  1. As a feature request, Allow MODs to see & moderate created clips, currently only available to channel editors. and account owners.

    My suggestion allow MODs to 1) see all channel clips for channel they moderate for 2) edit clip titles 3) "Disable" a clip making it Private, non viewable or indexable on internet. Then keep Delete function for Editors & channel owners.

    With this I'd also suggest adding a Clips API endpoint so a person or 3rd party service could generate a CSV file of all clips on a channel. This should also be accessible to MODs & Channel owners…

  2. When I open a user's card from the chat, and can see that they've been banned or timed out, each occurrence has a timestamp on it. Make the instance clickable, and have it zoom to that time index in the message log, even if it was month's ago, so I can get context on what they were banned or timed out for.

  3. Currently, the mod view of a user exposes bans and timeouts specific to the channel. Expose bans and timeouts across all of Twitch.

  4. Replicate the "Blocked List" commonly used by Twitter. This can be implemented by modifying how the banned button works. Here is a simplified breakdown:

    1. Upgrade banned button to not instantly ban, but bring up a radial list with reason for banning. This would cut down on accidental mod missclick and add more weight to banning. Reasons can be something like "Racist/Homophobic remarks, Threating, or Other with a text box."

    2. Log the number of bans per option with account. After 3x strikes user is added to a list associated with the banned reason and notified via email. Notification is important so…

  5. Rather than removing emotes, create a chat filter that checks
    emote tags. When approving emotes, apply rating tag to emotes that could be considered "sexual/explicit", these would be filtered out in channels that haven't enabled the 18+ notification.

  6. Harassment can be a problem for some streamers on twitch. A user will come into chat and cause trouble for the broadcaster / other chatters. He might get banned, but nothing is stopping him from creating a new account and re-enterring the chat to continue causing problems. Even if the chat requires a verified email, it is easy for a troll to return. If there was on option for streamers to prevent accounts under a certain age from chatting (say, 1 or 2 days), this would make it a lot harder for people to continue trolling after getting banned. Legitimate…

  7. A streamer I mod for announced he was ending stream and was going to raid out to a channel I frequent a lot, so I figured I’d go ahead and have the raid ready to go. When he went to process the raid, it wouldn’t let him as I had already started it.

    It appears as though whoever initiated the raid is the only person who can actually “raid out” which wasn’t my intention as the streamer is the one who knows when they want to click that button (after thanking viewers, subs, saying goodnight, etc). This tool is useful…

  8. I think it would be really useful if moderators could save multiple Mod View layouts, similar to how streamers can customize their Stream Manager.

    For example, you could have different layouts depending on the stream or chat you’re moderating.

    This idea has already been suggested before, but the original post was from 2021 and didn’t get much attention.

  9. 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.

  10. like the title says, mods get timed out for one to ten seconds as a joke all the time, so streamers should have a toggle to be able to time out a moderator without the action unmodding them and kicking them out of the stream if they are using mod view at the time.

  11. There should be a way for streamers to moderate what shows in the "Viewers also watch" box, in case of hate raids messing with algo, or when there is bitterness between communities and such. Otherwise streamer's own pages would be advocating for what they themselves disagree with.

  12. As a head mod, it would be better if you had the right to delete mod messages, time out mods, or ban them from chat. This would be better than only unmodding them. In my opinion, it would be better because you can moderate more effectively and help the streamer better.

  13. After having a talk with one of my mods, it has come to their opinion that they would like to receive a payout similar to the streamers that they are moderating for. especially if they are there almost every stream.

  15. The "quarantine zone" is a dynamic feature. If a user repeatedly violates the chat rules, for example by using insults or sending inappropriate messages, they will not only be muted.

  16. I would like to see new accounts to twitch that are 30> days flagged like suspicious users. also to have these accounts show up as a different color in users list to help intercept potential bot raids. first time chatter is one thing but after that first text they can get lost in the sauce so to speak and it will make it easier for mods to track potential problems. of course this would only be visible to the streamer or a user in mod view. there would be an option for the streamer to turn this off if there…

  17. I moderate for a dozen or so streamers. Every now and then I see someone and think "hmm, that name looks familiar".

    It would be really handy if — perhaps as a tab or button on the viewer card — one could access a summary of that user's activity in other channels you moderate for. Ideally, it would include just the channels they'd ever been active in and list:

    • Following since
    • Subscription status
    • Monitored/restricted
    • The "warnings/timeouts/bans" mod actions summary
    • Timestamp of most recent comment in that chat

    Relatedly, it would be neat if the Mod Comments tab showed mod comments…

  18. At Twitchcon this year, it was mentioned that there was a new feature for AutoMod that would provide a summary/log of the actions taken to the streamer at the end of the stream. I believe this would also be useful information for the moderator team or for the lead moderator.

    It would give a powerful look into what is occurring throughout the entire stream to the teams responsible for keeping communities safe!

  19. Hey everyone! I think it would be super helpful if we had a scrolling announcements banner, kind of like the ticker you see in sports games.

    There have been plenty of times where I’ve needed to pin multiple messages or we’ve had several announcements going out during stream — but since you can only pin one at a time, you have to choose which one feels most important. A scrolling banner would fix that by letting multiple updates cycle through at once, so viewers and mods can easily stay informed without cluttering chat. It’d make everything feel more organized and…

  20. There have been many times the streamer, other mods, or even myself have gone over the blocked terms list somewhere and found old terms with no recollection on their purpose. It would be very nice to have a way to add a custom text box attached to the term to explain what it's purpose is.

    ex: This is a bot website, This is a spoiler, PII related, Used in a hate raid, etc
