1. More specific filtering

   While running tests to see how effective auto-mod is at picking up slurs or discriminatory terms, I tested common racial slurs and a term previously used to improperly describe disabled individuals. Auto-mod failed to register any of these and instead held a message detecting the word "Retar", which means to defy or challenge.

   In order to be able to actually trust Auto-Mod to be of use while streaming, it seems it severely needs more fine-tuning. I find this concerning, because if a streamer has few or no mods available, this leaves it up to them to juggle entertainment, gameplay, communication, AND moderating the chat.

2. A single button press that can ban and report bots selling followers

   As the title says, just a single button allowing the banning, block, and report of bots selling followers. It takes a little while for a small streamer (who are the ones targeted by these bots) to block, ban, and report with a message so that the bots are removed and dont both anyone else. It;s disruptive to the flow of the stream. A single button to ban, block, and areport a bot selling viewers/followers would be a great boon to small streamers and help twitch get rid of more of these bots as no doubt more would be reported.

3. Mods Can't Chat

   mods should DEFINITELY not be allowed to chat

   they can read people's entire chat history which obviously feels like **** for everyone, the sword looks incredibly ugly, as it's on a very basic level a celebration of segregation, discrimination, unequal rights, unfair privileges, hate and arbitrary violence; for the most part, it's like we have the most unethical security guards in the universe (at least 50% of them are openly racists, the entire thing is based on a "master race" sort of interpretation of reality) being on stage in front of the musicians, ruining the show just by being there, and randomly throwing boiling water on the crowd based on their mood and for completely random reasons

   twitch is the most morally indefensible place on the internet just because of that: actual criminals are in a position of authority and power

   it's a complete and total disaster; at least as far as music is concerned, which is most of what i know about twitch but OH BOY DO I KNOW IT WELL

   so your choice is very clear and very simple there, guys: you accept that twitch stands for hate and discrimination and is fundamentally built to reward bullies and people with zero moral guidelines, or you change that **** to turn it into a place of love and understanding and peace and harmony instead of this ******* dystopian game of who's going to be the biggest piece of **** of them all and harass a weak and vulnerable streamer long enough for them to just handle them the keys to their entire ******* life for eternity

   it's really a sad, sad thing and you have a responsibility to fix what is a terrible, terrible mistake, and by doing that, the chance to save those people's life

   i'm serious

   the idea that mods are saving the planet is the most ridiculously and insanely stupidly toxic concept of all time; it's not only making everyone's life miserable, it's sabotaging and hurting oh-so-deeply so many streamers life who end up trusting those people because Twitch told them to, when they OBVIOUSLY really, really shouldn't

   now if you're telling me that the occasional bot-raid or what not and the extremely rare actual need to delete a message justifies their existence, I can ear that, but that doesn't justify in any way them ruining a chat by spamming NRA commercials in a "Heil the master race" sort of vibe

   like holy ******* **** this looks so incredibly bad and twitch music has ZERO chance of developing in any meaningful way in that context and for that exact reason and they're all gonna end up jumping from a sinking boat at some point and go on youtube or X and that would also be quite sad because the twitch music community has so many bright sides, it's a wonderful thing and a wonderful place, deep down, and it should flourish and allow for artists to flourish but it's not because Chat is Unbearable and Physically Unwatchable. Streamers are paying infinite money a bunch of morons to make sure that anyone chill and reasonable who's not a mentally ill spamming maniac and doesn't believe in arbitrary violence just goes away; new people arrive, reasonable people leave, because this part is just so unbelievably dumb and ends up making everything else taste like ****

   I spent over 50K on twitch, i'm not sure what's the exact number; i feel OK about it, I love these people and they deserved it

   if i'm not the biggest financial supporter of twitch music of all time, then there can't be too many people ahead of me

   twitch music has the potential to be the greatest, biggest thing in the history of music, and the only thing able to compete with the rise of AI music

   but it's not going to achieve any of that in the current "only bad vibes" framework

   weapons suck, we don't want weapons at a concert; looks gross, sounds gross, feels gross; mass surveillance sucks; violence sucks (99% of the time that i witnessed a message being deleted it was a bad and unfair decision that made everything worse because DIALOGUE BEATS VIOLENCE), the entire thing sucks and makes no sens

   so maybe we use our brain now

   and we make it beautiful

   -Mods should either not exist or hide
   -Maybe keep it to only 1 special badge and change the ******* logo at least for the music section, please: it looks incredibly disgusting in that context

   maybe the sword is fine for videogame streamers

   it never was, nerver is and never will be fine on a music stream (only exception is ThreeThirty_ maybe but that's a pretty special unique case and there are thousands and thousands of douchebags that are not him)

   Think about it.

   I'm not suggesting you should be politically engaged against monarchy and racism; you've built an entire anti-democratic and anti-universal chat model and maybe that's what twitch is and always will be, i don't know; what i'm saying is: it's making music strictly worse, it's making musicians life strictly worse, they're all in a terrible mental health state and the fact that they're immersed in the mind of the most unethical and distasteful people on the planet (which is the one and only way to get to that position, by being a disrespectful spamming egomaniac) seems most likely related, and it's costing them money and on a fundamental, structural level, it's costing Twitch money because twitch music could be at least 10 times bigger if it wasn't intrinsically toxic and immediately unbearable to most people

   nobody likes the police, certainly not at a concert, and you know who really, really don't like them and are ******* nowhere to be seen in the music community? black people; authority sounds bad, it looks bad, and feels awful, authority is how unfair laws and unethical people with a violence and empathy issue end up making everyone's like miserable in so many contexts, in real life, all around the world, in a very, very real way

   the entire idea was just bad thinking from the beginning, but you don't necessarily have to change everything, just give them a big time out and tell streamers to make all their friends VIP instead, except that one dude who really wants to read people's chat history and delete messages but is then, logically, fairly, not allowed to ruin everything by spamming on top of that ridiculousness

   Thank you for your time. I appreciate the work you're doing and there has been a few cool changes and improvements and I respect that. But, yeah, once again, as far as music is concerned, everything is a meaningless detail next to systemic spiritual misery in a very direct, concrete and factual way. Those are not my opinions. This is an objective description of reality. Help musicians. Fix chat. Be a positive voice for society. Be a force for good. You're obviously not, right now. But you could be.

   Maybe at some point we should only have AI being allowed to delete messages and read everyone's chat history. Maybe.

   Maybe people are equal and should be treated as such. Maybe universal peace and love is a good idea. Maybe.

   mods should DEFINITELY not be allowed to chat

   they can read people's entire chat history which obviously feels like **** for everyone, the sword looks incredibly ugly, as it's on a very basic level a celebration of segregation, discrimination, unequal rights, unfair privileges, hate and arbitrary violence; for the most part, it's like we have the most unethical security guards in the universe (at least 50% of them are openly racists, the entire thing is based on a "master race" sort of interpretation of reality) being on stage in front of the musicians, ruining the show just by being there,… more

4. Add SO icon to mod icon/user menu

   With the addition of the /shoutout capability added for mods, I think a really easy feature would be to add an icon, even a simple S in a square?... For those of the mods that like having mod icons on their chat, one could easily shoutout someone in chat without even typing it out. Taking it a step further, if you don't have mod icons on, you could click on their name and one of the options (along with view, gift a sub, etc) would be the option to shoutout the user. (this would be exceptionally helpful with those modding on mobile.)

5. Preview/Test Stream

   As a streamer it would be really helpful to do some technical/test streams. The issue would be that we can now ruin someones Stream Streak, or mess up your own stats because you go live completely outside of your schedule and without promoting it.

   The idea would be to have a option on the creator dashboard to activate a "Preview Mode"/"Test Mode". If you then go live you wouldn't go live for everyone but you could test overlays/events/alerts/features you made yourself. This would also not affect anyones stream streak or your own stats (since it's not a real stream)

   Maybe it would be a good idea to have a list of people that can see your preview stream, such as mods, VIPs and/or a custom list of usernames that can access a preview stream.

6. Super Mod Status

   Would be nice if we could assign a "super mod" of sorts, so they can do extra things, like un-mod other mods? Not every streamer has the time to sort out grievances in their communities, especially in the mod team, so a "super mod" would be nice to have so they can get rid of toxic people from the team, without having to burden the busy streamer.

7. Hide Mod View Icon

   Hide Mod View Icon

   I would really like to be able to hide/deactivate the Mod View Icon whilst being in Non Mod View.

   I don't always need to jump into full mod view less crowded streams. And I usually have multiple browsers open with non mod view and mod view when moderating more busy streams.

   It happens every so often that I accidentally click on that mod view button. (Which is usually not the way I enter it anyway).
   So I just wish we had an option to hide the icon, like the shield and and Highlight Settings Icons.

8. Support the LGBTQ+ community by removing ban of the words "Gay" and "Transexual"

   Hello, I have recently discovered that Twitch considers the following words to be against content guidelines:

   Gay
   Trans
   Transexual

   I am asking that these words be whitelisted in support of Twitch's vast queer community. It can be assumed these words were banned to cut down on trolling in the communities. However, I feel it should be the people who misuse these words who are regulated and punished. Not the queer people who's identities are being attacked and invalidated by having these words banned. This month is pride month and Twitch is showcasing queer creators on the front page every day while simultaneously saying that the words used to describe their identity are against their content policies. Please, can we correct this gross missight?

9. Require logging in to view a stream

   So in practice this idea seems simple and would be effective. The basic premise of this would be that the Streamer can toggle on/off a feature that would require someone to have a twitch account and be following to view the content otherwise it would just be a black screen that says "Please login and follow to view the following content". I think this could help prevent harassment on various levels as I will describe.

   Scenario 1 - Stream Sniping
   So for anyone who plays online multiplayer games, stream snipers can ruin a stream quiet fast. Whether it be Fortnite, COD, Fall Guys, etc. there are people who take time out of their day to ruin the fun for others. Now if the feature I described above was toggled on then they wouldn't be able to open the stream in a private window and watch what's going on anonymously and carry on greifing. Instead they'd have log in with an account and be following and therefore at risk of being banned and if they were banned the screen would black out thus not giving them any opportunity. Sure they could make another account however any moderator or streamer on point could pick up on a freshly new account that just started to follow after a ban and act quickly. This would really help put a dent to stream snipers because if they do get caught they can't see the streamers POV and if they can't see it, it becomes much harder for them to ruin the experience.

   Scenario 2 - Overall Harassment
   This could help deter people who might be intent on harassing someone but can't see the stream unless they login and follow. Thus they are more likely to move on elsewhere or stop all together. For instance someone who is purely making new accounts to harass a streamer would not be able to see the reaction they intend on getting unless they keep making new accounts.

   All this could easily work in conjunction with Twitch's Suspicious User Activity that detects possible ban evaders and such thus giving them a black screen until a Moderator reviews the action and either allows them to watch or bans them.

   Anyways this is something I have thought about that could stem one of the bigger issue multiplayer streamers face with stream snipers and general harassment as well.

10. Auto action tool to clean out bots

    The amount of bots i come across saying the exact same thing is ridiculous at the moment the most common one is "cheap views at *" (* being a auto mod blocked link) whenever i come across these if i can i ban and report or just report when I'm not a mod. Given how similar the message always is implementing a auto action tool into the reporting tool so you can select the message and the system automatically compares it to a list of common bot messages to automatically action on the account instead of waiting for a manual review would speed it up and make keeping the platform clean easier.

14. Internal error whenever I try to report

    A stream should not be stuck on "Interal Error" when trying to report a stream for being anti-LGBTQIA+, discriminating, stigmatizing, being racist, being violent, so on and so forth.

    I am unable to report a streamer for being extremely transphobic and anti-LGBTQIA+, I have reported some of her mods and have gotten one banned already along with a few chatters.

    The report function is so annoying to use after typing up about 4 to 5 paragraphs to the point where clicking "Report" and not being able to successfully report the stream because it says "Internal Error"

    Do Twitch Staff applications exist? If so, checking my global chat logs or something to see if I'm eligible to be part of Twitch Staff? I see hate speech all the time and I report it and also report it to AnyKey if the abuser has the AnyKey Pledge Badge.

    Anyways, reporting a stream is always so annoying when its not able to be sent, please help.

18. Add The Ability for Mods to Send Whispers to All Followers

    Currently, users can block whispers from strangers (which most seem to have enabled), where strangers are not "someone you follow, someone you subscribe to, one of your mods, or one of your editors".

    It would be helpful if mods for "someone you follow or someone you subscribe to" were also included in this list but only be applicable if mods utilize the Quick Whisper button within Mod View. Limiting it to only when the Quick Whisper button is used would keep it from being abused outside of the stream.

    This will allow mods to send warnings to users without calling them out in chat, potentially creating drama. It is also beneficial when someone makes comments related to suicidal ideations or trauma dumping so we can send them a whisper referring them to local hotlines or emergency services without embarrassing them in chat.

    If it is limited to the Quick Whisper action in Mod View, then it could be considered to be sent on behalf of the broadcaster - the person they follow or subscribe to.

19. Savable UI Layout Presets

    I mod for multiple streamers on the same esports team, so i often have both of their chats open at the same time. my main monitor is landscape with a portrait second monitor, and there is just no easy way to reshape each UI to fit the monitor, which i have to do anytime they play together

    If there was a way for me be able to save a layout in mod view for each of my monitors so that i don't have to spend the beginning of each stream moving the chat box back and forth it would save me a ton of time
