Hi, thanks for flagging this and sharing your suggestion.
We share and understand your concerns about how the intentional, repeated misuse of tags can undermine the purpose of the tags product itself. Tags are an important discoverability feature for communities, and a powerful way for all Creators—but especially those that are underrepresented—to express their personal identity and creative vision for their content.
We also do not feel Twitch should be the judge of Creators’ personal or creative identity, so we typically only enforce against the misuse of tags when it is associated with other behavior that violates our Community Guidelines such as hateful conduct or harassment.
That said, as the VTuber community’s experience demonstrates, there are limitations to this approach and we are actively investigating additional steps we can take to protect and improve the integrity of the tags feature at scale, without infringing on good faith Creators’ personal choice…

Not even just subtle abuse, and not just the vtuber tag. From what I saw, it was mostly Spanish streamers using both the vtuber and anime tags while performing intentionally sexual asmr. Outright fellating microphones and moaning. The content itself shouldn't be appropriate, much less the tag use. But it almost feels organized or coordinated in some way as it is clearly a group of similar *partnered* streamers performing identical content. One even admitting to their use of the tag in their stream title. It's obvious it's abuse, it's obvious they are trying to milk some non-existent "meta" or troll actual vtubers. Twitch needs to step in before this becomes a whole thing and more people start doing it.

Honestly, suggesting the moderator role must be used to expand VIP slots is just a poor decision on the part of a streamer and isn't a valid point in whether there should be more VIP slots. Someone who gives out Mod slots like VIP is just asking for problems and that is a personal issue.
So anyone saying they are "forced" to mod people because they are out of VIP slots is just excusing poor management and planning.

Agreeing with others - the current mod/editor roles are not sufficient. Truly the "editor" role should be more about clips and vods than moderating, and there should be more advanced moderator permission options.
Preferably, a streamer should be able to define several "tiers" of moderator role and assign them individually. That way a streamer may have many normal moderators and a few admins who have access to the higher order operations.
The fact that a moderator can start a raid but they can't manage the VIP list, is a bit ridiculous. So, there needs to be additions made to the list of controls and options moderators have, but the streamer should be able to decide which controls moderator tiers have access to instead of this current all-or-nothing approach which means a streamer must either go without someone having these tools or risk giving tools to people they may not want to have them.
A moderator permissions overhaul is long overdue.
What the OP seems to be suggesting though is there should also be a "Channel Manager" role. Someone who has access to A LOT of options regarding the broadcasters channel and can manage most, if not all, standard broadcaster features. I believe this is also an important feature, but this should be inherently distinct from "moderators".

Hey all! Wanted to let you know that we recently updated the Teams color so that it looks more interactive and noticeable. We decided to add it to the About panel, because it is more about the streamer - where it was before was more about that particular stream.

We’re reviewing this. Curious how long you think would be ok.

Reviving - to expand, I think streamers should be able to ban emotes *of certain channels*. So many drama channels have people use their emotes to harass other creators and their communities, a streamer should be able to blacklist channels so their emotes are not allowed in their chat. Additionally, emotes from channels that are banned should automatically be banned as well.

We’re happy to announce that we have released an additional update to address these concerns. Streamers can now prevent their banned users from watching their livestreams. You can find and turn on this feature in the Moderation settings section of the Creator Dashboard, through the “Stop banned users from viewing stream” toggle.
Please note, this update 1). does not prevent users from watching livestreams from an incognito window or while logged out and 2). does not prevent users from viewing VODs, clips or highlights. We plan to explore extending the functionality of bans further, including but not limited to preventing VOD and clip playback.
In addition, we’ve made an update so that users that are blocked will now automatically be blocked from watching a streamer’s livestreams.
We will leave this thread open for your other points regarding preventing view of other content types and account creation.

The ability to fully lock down chat should have been a feature from the very beginning. If we are responsible for our chatroom then we should at least have the keys to manage it properly.

That's ridiculous, a banned user is banned for a reason, permitting them any access to the chat or stream undermines the point of the ban. A banned user shouldn't be able to see chat, see stream, or even access the channel. It should, by all accounts, make the streamer utterly invisible to the banned user. Only people who get banned would want this feature and I think that speaks to people wanting to abuse it as oppose to improve in any measurable way.

No, this is a terrible idea. Normal users have no business seeing banned user notifications.
"We also do not feel Twitch should be the judge of Creators’ personal or creative identity, so we typically only enforce against the misuse of tags when it is associated with other behavior that violates our Community Guidelines such as hateful conduct or harassment."
I'm not sure you are watching the same streams we are, because if you were, you might be recognizing the problem areas in some of the "creative identities" that are utilizing certain tags. Unless there is some profound loophole that allows people to interpret words that have pretty clear meanings in whatever way they feel, and that intent is somehow relevant over content, then it's obvious there isn't any good or legitimate reason for the groups of people that are failing to comply with what the rest of us see as pretty distinct standards. It's obvious it is predominantly a group, an organized unit of people who share identical content, identical behaviors, and are equally and substantially unwilling to behave reasonably - all partnered streamers, as I recall.
I am disappointed in how unsurprised I am that Twitch staff are giving themselves an out over what is a pretty obvious solution. You inform the offending partnered streamers to comply with base standards of behavior and that failure to do so will result in the termination of their channels. If it is a meaningful thing to them then they will provide rational reasoning behind their behavior and we can all be enlightened. Otherwise, Twitch enforces simple rules and they will either conform or be subject to what should be routine administrative action.
