Many streamers like myself are having their streams muted for songs that are embedded in games. Furthermore, since CW strikes are at the forefront of the majority of streamers, automatically muting streams for licensed music (the guild have acquired said licenses) creates more "paperwork" than necessary.

While I do agree with banning CW music without proper licensing, muting audio and then having to justify constantly for EVERY stream is unnecessary. BMI and others have API callbacks available to moderate for said CW music.

For music not from these companies, but under a license, a system should be in place where the digital license should be uploaded prior to streaming so the system can reasonably moderate for non-licensed music use. Furthermore, Twitch should have a system that differentiates music embedded in games (i.e. acquire information from game developers) and those being streamed by Spotify or other streaming services.

While I recognize that there are already guidelines against harmful/illegal uses of substances on camera, I have come across multiple channels whereas this is exactly what was going on. While I do not make it a job to report each channel I come across that does this, I have recently reported one, solely because there was a **** that was purposely laced on camera. The channel points were titled "joints", the stream time was "wake and bake" and she was clearly getting high on stream (that was not even set to "mature", so any minor could easily jump onto this stream and be influenced in a manner that they should not be, at an early age where they're easily influenced.

While it is not up to the creators to be prime examples to younger crowds, I firmly feel that it is up to Twitch's moderation staff to actively uphold TOS, especially when minors are allowed onto this platform. Creators are also responsible for what they allow on their channels and to be displayed on their cameras, and with that being said, the minimum they could do, is set their channel to mature. If they are incapable of taking responsibility, than should they really be allowed to stream to viewers of all ages?

I have been on this platform for about a year now, and I have have seen creators banned for simply taking a shot of alcohol for every new sub, yet we have creators who have wheels for viewers to spin that dictates how much they drink, still streaming.
I think it is time to start moderating this platform a bit better, with the idea that we are streaming to viewers of all ages. Not just 18+.

I suggest adding a new chat mode that allows only users with "permission to talk" to send messages to a chat; call it a "VIP-Only Chat" session, for example /viponly.

This would allow creating limited chats that not every single subscriber is allowed to join in on, which could be very useful if there are too many participants in the chat to carry out a discussion with readable interaction between chatters.

But also allow moderators to also give one user or a few users permission to speak that would allow others to speak that does not have the limitations of the /vip command where only a small number of VIPs are allowed by the system, and only the broadcaster can add/remove.

Being able to grant permission to speak individually would allow channels to have large events including chat in the event but structure and organize the chat sessions more, if they like, in order to cut out 99% of the unrelated messages, random chatter etc, and make it more feasible to showcase interesting discussions.

Moderators should then have access to a command which can grant or remove permission to speak. For example, /voice username /unvoice username
/unvoice all

Possibly with an optional time limit and reason to be sent to the user:

For example /voice username 10m Ok, username, you have the floor.

I would suggest that /voice command also allow such user to speak in Subscriber-Only or Follower-only chat regardless of other user status.

Channels holding such an event might have the people who will talk in chat arranged ahead of time with a prior agreement to the rules, or it might be audience members who joined an external queue chosen in order or randomly, or people that made a request through an outside system or authorized chatbot to be reviewed by moderators before granting permission to chat, etc.

Have a slow mode for subscribers.

There is a possibility for partners to activate a setting in which all subs are immune to slow mode.

My idea is that there are two different slow modes, one for all users (the one that already exists) and one for subs. My idea is that both are controlled either by chat commands or from mod view.

This would be useful if you would like to give the Subscribers who are supporting you another benefit, also, as they're paying (or supporting with Prime) they probably are less likely to spam or disobey rules.

Thanks for your time!

For those who don't know, inting is whenever someone intentionally gives kills, gold, and exp to the enemy and makes it so the enemy has a higher chance of winning, while the team where the inter is on has a lower chance. This is a huge problem in League of Legends specifically

After a clip of a pretty popular LoL streamer surfaced where he was inting and saying "Im going to make my team lose" (or something along those lines), the LoL community wants to have this guy and everyone who ints, popular or unknown, punished. I think a way of dettering streamers and people in communities from inting, is by putting an anti inting policy in place for twitch, so those who show themselves inting on stream will be punished.

I feel like twitch shouldn't allow popular streamers who somewhat represent their platform to get away with flaming and inting in game. It sets a bad example, and we should be able to report streamers who int in any game, whether it be Overwatch, LoL, Valorant, or any game where inting is a thing.

I keep "show moderation actions" turned on (adds ban/timeout/delete buttons next to names in chat) in the two channels I moderate.

The other day I accidentally banned someone while on the chat emote menu, with a simple jiggled-mouse misclick. Turns out the tiny sliver of ban button visible on the left side of the emote/bit panels works just fine.
I don't care whether I see it, I just don't think it should be usable. In my opinion, the only functional ban buttons should be ones with chat displayed next to them.
I can't imagine any reason a person would reasonably mean to ban someone behind there, when you can't see who's posting or what they said.

(Just in case it's relevant, I do most of my modding from my PC, browser is Firefox)
