  1. Moderators can currently either monitor or restrict a user. These are two different moderation actions with different effects on the user.

    The problem is that these two states are displayed completely identically to moderators. A user who is being monitored and a user who has been restricted receive the exact same indicator in the moderation interface.

    As a result, a moderator cannot tell at a glance which of the two states is actually active.

    This already causes regular confusion between moderators, even on smaller channels. In my own moderation work, this is a genuine challenge, especially when multiple moderators are…

  2. I would like to suggest the creation of a new editor-level role or permission set designed specifically to help streamers manage Affiliate and Partner features, without requiring full Editor access.

    This new role could allow trusted moderators to assist with:

    Managing subscriber emotes

    Managing subscriber badges

    Managing Bit badges and Bit-related images

    Uploading and updating images related to subscriptions and Bits

    Managing Channel Points rewards (creation, editing, enabling/disabling)

    Organizing Affiliate/Partner visual assets

    At the same time, this role would not include access to:

    Financial information or payouts

    Stream key or broadcast settings

    Account security or sensitive configurations

    Many streamers rely…

  3. This has been a pervasive issue within Twitch for years and affects streamers of all sizes. Bot accounts will spam the same posts advertising cheap AI viewers for sale at websites like Streamboo.com, Twitchmax, Twitchstar, etc. Twitch HQ has seemingly infinite resources to invest in introducing new AI-centric technology that nobody has asked for, but refuses to do even the slightest bit to actually tackle this issue. I block and report multiple instances of these bots every single stream I do, and I've streamed every day for the past year. The accounts are deleted within seconds of reporting them, so…

  4. I would like to clarify why a very common word in the Russian-speaking community—the name of a domestic farm animal, specifically "Петух" (the male chicken)—has been added to the list of prohibited words.

    This term is widely used when discussing farming, agriculture, or poultry. Human moderators can easily determine its intended meaning from the context and remove only genuinely offensive content when necessary - and give a ban for that.

    Why has this word been added to the general prohibited-word dictionary if the automated system cannot take context into account? It appears unable to distinguish between an insult and a…

  5. All Moderators should be auto-subscribed. Mods miss out on important context during advertisements and we should get to use the channel emotes without restrictions. Emotes help us make community announcements with the emotes.

  6. Currently after Shield Mode has ended it’s hard to see a clean list of banned and flagged users during the raid. It would be nice if we could get a quick summary log whenever you turn it off so everything that happened can easily be reviewed by mods after.

  7. Accessibility setting and/or glossary available for Quick Action icons that show in stream manager and mobile mod view. Some icons are repeated but different colors (ex: raid channel vs stop raids for 1 hour; sub only chat is a filled in star vs manage goals is an outlined star) and other icons aren't quite as clear what they mean until you learn them or have access to the full list for descriptions.

    It would be helpful, especially for mobile mod view where you are unable to hover to check the name of the icon, to have the option to show…

  8. Moderators should be able to reply to chatters inside of restricted Chat. This can help diffuse situations and help for safety communications.

  9. (This text was translated from Japanese using DeepL. It may be a little difficult to read.)

    Hello. This is my first time posting a request.
    This is a request regarding Raid settings. If I’ve posted this in the wrong category, I’d appreciate it if you could let me know.

    The community I belong to is under a barrage of harassment attacks from numerous throwaway accounts. (The perpetrator is likely a single person.)
    On my channel, I’ve restricted chat posts and follows to accounts that have completed email or phone number verification, and since I’ve also implemented a moderation bot, my…

  10. Creating an system that allows auto mod to block certain words for only a specific group, mainly antibot thought.

    This could also be applied for follow age instead of account age, and other trust factors

    example: new account (maybe few hours old) he sends something about scams or buying viewers, AutoMod will auto block the terms for that no matter how sensitive is the terms are. while for users with older accounts will be more protected and be able to bypass that really sensitive filtering.

  11. I believe the pinned message in the chat could be more visually prominent. Currently, it often goes unnoticed in busier chats.

    Options such as a different color, visual emphasis, or even positioning it right below the player would greatly help in communicating important announcements, rules, and channel information.

    This would make things easier for both streamers and moderation, especially on large channels and during live streams with a high volume of messages.

  12. I would really appreciate a way to filter chat to only show messages, and filter out redeems or gift subs. I moderate for a moderately busy streamer, and sometimes chat starts spamming redeems. While the streamer is fine with it, I am annoyed because it prevents me from moderating chat properly. A filter would greatly improve my moderating experience.

  13. So, The emotes on twitch is currently bugging out because some users reported that the emotes would display incorrectly depending on what the user have last see the emote. For example, If a mod posts a pinned message with moving emotes. The emote will shake uncontrollably and show different wrong emotes from other channels. If I had to guess it's because twitch system works on a system where the displaying of the emotes on certain platform causes it to get confused and called the incorrect emotes instead.

  14. TL;DR: Mod View Theater Mode that shows only configured Widgets.

    When viewing a stream while not in Mod View, you can go into theater mode and it'll minimize all other elements of the stream. I'd like to be able to do the same in Mod View. Where it'll minimize the side and top bars while keeping configured widgets. This maximizes viewing experience as a moderator while removing elements you're not using.

  15. Give us back the ability to Edit Stream Information on mod view in mobile. PLEASE. I don't know why it was taken away, but there are Lead/Head mods who actually use it, and it is very annoying to not be able to assist my friend by just updating the stream category for them.

  18. Hi,

    To improve the roles, custom roles (like discord) would be the best option to fit all community needs.

    If not, here a proposition of improvement of the different roles with:
    | + : Add role / perm
    | - : Remove perm

    + Admins <-- without this, people share account
    | + All permissions except Monetization > Affiliate | Partner

    Lead Moderators
    | + Ability to delete all mods / lead mods / streamer messages
    | + Can add / remove Light Moderators

    Moderators
    | + Edit title / category <-- Many streamers give editor only for this (or…

  19. Recently, the role of Lead Moderator was introduced.

    While it grants slightly more permissions, in my opinion, they're still not enough. For example, I still lack permission to edit channel points (rewards). I also can't edit the info panels. This begs the question...why? It would be great if this could be added for Lead Moderators.

  20. Mod notes and warnings automatically delete whenever any other mod takes an action on a chat member. Please stop this from happening. Would also be nice to see if another moderator is writing a mod note or warning in the User information.
