    Partial Release  ·  mouse responded

    We are happy to announce that we have released an update that addresses some of these points.

    Channel Banned users will no longer be able to view the chat, and they will also be removed from your Chat list. There is an issue that has caused us to pause this temporarily, but we expect a fix to be out very soon – stay tuned to the Twitter thread below for the update.

    Additionally, if you Block a user, they will not be able to subscribe or follow, and Blocking them will automatically unfollow them.

    I will leave this topic open for your points about being unable to fully view the remaining content of a channel, and account creation.

    Hej there, yesterday i had a troll in my channel. Nothing special...

    Ignored him, banned him without reaction. Done
    5 Mins later hes back with a new account. 1 sentence - banned.

    I know, it is not possible to turn this off, but why does a Ban not include the ban of the Ip? Yes, the User could restart his Router/modem, get a new Ip and come back, but this would be a lot more work then just creating a new account.

    If this is possible, maybe this would be an idea to make the life of trolls harder a little bit.
