  1. I think twitch should add predefined ban reasons/categories (like homophobia, racism, harrasment, ...) that moderators could use. This feature could open to many moderation improvments that I detail below

    More details :
    - Twitch could reserve ban categories Ids (like the 100 first ids) for common ban categories that every streamer can use
    - Other Ids could be reserved for other purposes (country related law, ...)
    - Other Ids (let's day IDs from 1000 and above) could allow streamers create custom reasons.
    - Moderators often use tools (FFZ, ...) that would help use this feature more efficiently

  3. The new suspicious user feature is great, but there one huge downside which ends up making me having to ban.

    When a user is marked as a suspicious user, they still have the ability to spam redeem channel points redemptions and the message saying "You message has been held due to channel moderation settings" causes a barrage of messages saying "hey I cant type in chat" etc etc etc.

    PLEASE make it so suspicious users are UNAWARE they can't chat & don't allow suspicious users (& non followers) to spam redeem channel points.

    Please! This would help out small streamers…

  4. 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…

  5. Currently with the new User monitoring system, when a user has been marked as restricted all further messages from the user are not logged anywhere. So a use case: A user has been marked as Restricted due to ban evasion and decides to come into a channel to be unruly and toxic, the messages are hidden from the rest of chat and a moderator can action accordingly eg ban. That said user comes back at a later period and requests an unban. There is no context other than the user is restricted. There is none of the users messages in…

  7. El Modo Escudo no funciona bien en Castellano ya que bloquea demasiadas palabras que no son insultos ni despectivas, sin sentido alguno, quien lo ha programado no conoce nuestro idioma y por ende los moderadores o el streamer pasa más tiempo readmitiendo gente que haciendo directo.

    Además hay que entender que en el Castellano sí se usan palabrotas de forma natural pero rara vez es a modo de insulto, siendo más un halago por ironía, comedia, humor o una dramatización; el contexto es importante y conocer la cultura del país también.

    Por esto, insto a quien haya programado el Modo…

  8. So I am a mod for a streamer and we had a situation that there was someone that knew the streamer irl and the streamer preferred for them to not watch their stream. It would be great if there was a feature to restrict them from watching.

    This can also help on restricting known doxxers from doxxing streamers if the streamer knows their accounts.

  9. Sometimes, it is better to timeout more than 2 weeks to avoid making unban request and to auto-unban after a certain period.

  10. Thank you for Shield Mode.

    I would like to see the ability to configure or pause incoming raids when Shield Mode is active, such as configuring higher thresholds or pausing raids entirely.

  11. There are some terms that you just DON'T WANT in your chat, so you block them, but then a mod could come in and still use it...
    My suggestion is that something like a checkbox or a dropdown is added to the Blocked Terms manager that denotes whether mods, vips, subs, etc can use a blocked term.

    For example, you may be ok with only mods being able to use the F word, but you REALLY don't want ANYONE to use the C, N or R words, not even mods.

  12. There needs to be an option to choose what powers moderators get. Training a new mod? give them only the ability to delete messages and give timeouts. One of your mods bans people too easily? Take away their ability to ban people. This needs to be more granular.

  13. If someone wants to be unbanned from a streamer, propose a voting window with 1 vote per moderator to define this viewer should be banned or not depending from the view of each moderator

  14. Have a setting that makes it so when a moderator allows a message held by auto mod it does not automatically add the blocked term to the allowed terms list

  15. The current value for timeouts is 600 seconds. It would be helpful if this number could be adjusted in moderation setting. When the Timeout button is clicked in chat, the user would be on timeout for the adjusted amount of time. Example: In Moderator Settings, change 600 seconds to ten seconds. When the Timeout button is used on a person in chat, they will be on timeout for ten seconds.

  16. While I do like the monitoring function, I feel like it is "crowding" the mod-chat too much. Can we maybe, instead of having the person and their message shown in a colored box, stating they are suspicious, have a colored icon showing near their name? That way, if the person chats a lot, the mod-chat is not "crowded" by the colored box.

    Thank you!

  17. DATE: 12/05/2022

    TITLE: Shield Mode Amnesty for Chatbot Developers

    With no criticism intended, suggested or implied for any of Twitch's suspensions, Community Guidelines, or Terms of Service. In general, it has seemed the only solution was to close a chatbot channel, once a chatroom and live stream had been vandalized by juvenile hacking of a chatbot response.

    Now, a new more powerful solution has been developed called Shield Mode which can be set to block chat message hacks, immediately banning hacker accounts, before the chatroom is ever hacked. With the new tools available, the old saying, "Garbage in, garbage out"…

  18. A check box system for mods to customize which tools each mod has access t. Giving creators the ability to grant different mods access to different actions. Say you trust some mods with more responsibilities like "everything" but then for others, even newer mods you're testing the waters with, you only want to check certain boxes such as letting them make polls or change the stream title, but not time out users etc. A check-box system with all the mod features where you can personalize which mods can access which tools would be super helpful.

  19. I think shield mode is great!
    But I've a doubt. What if a not sub and not follower new viewer join the stream and wants simply say "Hi I'm John" while the block for new chatters is active?
    It's needed a notification to the streamer and the modders to appear, showing the user name and the content of the message only to streamers and modders and let them to chose if enable the chat for that user in a flash.
    I still didn't try this mode. Maybe it already works like this. But if not, this could be a great…
