Hey all – thank you so much for all of your feedback around this change. We understand that this was a feature that many of you used in various situations, including the ability for Moderators to highlight or distinguish messages in Chat, and we agree that is important. We are listening to your ideas and feedback in this area – stay tuned for updates!
To provide context as to why we’ve made the decision to remove the original functionality of the /me command, we wanted to address the way this feature was being used to perpetrate abuse against members of our community. While we recognize this change is frustrating for some, the safety of our community remains our top priority.

It's trivial to get around IP bans (VPN, etc) and you only need to have one email account even if signup email addresses need to be unique (most providers allow <youremail>+<whatever>@whatever.com (eg: myname+t1@gmail.com, myname+t2@gmail.com, etc. all go to the same email account but are unique). MAC spoofing is a thing as well. I don't know what the answer is here, but some acknowledgement would be good as a start.

We’re looking into adding the option to set a cooldown period that banned chatters must wait out before they can submit a request, including a “never” option that would allow you to prevent requests entirely.

"This is something that may take us time to get to, but in the meantime, you can Deny requests and place instructions for your system in the Deny Message." Yeah, see, the whole point is to *not* have to deal with doing this.... You're enabling harassers, abusers, racists, *phobes, etc. to all have a final jab and this increases the tax on both streamers and their mods. Thanks for giving me more work, folks.

Apart from this, it might be worth making it so you have to be *active* with your account for an amount of time too. That way manofsteel doesn't make 200 accounts up front so they are all ready to go when needed.
