  1. Hello everyone! We need to add the ability to upload and download a list of banned words to the automod as a file, as well as have Twitch automatically add new banned words to the automod, or allow moderators to upload a list.

  2. Message sent using special means such as Resub or Watch Streak doesn't appear on Viewercard. People could send weird message and it won't appear on their chat history which would make moderation harder. This kind of oversight shouldn't be a thing in the first place

  3. I mod for a streamer that tends to get a particularly large number of haters who violate Twitch TOS. Upon reporting them to Twitch, I get many emails from Twitch stating action has been taken against them.

    "We wanted to let you know that we have reviewed your safety report and determined that a violation of our Terms of Service and/or Community Guidelines occurred. As a result, enforcement action has been taken."

    Can this email also include information about which user was taken against? We have reported hundreds of violators, and have received a large number of these action taken…

  4. there is a massive and hypocritical gap in how Twitch enforces its rules between top-tier partners and smaller creators.Sexual Content & Nudity: Many female creators openly exploit the meta by wearing revealing clothing, body painting, or completely skipping underwear while explicitly highlighting intimate body parts, yet they receive zero to minimal punishment. At the same time, smaller channels get permanently banned for minor wardrobe infractions.Loot boxes and In-game Roulette: Streamers freely promote skin gambling, case openings, and unregulated web-roulettes despite the official platform-wide bans.Hate Speech & Slurs: Certain favored streamers regularly use banned derogatory words (slurs) or toxic language without…

  5. 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…

  6. 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…

  7. This would have to only be viewable by the streamer. It would also need the chatter to have it look like the message was sent in chat. It would also be helpful if that action auto-flagged to suspicious user with a mod comment about trying to post streamer's identifiable information. Streamer can then delete the note if it doesn't apply to their sensitive Personally Identifiable information. Streamers deserve protection!

  8. 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.

  9. As a user, I would like to request native support to Twitch for a quotes / memorable moments system that can record / recall text that is inputted by Creators/Moderators. 3rd Party APIs already do this to a degree, but once the API depreciates the functionality is lost.

    These quotes should be able to be called from the chat window either randomly or by specific number. The quotes could also record automatically the time / date stamp of the creator, and the category / title that the creator had for that stream.

    Quotes should have the flexibility to be managed…

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

  11. 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.

  12. I’m reaching out on behalf of the 2b2t Minecraft content creator community to suggest creating a dedicated 2b2t category on Twitch.

    Recently, multiple 2b2t streamers have received short suspensions for “cheating” while streaming normal 2b2t gameplay. This appears to be causing confusion because 2b2t is an anarchy Minecraft server where modified clients and gameplay modifications are permitted by the server itself. The official 2b2t website states:

    “Players are allowed to use cheats and modifications on the server. However, the server may not allow full functionality of your cheats.”

    2B2T's Site https://www.2b2t.org/mods/

    Because of this, automated moderation or detection may potentially…

  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.

  15. Be it down to incorrectly estimating time, stream hiccups, plan changes or various other reasons, it's not unusual to want to extend a prediction. Currently the only options are to delete and remake the prediction, which clears everyone's bets, or leave it and deny latecomers a chance to participate.

    The option to extend the timer on a live prediction or reopen the submissions on a pending one would be a (hopefully straightforward) way of improving this.

  17. The channel I moderate has a Channel Points redemption that lets viewers timeout a moderator for 10 minutes. The timeout itself works as intended, but it also removes the moderator role, requiring the broadcaster to manually reassign it every time the timeout expires.

    Would it be possible for timed-out moderators to automatically regain their moderator role/not lose it at all once the timeout ends? This would preserve the intended functionality of the timeout while eliminating the need for the broadcaster to repeatedly re-add moderators, especially if the redemption is used frequently.

  18. You want us to run ads. You make us run ads. Let us be able to run ads on individual chatters at will (/adjail @user). Corporations may not like the optics of their name being used in a form of punishment, maybe they wouldn't even mind, but you know love of ads is very niche. Let us weaponize it and even streamers who generally don't like running ads will support this

  19. The most common words/phrases I see from spam bot accounts are:

    streamrise
    streamboo
    buy viewers
    buy followers
    cheap viewers
    best viewers
    ai viewers

    Some of them use weird European letters and symbols that are grafted into letters in order to bypass the Blocked Terms List and Nightbot filters.

    Cheap view͙e̤rs
    Ch͟eap viewers on
    Che̢ap vie̮wers on
    Best view͙e̤rs
    Bͦest vie̟wers
    Bestͮ vie͐wers ̷on

    My hope is that somehow the entire platform can pre-emptively and predictably terminate those fake accounts and prevent them from even posting a single message with words looking anything like these common texts.

  20. The Problem:
    Currently, the mod anniversary prompt operates on a strict timer. If you are hanging out in a streamer's offline chat and that timer runs out, the prompt disappears forever. This means mods have to either avoid in channels while offline, or constantly refresh to "save" the prompt until the streamer goes live.

    The Solution:
    I would love to see this feature behave like subscriber anniversaries. The prompt should persist across page refreshes and future visits until the moderator either chooses to share it, or explicitly clicks an option to "dismiss/not share this anniversary." or the anniversary "expires"
