Like with "Email Verification" add Phone Verification! As a moderator of a few channels, we've had a massive issue with one particular troll using a VPN to evade bans. This is a massive issue for us because; this user will spam hateful messages, racist slurs, bullying/harassment and even spam the streamer's private personal info. This has been such an issue, that some people I know have had to take a long break from streaming or quit altogether!
I implore you Twitch. Please add an option to enable Phone number verification!
I believe this will strongly deter users from ban evading, as it commonly costs to use phone…51 votes -

Give channels the ability to ban all recently created accounts from chatting in their channel This is similar to the idea of banning abusive troll users at a certain IP address, https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/310201-chat-messaging/suggestions/7956255-ip-ban-from-channel.
In that request, a Twitch dev gave the following reasons for why such a ban would be hard to implement:
IPs change. A lot. A broadcaster might lose a significant portion of their audience, and viewers might get confused if there are a lot of banned IPs (such as universities).
System load. Looking up a enormous list of IPs to see who is allowed to watch on every single video play is an enormous system load I’m not sure we’re willing to…

Add a history for channel point redemptions It would be nice to be able to see a redemption history for each channel point redemption, as there are certain channels that only want people to redeem certain rewards once, and a history can be a way to check if a user has redeemed it before. (also add the ability to clear the history per reward)

Prevent unverified users from using or gaining channel points. With the addition of customizable chat verification with emails and phone numbers as listed here:
https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2021/09/29/securing-your-chat-with-phone-and-email-verification/
Users who don't pass those verifications are still able to gain channel points and interact with chat by redeeming channel points that don't require a message.
There have been hate raids that utilize these channel point redeems because they show in chat even when sub-only or emote-only chat is on. They include hateful words or doxed information in their usernames, and with this bypass they're able to show that in chat.
Please prevent these unverified users from gaining channel points, or at the very…

Implement full chat lockdown/moderated mode In the sense of IRC's +m channel mode, only moderators and higher would be allowed to speak.
Useful for:
Announcements
Aiding in spam cleanup
Crowd ControlThis, I think, would be essential to mods of event streams, and other high traffic channels.

Flag accounts based on account creation date Any account under x days/hours should be flagged for the broadcaster/mod to allow/ban to talk.
This will help with bots/raids/trolls.
Setting needed: Input for how strict the caster wants it.
Why not just use follow/sub only mode?
I'm not looking to restrict good people in my community. If I can get a person to make an account and talk with them, that's a win for the community.
But I still want to find a way to filter out problematic issues that could come up.45 votes -
Add new filters for creating usernames to deter the creation of accounts used for trolling/harassment purposes In light of recent events in which two individuals have been harassing and cyberstalking a number of Twitch streamers, myself included, it would be helpful to filter out alternative forms of profanity along with formats of phone numbers.
Specifically, I suggest the following be filtered/prohibited in username creation:
- bltch (with an "L" instead of an "i")
- wh0re (with a "0" instead of an "o")
- ########## (the typical format of including phone numbers in a username)
All three of these techniques have been used by internet trolls when creating multiple accounts to harass streamers and post their personal information.…

Streamer Banned Account Chat Hold =The Idea=
Have a toggle switch in auto-mod options for streamer to opt-in or out.
If opted in:
Any accounts that were banned in 3 other streamer's chats in the past 72 hrs will have their messages auto-held until approved.If opted out:
No change from current moderation.=Uses=
- Chat bots from follow websites would have all their messages held after 3 streamers ban them. This will prevent a significant amount of spam from follow bots and not allow their messages unless the streamer opted out.
- General trolls. Some people like to join chats just to harass streamers.…44 votes -
Review the Creative TOS, Twitch In your own TOS you allow:
Building construction sets (Lego, Erector sets, Mega Bloks, K'nex, Duplo, etc) or model kits (Warhammer, Gundam, and etc)You do not, however, allow:
Toy assemblyHow do you know that the Gundams etc. Will not be used as toys once they are done? How can you be sure they will not be gifted to a family member and that they will use them as toys.
Toy assembly should be allowed.
You do not allow: Unboxing
But yet many people do unboxing streams (primarly "big streamers")You do not allow: Playing puzzles

Do not require a phone number to be a verified account Do not require phone numbers to be a verified account.
I just tried to chat and because I do not trust twitch with my phone number, especially after they got all their data leaked, I couldn't.
I will not be giving it to you, this will quickly create a have and have not situation where people will be unable to join in with chats and thus leave your platform if they either do not have a phone or do not wish their phone number to be sold, given away, profited from or leaked.

Shared Mod comments It can be an interesting feature that moderators could be able to see mod comment a user has in different channels, so moderators can be warned about users that are not respecting communities' rules. Also it can be interesting to be awared if that user has been banned (or is still banned) because it can be disrespectful in the current channel.

Add a "run ad break" widget to mod view Would be super helpful to have an ad-break widget in mod view (for channel editors) as I currently have to switch between stream manager (for ads) and mod view (for cleaner/more accessible UI).

Include DBS checks with affiliate and partner onboarding There is nothing currently in TOS that prevents anyone with a criminal record in casting - including people who have been convicted of race, hate or *** crimes. As a private company, Twitch could make the step to update TOS to prevent people who have been convicted of race, hate or *** crimes from casting - and make a DBS part of the onboarding process (a DBS is mandatory for teachers working with children, people in the care industry etc - why not on twitch when children can create an account from the age of 13?) . It wouldn't solve…

Chat Verification Criteria should also prevent users from following Regarding chat verification, it is good that you can set it to email/phone verification if an account is newer than a certain period of time, however I have confirmed that while this prevents an account from chatting, this does not prevent an account from following a channel without verifying.
In the past I have been harassed by people (and seen people harassed) by users who never said a word in chat. Their method of harassment would be to create an account with revealing information about the streamer and simply hit follow. They would be banned, however the account would be…

Emails about report should be more informative! In case I send a report not all, just like half of them were checked (I get sometimes no Emails regarding my report). And in this Email you send me about my report would be nice, if you add the reported account name + my report data (why I did reported, and my report text).
Also in case you are done with my report, send back me please a detailed Email from EVERY report! What account were checked, what was my report, what is your decision, and why you decided like this! If you want a detailed information why I…

Suspicious User Controls tweaking The TL;DR - allow the option to turn off the highlighting of restricted and monitored users, while still having their messages viewable in the suspicious user activity widget.
The new "Suspicious User Controls" feature, while having a lot of potential, currently works in a very counter-productive way. "Restricted" users are notified that they are being restricted, however their messages still show up on both the broadcaster and moderators vision - with an additional highlight. For automatically flagged users this makes sense, but whats the point of manually restricting an account when you could just ban them instead?
This feature would…33 votes
