    Since it doesn't look like you can reply to comments, to @Zombaekillz and anyone else not sure what the suggestion is, here's how things work now. If you're looking at the chat with a screen reader on the web or have it reading automatically, every badge of the user gets announced before their name and message. Ideally, what people would like to hear is something like, "Pitermach: Hi there!", instead of "12 month subscriber badge moderator badge pitermach: Hi there!".

    I definitely agree, especially when it comes to the mod and sub badges, which coincidentally are already filtered out on the iOS app. I'd like to have a filter for badges and emotes to be separate options though as I can think of times I'd like to hear when people are sending them in less active streams.
