Moderator communication What i'd like to propose is a separate chat window thats designated for moderators. One of the biggest issues when it comes to larger streamers is an endless chat torrent that makes it near impossible to catch mod messages, even with slow mode enabled. By adding in a designated mod chat window, it would enable the broadcaster to freely swap between that and their main chat, and that way communications from their moderators won't get lost within a rapidly moving text wall.

Pre-emptive ban of followers with certain user names to avoid bots Allow streamers to pre-emptively ban and block new followers if they include certain words in their username.
This is to avoid follows by bots.
I have been swarmed by bots containing the word "hoss" and it's proving overwhelming.
By implementing this feature as an option in the automod, we would be able to apply a Regex filter preventing these bots from following.

Add more flexibility to AutoMod Currently the AutoMod bot does not allow for timeouts, whitelisting of URLs and more. I would love to drop 3rd party bot moderation tools all together, but the current settings of AutoMod do not provide enough features to make it a viable means for moderation.
For instance, non-vips cannot post clips if I block hyperlinks as there is no way to whitelist the URL for it.
Please consider adding more features to AutoMod.

Add chat moderation tools to mitigate serial ban evaders Sometimes the chat experience is impaired by trolls continually and relentlessly creating/using additional alternative accounts to repeatedly circumvent any ban, return to chat, and continue spamming or harassing the channel.
I suggest that Twitch provide an additional set of moderation commands, capabilities, and information in the chat-related APIs and IRC interfaces to assist broadcasters and their channel bots to control abuse in these types of situations.
Some ideas for suggested channel Moderator Commands/Options to Add:
- "Approved" chatters list - A List/Hash table of unlimited size for any users manually approved by a moderator to chat plus a list of all…

Allow Editors to turn on/off branded content Editors on a channel can edit title, tags and a few other things but can't turn on/off the branded content option, think that it would be nice to have that feature be available to Editors to help the streamer so they can focus on games or whatever they are doing and just have to tell a editor to turn it on/off.

Hungarian words are not compliant with Twitch content guidelines!?!! On a Hungarian language for channel points and predictions some words are restricted and handled as it would be a swear word in English.
"Vagy" means in Hungarian "or" or "be". I wrote this words in Hungarian:
"Ha új vagy". Means if you are new.
But I can not create this reward as I get this error message: "*This is not compliant with our content guidelines."
Tell me what guidelines is against the Hungarian word "vagy"?
And there are more words which is moderated!
Please remove automatic moderation on this tools ASAP! We can not create proper content for our…

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.

Shield Mode: First-Time Chatter Constraint should operate through Suspicious Users (aka Low Trust Users) Shield Mode allows for messages from first-time chatters to be silently dropped.
A better implementation of this restriction would operate through low-trust-users (where the chatter is marked as restricted in the suspicious users interface), so mods can see the messages that were trying to be sent, and optionally unrestrict good faith first-time chatters.
With the current implementation, mods don't know who are the blocked first-time chatters or what message content they are trying to send. Via the suspicious users interface, mods could unrestrict first-time chatters that appear in good faith while shield mode is activated.

Requirements to become a channel moderator New channels have MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS to fulfill to gain relevance. Why are there no requirements to become a moderator? they have "POWERS" and FUNCTIONS similar to the OWNER of the channel, and yet there is no filter to make them a moderator.
I want to bring in a requirement for an account to be able to become a channel moderator.
- Requirement: minimum time of account creation, for example, for someone to be able to add another account as moderator to his channel, the account has to be at least 3 days old or 7 days old.
Every day there are…

User notes in moderation screen For streamers and moderators, the ability to add highlighted notes to users' nicks to remember important information they once shared.
Like gender, birthdays, pets, favorite things...

Affiliates should be Verified Accounts for Phone Verified Chat re: https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2021/09/29/securing-your-chat-with-phone-and-email-verification/
The FAQ suggests alternatives to mobile verification, VOIP, et al., are not good enough for verification; i.e., too cheap to spoof.
I'm an affiliate in long standing, can that fact not be verification that I can be trusted not to make duplicate accounts? Twitch has my tax ID, I'm pretty sure that they're pretty sure who I am. I do use Authy (and other online services) for verification, but I do not use cell networks ("mobile").
It makes little sense that Twitch has approved Us affiliates to represent their Terms of Service well enough to pay us, yet…

Timeouts shouldn't remove MOD status but BANS should still. Hey!
I know a lot of streamers (including me) who have a "self sacrifice" channel point redemption and my MODS for some reason always want to redeem it...
I was wondering if we can get timeout that don't remove MOD status to a MOD but when banned that their MOD status would still be removed.
I know it is this way to prevent anyone with access to the person's account that is MOD or the MOD themselves posting, breaking rules. I've had MODs break rules and do some pretty awful stuff (Try to ban everyone) but most part IMO if…

Option to Automatically Redirect to Mod View When a channel that I moderate for goes live, there's two main ways that I load their stream; the pop-up notification at the top right, or clicking their name in the left-side panel. It's a bit inconvenient loading the channel, then having to click another button to redirect to a different page again (/moderator/<channel>).
I think it would be convenient to have an option, maybe a toggle option in Mod Settings in chat, to automatically load the /moderator/<channel> page when you load a channel that you're a moderator for. That way, Mod View isn't forced onto anyone unless they enable…

Add Option To Force A Specific User To Watch Ads We have Timeout and Ban options, but those are confrontational and make a viewer leave. I propose we add a new option to force problematic users to watch ads if they're being annoying but not outright ban-worthy.
Trolls love to troll, so give us the option to troll them back if they complain about ads or are just being a pest. This is a win for everyone -- Twitch gets to run more ads, Mods get to troll trolls, and streamers get paid for more ad views.
No cooldown, let us do it as often as needed, and perhaps with…

Lead-Mod having their own section on mod-view. I was thinking of adding a section for the lead-mod on mod-view similar to how VIPs and regular mods have. That way it'll be separated for it other mods to see who is the lead-mod is if the mods are lurking within the chat.

Searchable audit history log of important moderator actions The broadcaster should be able to see who made changes to their channel, even if they did not have their Twitch chat or mod view open when the action was taken.
These are moderator actions that should be auditable: such as turning on Slowmode or Subscribersonly, or Pausing a channel points redemption category, or Marking a redemption as Completed or Rejected.
Currently there seems no way to figure out for sure who was responsible for the change: if a moderator makes these changes when the streamer is offline and not connected to chat, Or if the information has scrolled off…

Warning system - Report warnings issued in chat to other moderators outside mod view While dealing with two viewers arguing, I used the warning system to the viewers involved. During evaluation other moderators mentioned that they are not informed of warnings issued by me because these are only reported in mod view, which not every moderator uses.
Outside mod view, timeouts and bans issued by a moderator are visible in chat to other mods outside mod view, but a warning issued is not. Seems like an oversight and hope this is an easy fix to add this.

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…

Bulk Bans Would it be possible to create a tool that would allow mods/streamers to obtain KNOWN troublemaking accounts such as the recent string of hate raids and bots and then ban them in bulk as opposed to one at a time?
I moderate for several streamers and I've been trying my hardest to help support the more nervous ones who have been getting follows from suspicious accounts matching the ones I'm sure most of you are aware of. But going through and manually banning one at a time is extremely time consuming, especially considering there are so many of these accounts.

Channel points complete/refunded history Add channel point completion/refunds to the activity feed.
Occasionally a new or not paying attention mod may complete/complete all/refund/refund all without realising that was the wrong action or the redemption has not been completed.
This allows the moderator to go back in the queue and let the broadcaster know what was completed by accident etc.
