  1. We've all noticed the follow bot/hate raid stuff lately and quite frankly this is getting tiresome. I have some simple ideas that'll help with these issues that should keep the community safer than they already are.

    1. Allow users to disable the ability for follows to happen on their channel without the following account already being verified/enabling 2FA, or even exist for a set amount of time, a time chosen by the user. Could be 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, etc.

    2. Give users the option to disable hosts and raids from any users that that haven't verified their account/have enabled…

  2. Logs should only be available to the moderation team and the existence of third party websites that are using bots to constantly save chatlogs represents a potential security problem for the user. They shouldn't be publicly available

    In this specific case I'm talking about, https://logs.ivr.fi/ that uses a twitch irc bot easily available in, https://github.com/gempir/justlog

    I hope there is a way to control this or at least make it harder to setup.

  5. Sufrí la expulsión de un Chat al que frecuento y el moderador me dijo no fue él sino algo que hizo Twitch. Escribí la palabra"Negril" que es una playa que está en Jamaica. Negro tiene muchos significados, es un color, es un apellido, y también puede ser una palabra racista por supuesto así que traten de ajustar el robot para que vea el contexto.

  6. Chat bots are intended for a channel owner to engage and moderate THEIR chat and channel. It is inappropriate, unwelcome, and absolutely NOT HARMLESS. You would NEVER in your right mind allow some stranger (or their spy cam and mic) to lurk unwelcome in your home.

    Chatbots should not have the same account-like status as real people. They should be restricted to their owner's channel and chat completely via implementation. They should not be permitted to roam freely.

  7. Over the last few years there have been more and more of these fake viewers popping into my streams that just sit there and do nothing, they're bots, they don't chat they don't follow they don't do anything but take up space and make it harder to see where my real viewers are. Its tiring and frustrating to know these bots even exist, I want them gone!

  8. I have an issue with bots in my chat. I don't need to see them listed alongside real users. What I ask for, is that you can right click them and "label as bot". Putting them into a different kind of 'listing' on the 'see who is in your chat' popup. This does not mean you kick them, or ban them or etc... it just means that "you" can see whether they are bots or real users. Or any User on your channel when opening up the list of viewers, can see that they are at the bottom, listed under…

  9. bot problem

    Hey Twitch, I'm generally at a loss for what to do anymore. If anyone knows, please tell me, because all my viewers are bots and they always come back when I ban them. I don't know what to do anymore. Even if I ban them, they always come back. It makes me a little angry that I can't do anything about it. I'm just starting out and I feel like this is affecting me. I don't know how to ban them permanently; they even follow me, just to keep spamming over and over again. Please, someone help me.…

  10. Problem with new bots which only send an emote to the chat...

    For several weeks now, I have been seeing a new type of bot which only send an emoji to the chat.
    This bots looks "harmless" but can be worst than spammer bots, because reports and reclaim on reports with no action are denied, so they stay in Twitch.
    This bots only send an emoji to the chat but when you look the profile, all of them have an AI generated profile promoting one website who describes themselves as "Buy Real Twitch Viewers & Boost Your Channel to Affiliate…

  12. Hello Twitch Support,

    I would like to formally report a serious case of botting on your platform. I am aware of a streamer who has admitted to using bots in order to artificially inflate their viewer count and “feel more comfortable with themselves.”

    This is a clear violation of Twitch’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. Despite having already submitted multiple reports about this issue, I keep receiving automated responses saying that everything is fine. I am very concerned, as this behavior is unfair to honest streamers and harmful to the integrity of the platform.

    I kindly ask that this…

  14. I've been attacking viewbotting services for a few years now. It's not like Twitch or Amazon are going to lift a finger but even without their help I've still made some massive strides:

    1- So far I've got Streamboo out of the TUCOWS servers and they've been relegated to the Chinese servers (NICENIC) after a brief temporary installment on the ADMINVPS servers.

    2- I've previously chased Dogehype out of the NAMECHEAP servers operating in Europe (Iceland) but they've returned again and NameCheap is, once again, supplying scammers with websites.

    3- I'm attempting to get the NEZHNA ones dealt with on…

  15. Whitelist sery_bot so it doesn't get banned.

    Sery_bot is a friendly Twitch moderation bot that protects your stream from hate raids, bots, and spam - plus lots of fun features for your community!

    Streamers can simply /mod sery_bot for free comprehensive protection, not to mention reduce the work of volunteer human moderations.

    It appears the bot has been banned several times as of late and we heavily rely on this bot for protection not only for the streamer, but also the viewers to maintain an enjoyable experience.

  17. The anti-bot measure just backfired on someone I was watching. Bots came into chat, bots got banned, then the streamer just mass-flagged as a bot and got suspended.

    I reckon there'd ought to be some stop gap for such a thing.. like if they've been a person who's streamers without incident for the last few years, might be safer to assume they're not suddenly a bot.

  18. There are two Twitch groups that are filled with bots and fake streamers, almost all of them have over 2k followers, these groups send follow bots and hate raids.

    The twitch groups are Siedler and NaM

    There doesn't seem to be any way for a twitch group to be reported for bots or fake content, but there are groups out there specifically going against ToS and there's nothing we can do about it on this side. Please give us a way to send a twitch group Report so groups like these can be vetted and reprimanded. Thank you.

  20. Dear Twitch,

    The simplest idea to solve all bots of the category (Follow, View) forever and help Twitch to become the first platform of transparency and credibility in 4 steps:

    • Change your statistical analysis on the platform. For example, “only verify all” accounts are counted and displayed as “View/Viewer”, “Follower” and for other statistics. Nobody gets any more information about how many people are watching the stream. You only see a “real number” of followers and current viewers.
    • All verified users (via ID card/Passport or something similar) have access to one account, not several. (Except for partners/affiliates who each have…
