First, we gather other alphabet (Greek, Latin, etc.) and signs that look like the English alphabet and arrange them based on the alphabet they look like, basically creating an array for each English alphabet and the letters that look like them.

   Second, we write code that is able to swap letters in a word. Let us say a streamer adds the word ‘die’ to his channel-banned terms, we should be able to write a script that will swap the first letter ‘d’ to all other letters that look like ‘d’, and do same for ‘i’ and ‘e’. This will end up creating all possible combinations of the letters in the word ‘die’, for example; ‘đíê’, ‘Ðīɛ’.

   Last but not least, we add all words created from the combination of the letters to the channel-banned terms, this way, it will be really difficult to trick the system into typing a banned word. This is my solution.

   I already have written a script that can do all this automatically, all you have to do is add the word to the channel-banned terms, I can give it to you guys if you want.

8. Add the ability to completely remove bots from your channel.

   For months upon months now I have been facing an issue with an increasing number of bots engaging in View Botting, Host Botting, and follow for follow economies, as well as a startling amount of Analytic Data gathering. It's absolutely disgusting that some of these bot channels are allowed to affiliate, and in one or two extreme cases (Hello, Commanderroot.) even are partners. It's frankly horrifying to me to see the analytic ones allowed to exist specifically.

   We need an ability to remove these things from our channel completely. Banning a bot doesn't do anything if it's still allowed to sit there and gather attention in your chat by existing. I've been accused of viewbotting by their very existence in my channel. But there's nothing I can do because banning a bot is worthless.

   These things gain attention by sitting in streams. Someone looks at the viewlist, takes a look a tthe random viewer doing nothing during downtime, finds the big ol' follow for follow and bot economy. Attention gained. These things damage the community by completely bypassing the point of trying to gain attention yourself as a streamer. It puts an unfair advantage on those who are willing to indulge in dubious, scrupulous activity to grow themselves.

   And most of all, some of these bots scare the **** out of me. There's been plenty of stories of accounts being hijacked, of malicious bots gathering data on streamers and viewers alike. I don't want to have to sit and see bots with an unknown purpose sitting in my channel for months on end during every stream wondering if it's doing something in the background that's going to harm myself or my viewers. I report them all the time to no avail. One of them is even partnered under Twitch and that is an enormous slap in the face to people struggling to grow under the mass of already well established streamers.

   Your lack of response to this is appalling, and we need our own solution to the growing number of bots if you are unwilling to do something about their growth yourself. Give us the ability to not just ban them from the chat, but to completely wall them off from rejoining to even view the chat and gather their data.

10. protection from spam bots

    Please add a function to ban bots that spam in one single sentence. Let this function work together with the delay in sending a message to the chat (from about 3 seconds or more), it will not apply to emoticons (at the streamer's choice), so that you can configure the restriction to check words in potential spam bots (for example: from 2 words or more), distinguish between the use of signs, CAPSLOCK, and other minor nuances. The larger the range of words for checking potential bot messages, the greater the delay should be at the time of sending the message so that the function has time to process the data and is not heavily loaded. I ask you to adopt my idea.

11. Lockdown Twitch API

    I think it is time to deny API access to all unverified bots/extensions. Malicious users are creating bots that are using the API to target streamers when they go live by hate raiding, follow botting, and now spamming other channels with malicious stream advertising messages in an attempt to get their targets banned.

    All of this goes away by requiring bots and extensions seeking to be added to the platform go through a review process.

    If Twitch doesn't have the resources to properly staff such an effort, crowdsource the review process.

    Something must be done, doing nothing is no longer an option. Malicious users are tearing your platform apart while you fiddle away on the roof providing band aides and half-measure fixes that treat the symptoms and not the cause and do nothing to prevent the next attack vector from being exploited.

    Meanwhile innocent content creators are exposed to harassment, racist, sexist, and ablest attacks that are cause a lot of stress sometimes resulting in the loss of their accounts and, for some, their livelihoods.

12. Additional Account Security

    I recently was follow botted again. A pretty recent update to twitch security added the option of only allowing verified accounts to type in chat. I believe we need an option that goes a step further to prevent follow bots entirely. The option is simple. Please give the streamer the option of requiring a verified phone number to follow their stream. That would remove any chance of someone follow botting because they will not have hundreds of verified accounts. And if they did they could be easily identified and dealt with.

17. Closer cooperation with third-party providers to identify viewer bots

    I see some Streams with hoping Viewercounts like 30 Viewer, 10 min later there are 300 and again 10 minutes later there are only 30 again. I check also Websites like Twitchtracker to understand what i see. Some statistiks i see show pretty clearly,that there is something wrong with the viewers in the channel. In other words: This hoping don´t looks normal. Sadly Twitch doesn´t take a link to a third-party provider as an evidence. In my opinion Twitch should take a closer cooperation with websites like Twitchtracker to fight against the viewerbotproblem, so if someoe reports a Channel and puts in a link to a statistik from Twitchtracker, it should be checked and count as trusted evidence. Some statistiks look realy crazy in my opinion xD.

18. REPORT BOTS

    Dear Twitch,

    I am writing to you because of something that happened to me practically now (02/02/2025 at 5.00 p.m) .
    I have been botted and I would not want this to burden a hypothetical suspension of my channel, as I am not the originator of this fact
    I kindly ask you to be able to find a way to stop these waves of bots sent by other streamers/gamers

    Thank you very much for your cooperation.

20. Get rid of the "Cheap Viewers" bots sitewide

    There must be a way to remove the "Cheap viewers bots" from channels. They have now figured out a way to bypass chat filters blocking terms like "cheap viewers", "best viewers" etc., by using Cyrillic characters that the filters don't see. The bots also now have figured out verified chat only like verified email and phone numbers so they have skated around those settings too. Either ban those keywords sitewide or create either a wildcard option or some other way to block those terms on channels so they go away. In channels I mod for, I delete and report them to twitch, but not all the reports are taken care of and the bot accounts stay up in those cases.
