   Create and Manage Custom Moderator Roles with Configurable Permissions

   Currently, the moderation system on Twitch is somewhat limited: you can only differentiate between regular moderators, editors, and VIPs, without much granularity. My idea is to allow content creators to create multiple roles in order to better organize their moderation team and assign each role specific permissions.
   Example Roles

   Head Moderator: Has full access to all moderation features (ban, time-out, delete messages, edit stream title, etc.)
   Moderator+: Possesses most permissions but may not have access to critical options (e.g., managing roles or configuring alerts).
   Moderator: A standard role that can moderate chat (ban, time-out) but doesn’t have full access to channel settings.
   Test Moderator: A temporary or limited role, with fewer permissions (e.g., can delete messages but cannot ban).
   

   Permissions Functionality

   Ban/Timeout Permission: Enable or disable the ability to ban or time out users.
   Access Logs Permission: Enable or disable access to message history.
   Stream Title/Category Editing: Grant or restrict the ability to change channel information.
   Special Commands Permission (e.g., !commercial, !raid, etc.).
   Manage Other Moderators: Allow (or not) a moderator to manage the list of other moderators and their permissions.
   

   The goal is to provide fine-grained control for creators so they can adapt their team according to the size of their community and the level of trust they have in each moderator.
   Why This Is Valuable for Twitch

   Improved Security: Each role is clearly defined, preventing overly broad access when you don’t want to give someone full authority.
   Easier Channel Management: Hierarchizing the moderation team (Head Moderator > Moderator+ > Moderator > Test Moderator) provides a more professional team structure.
   Encouraging New Moderators: By having a “Test” or “Junior” role, you can gradually train volunteers without immediately granting them all moderation powers.
   

   The Little “Extra”

   Custom Role Badges: Each role could come with a unique badge visible in chat, identifying the Head Moderator, Moderator+, etc.
   Progression System: One-click promotions from a lower role to a higher role over time.
   Role History: An option to view a moderator’s role history for better oversight.
   

   Thanks in advance.

4. Mod action log for specific moderators

   Implement a Mod Log for each individual moderator of a channel so you can see what actions that specific moderator has done in the channel. So lets say you do /user xyz and he/she is a mod in the channel, then there is a tab next to mod comments that would say something like "mod actions" and it shows all the things that mod has done in the channel, for example changing the title, banning / timeout x user etc etc. This would make it easy to see who is actually doing a lot of moderation work and who is not. I know you can see it in the "mod log" but then you will have to scroll through 2000 different timeouts / bans from bots and other mods and you cant specifically search up one mod and see what actions he/she has done in the channel.

7. Option to only see one streamers chat during Shared Viewership in modview

   With big collabs it becomes really hard to read chat and filter out the messages you are supposed to mod, in the chat you are modding for. especially when the two streamers have different chat rules for example allowing caps or not.
   So it would be great to have the option to only see one part of the chat for easier moderation

8. Review the Banned/Prohibited Games list to permit streaming Second Life

   Second Life has remained on the Prohibited Games list for an exceptionally long time, and in most cases I would agree that it belongs there because a lot of content there is sexual in nature.

   However, Platforms like VRChat contain just as much sexual content, usually done in private and away from prying eyes, much like Second Life.

   If VRChat is allowed, Second Life should be allowed too.

   Twitch team, please reevaluate your Prohibited/Banned games list to remove Second Life.

   Context: i'm a content creator on the platform, and I want to stream my development process. The content I create is safe for work, and I, like many others, create my items in a private region where I strictly control the content that's visible.

   Note: I am aware that VRChat has a built in moderation tool for Avatars and Worlds to flag things like sexual content, gore, horror, ect. While Second Life allows land owners to flag their regions as General, Mature or Adult, there is no system in place for a content creator to flag their creation as any specific rating.

   This is something I will suggest to Linden Lab as well, to better assist in content moderation, and help Second Life users moderate the content they wish to see.

   Thank you for your time.

9. Improve Editors for 2024.

   Hey!

   Editors should have some more functionality I think in line with some of the ideas that Twitch added over the years to make them further distinct from moderators and warrant actually placing someone as an editor only or moderator + editor.

   Some examples:

   • Removing VIP badges/moderators from channels or adding VIPs/moderators to channels.

   • Maybe a "role hierarchy" of Broadcaster -> Editor -> Moderator to make editor more distinct.
     So for example, if a moderator pins a message, an editor can remove the pinned message, but can't remove it if the broadcaster pins a message in chat. Likewise, if a channel editor pins a message, moderators can't remove it.

   • Ideally, being able to create or having access to various channel point redemptions, being able to pause or suspend them or especially adjust the quantity so the broadcaster doesn't have to go into various panels to do that themselves would be great.

   • Being able to adjust channel alerts as well via Twitch alerts.

   • Adding channels (maybe with broadcaster verification, much like emote attribution) to recommended channels would also be nice.

   • Being able to upload emotes (maybe if the broadcaster has instant emote approvals enabled to prevent abuse) so emotes can be uploaded in the background as well.

   • Be able to change channel panels, channel trailers/social media links.

   Anyway, feel free to post with more ideas I may have missed.

   These are just some things I've noticed editors can't do - but wanted to do in my channel with the role.

   Thanks!

10. Don't require global phone number verification or any at all (At the very least leave it up to the streamer)

    It seemed like one day I found out that I wasn't able to participate in chat without verifying with my phone number. I didn't want to give my personal number, so I used a Google Voice number that belongs to me. But by using that number, I get an error "please provide a valid phone number." There should've been a clear message indicating that Twitch doesn't allow VOIP numbers, so I wouldn't have to contact Twitch support or look through support articles.

    I would hope that Twitch would allow any kind of numbers for what is suppose to be a simple process, but moreover, I am disappointed that Twitch would do phone verification AT ALL. I don't trust giving such personal information to Twitch/Amazon. Twitch's privacy policy is vague on their use with telephone numbers, not including the use of chat verification. Even though CCPA gives rights to be able to delete personal information Twitch holds about me, it's unfortunate that Twitch views that themselves that they are required to hold such information. It is TOO vague to know how long they would keep my number in my file and that it is completely OUT OF MY CONTROL on what happens with that information. I know that in the settings I can remove my number if I set it up for 2FA (which is an insecure way to do 2FA), I'm not sure how long Twitch holds my number for verification in the backend (I'm going to do a data request to see)

    Even if I accepted the idea of phone verification, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE REQUIRED GLOBALLY?!? Global verifcation seems to mean that I can't chat on ANY streams unless I verify by phone. On an individual basis on the streamer's choice is something I can accept, but, as far as I know, I have done nothing wrong that would necessitate a global-wide phone verification that would allow my to chat with any other streams.

    TL;DR:
    - Twitch doesn't allow VOIP numbers, and doesn't give clear error message
    - I believe there shouldn't be phone verification
    - I don't trust Twitch/Amazon for securing personal data
    - Twitch's Privacy Notice is not specific enough relating to phone verification
    - There is not much control over my personal info and the retention of such data
    - Global verification is dumb and should be up to the streamer to implement

11. Optional temp mod staff of incoming huge raid

    We've all seen it: a huge international tournament or event is ending, and the channel hosting that event with 30,000-200,000 concurrent viewers ends their stream by raiding a small content creator with 30 or so concurrent viewers. While this is an amazing act of community support, it often completely inundates and overwhelms the raided channel's ability to moderate the stream.

    A nice feature would be to allow the streamer (or maybe their mods) the ability to temporarily allow the raiding channel.

    Otherwise, as an extension of the current 'knock' collaboration feature, a large raiding channel like this could use a hybrid raid-knock feature that, at least for a little while, if accepted by the raided streamer, allow for the chats to be merged (preserving both sets of moderation staff), so the raiding channel's moderation staff could help deal with any unruly actions by the people they're bringing over.

    Tl;dr: 'give streamers the option to temporarily allow raiding channel staff to moderate during a major stream raid'

12. Twitch made a mistake, asmond does not believe people should be bombed. he is NOT a bigot

    from what limited information i have. i see
    AsmonGold was banned for what he did not do.

    https://x.com/ChurchOfGame/status/1846490663220617688

    i have evidence that he did not say what people reported him for. he does not say that the people should be bombed at all.

    He even rightly calls out the homophobia/ transphobia of the Catholic Church!

    but it's part of a long standing hate of the man by people that have nothing better to do or some ideological *****.

    they say he hates women. he does not.

    So can you undo it? there's a lot of horrible stslander and and misunderstandings coming about BECAUSE OF THIS BAN.

    Twitch should be responsible in dispelling misinformation and not listening to it when a streamer is arguably is false flagged. I do not have faith in the team because one of their biggest streamers directly harassed a woman and called her a future school shooter and female incel... and slandered her as racist when she WASN'T.

    not at all. But Hasan is just dishonest like that. and what did he get? nothing.

    and Twitch should be more responsible when making these bans.

    i'm not a fan of this. There are people who explicitly violate terms of service. even bigger than asmondgold but get hit with a ban.

    context should be key.

    and unless i'm wrong this ban was done in error.

    https://x.com/i/status/1846490663220617688

    https://x.com/i/status/1846490663220617688

    the videos for context are here.

    full context https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2276712343?t=0h49m17s

    I AM NOT THIS STREAMER.

    there's some issues. maybe i over looked. however a ban and the rumors circulating... they're not being helped. and now it's ideological warfare between two camps.

    one twitch sides with.

    i'm not sure that this is a positive ruling especially so close to the death of Matthew Shepard.

    Are we really going to play moral relativism and say anti lgbt parts of the world are "equal"? when they don't see any of us as equal?

    Of course they dont' deserve to be bombed or genocided.

    Hasan argues "culture can change" and the bombing is stopping that change. very good. but that' is not now.

    are we really going to send THAT kind of message out there?

    from what limited information i have. i see
    AsmonGold was banned for what he did not do.

14. Option to quickly ban all raiders that came from the same raid

    In the Review recent raids menu a quick option to ban all raiders from the same raid.

    It should not be an easy to missclick button, ask to user to write in "CONFIRM" or something to make sure it can't be used by accident.

    This Feature would be a great help to counter hate and bot raids.

    The channel owner should be able to decide if mods are able to use it or only the owner.

15. Ban the ableist slur ****** from the platform

    Twitch draws the line with slurs and terms that are deemed offensive and some are not allowed on the platform at all. However the ableist slur/ word "***" / "*****" are allowed on this platform. It's very disheartening to see that such awful terms are allowed, especially when they are rooted in ableism. I've reported other content creators for coming to my stream calling me this slur and nothing happened. I see some of the top creators on this platform say it repeatedly in a single stream. Why are certain slurs not allowed, but ableist ones are? I'd love to see the TOS reflected to show that you do not allow ableism such as this word being used on the platform. Thank you for reading this.

16. More thorough investigations on reported streamers/users.

    I am a Mod in a couple of channels and I do take moderation very seriously. I also try to keep Twitch a safe place, as much as possible.

    What happened:
    A streamer I mod for was the victim of insults and hateful speech yesterday (June the 11th 2024). The perpetrator was reported by myself and other Mods of the victim. The insults/speech were done during the perpetrators stream. They were live at the same time as the victim. (no VOD)

    In less than a minute after the report, I have already received an answer from Twitch, that no violation could be found and nothing will be done to the perpetrator.

    There is no way someone made any investigation in under a minute and declined the reports of multiple Mods.
    I understand that an investigation without a VOD is difficult, But Twitch needs to have a way of an investigation in such cases. What is the "report live stream" there for, if it does not provide any help at all.

17. I suggest added a feature that allows banned or timeout based on a set 'string' of characters over a term or phrase

    I suggest added a feature that allows banned or timeout based on a set 'string' of characters over a term or phrase as simple add extra vowels an random characters to the start of end of word causes the banned terms to miss it. Exmaple: " Twitch = Scam" follow but something about a gambling site is something that get spammed in my Streamers chat often and simple ad and extra I and a like so " Twiitch = Scaaam " to get around the blockterms!
    Also maybe the setting to auto-ban base on a string or term/phrase instead of just timeout out might be good!

18. Quick ban option in all chats for moderators to use for the channels they mod for

    Whenever I see people acting in a way I want them banned in the spaces I mod for I find myself opening all those channels & individually banning them there. I'd love to be able to click on users in the chat I'm in & not moderating for & same as with blocking & reporting, select a "ban in channel/ban..." option. Ideally a list should pop up then so I can select where to ban the user as not all channels might apply the same ruleset. I guess being able to enter the reason in those fields then would be helpful too. Would really save me some time & can help moderators/streamers everywhere get something "positive" out of a bad situation on a different channel- which obviously also benefits all their communities. Thank you!

19. Stop the most recent Automod changes which prevents posting normal words and emotes

    It is becoming VERY annoying when 1 out of 8 of my messages doesn't get posted even though I'm using normal words and emotes I have always used (like the word "ah" or the LUL emote).
