Site-wide Ban For Specific Bot Messages
These nezhna.com spam bots are out of control. I only stream for an hour or 2 and we get about 3 of these in chat every stream, under different twitch accounts. I know a handful of my friends who stream have also seen this.
The message is something like: "Your chat's so quiet, I can hear your viewers snoring. 😴 Wake them up with NEZHNA .COM @sXV25PHp" but there are variants. I have an automod phrase set but we still need to manually ban them. I feel like we shouldn't have to do that though.
Twitch should have some sort of site-wide spam bot detection that looks for this phrase (or similar ones), auto-bans the account that sends it, and includes looking for attempts to circumvent it by using special Unicode letters such as ÑÉZHÑÄ.

The most common words/phrases I see from spam bot accounts are:
streamrise
streamboo
buy viewers
buy followers
cheap viewers
best viewers
ai viewersSome 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 ̷onMy 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.
