  1. Prevent Unverified Users without a phone number added to their account from following your channel. This setting should be toggle-able by the streamer in the Dashboard and will prevent follow bots from spamming your stream with follows from unverified, brand new accounts that were generated with scripts.

  3. Would like a way to natively see a users name change history including date & time of change.
    Maybe even first & last message history for each username change

    For example:
    TwitchSupport - (formerly TwitchTVSupport) changed on 14 Oct 2020 22:46

  4. I think it wouldt be awesome if there where a feature in the Automod to track links in Chat. That wouldt be better than just fully block every links, so the mods can look what the link is and allow or disallow it for the chat.

  5. 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

  6. The blocked terms automatically filters uppercase and lowercase together for all entries. It would be great to have a tick box to decide if we want to block terms with a single specific capitalization (teSt) or all possible ones (test, Test, TEst, etc..).

    Example: for blocking specific words using L lowercase as a misused i (TWlTCH=> TWLTCH => TWITCH). This can apply to links with specific capitalization, emotes and more.

  7. Moderators on the browser and desktop versions of twitch have incredible access to moderation tools such as mod icons, mod view etc. this makes handling larger chat rooms incredibly easy for a group of mods working together.

    Unfortunately I, like many others, am in a position where I am a mod for a larger community, yet am often on the go and find myself using mobile twitch far more often than desktop. This makes it so much harder to keep chat under control, as the current moderation process on mobile is utterly laughable. Messages that would be deleted instantly if…

  8. Mod View - Dynamically update Message history on a User Card.

    Currently a User Card can be opened for a user of interest to see their Messages / Timeouts / Bans / Mod Comments. Once open any new Messages from that user do not appear in the card. This would be useful when 'monitoring' that user.

  9. There is a pop artist from the 80's who's music i might mention on occasion or make song requests in the appropriate streams. However as soon as i mention that name, i ALWAYS get punished by automod. i can never successfully post that name.
    it is the name of an artist who sung classics, such as: "the riddle", "i won't let the sun go down", "would'nt it be good".
    However automod instantly thinks his name is an attempt at getting around the spelling of a highly popular banned word.
    This disruption by automod prevents these songs from being played when…

  10. 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!

  11. 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"…

  12. Attempting to use the word redneck in one's stream title will result in an error suggesting this conflicts with Twitch's policy.

    Redneck is not a particularly offensive word, and there are a lot of games that use this word in the title. Immortal Redneck, Redneck Rampage, Redneck Racers to name a few.

    It's a bit silly not being able to accurately title your stream due to this.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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…

  17. you should make it clearer that shield mode is something that effects the channel not the mods view of the channel . if would also be better to make its defaults not be the strongest settings as this causes the most disruption if its accidentally toggled which is happening a lot. the principle is good though, thankyou

  19. I don't think defense mode is a good feature.
    If only the streamer is visible and some of the viewers become victims after entering the prohibited content set by the streamer without knowing it, the streamer himself has to take responsibility for it. No, if that's the case, then there's no reason for a streamer to choose a manager. The streamer can release it, and the manager doesn't have a function, it's a function that only the streamer has, so if you introduce this scary function as it is, Twitch won't be welcome anymore.

  20. The vast majority of the time that harassment occurs, the accounts being used to accomplish it are all recently created. Being able to limit chat participation (or ideally, anything that can be seen by viewers) based on the length of time the account has existed would go a long way to preventing abuse.
