Why not delete the old accounts of your family members, that obviously don't need them anymore and just set up your own account? @Tlar21 @godthalex
I mean you guys don't have to pay per account you create. So, no worries, just create your own ones. -

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.

Though it requires some changes, from a technical point of view it shouldn't be too hard to archieve:
1. make streams non available publicly
The technic behind that already exists for sub-only streams.
2. give non-blacklisted people access to the stream
Also quite similar to the sub-only stream feature, the technic already exists. You just have to take the banned chatters list into account.Basically it's 1 more flag and some more checks for that flag plus the blacklist.
@Eewec People are able to make unban requests already.

We apply IP bans in Chat based on users’ Moderation actions in certain cases. We don’t currently plan to publicize the logic we use because we think it would make it easier for bad actors to bypass the restriction.

That's not always true. As the IPv4 pool is limited many ISPs have to rotate IP addresses of their users regularly. That's even concidered as some sort of privacy feature in some countries as a distinct user is not tracable for a longer period of time by its IP address. Blocking IPs permanently would result in banning innocent user in case their ISP assigns them an IP previously banned. That gets even worse in IPv4 tunneling scenarios (some providers only provide shared public IPv4 addresses), public wifis such as in hotels where you share your public IP address with many other users at the same time.
Banning well known proxies or vpns might be acceptable even though the described problem still applies.
Instead Twitch should implement some sort of user verification that's more reliable than Email verification - which can even be automated by bots.

Hey all,
Thank you for the patience with us on this. This has been one of the most popular ideas on UserVoice and we definitely heard your feedback.
Today we launched /announcement for mods and streamers. Announcements can be used in chat to highlight a message and are available in 4 different colors along with the channel accent color. Because this is only part of the ask of this idea we are setting this idea to partial release so the community can continue to leave feedback on this.

Streamers often pick their moderators out of the community. Moderators often are long term community members and well known to the streamer. The streamers knows on how they behave and have a certain degree of trust in them. Often streamers and their moderators have met before, for example on community meetings, TwitchCon etc. In many cases streamer and their moderators are even real-life friends.
I understand your concern that streamers in certain cases put a lot of attention on their moderators. As mentioned before that's often because of the trust and friendship between them.
Not to neglect other chatters is something the streamer should of course do, but that depends on the streamer and you cannot enforce it. If the streamer of your choice doesn't take enough notice of you, it might be that you put too much personal feelings in it. You know what I mean, don't you?
Also, at this point I want to bring out that you only mentioned subscribers. For sure subscribers support Twitch and the streamers "more" than non-subscribers. But as a subscriber you haven't payed for a special treatment nor for a special portion of the streamers attention.
Exceptions prove the rule, but that depends on the streamers.

We would definitely like to give Mods a way to communicate with each other more easily, and are starting to explore implementation options.

The actual problem is that the number of followers still has some meaning for people. Seems it's still a metrics advertisers use to negotiate contracts with streamers and even Twitch uses it for its affiliate programm. But the number doesn't say anything. There are thousands orphaned accounts that still count as followers. Even activly used accounts often follow streamers the account holder doesn't watch (anymore) or doesn't watch any often due to streaming time collisions of prefered streamers. So the number of followers is completely useless. (It's just way easier to determine compared to viewers.)
If Twitch would make that number inaccessable to anyone, no one would even care about it anymore. You follow to receive "... just went live" information, that's it. - BAM no more problem with follow bots. No need to restrict or even remove the endpoints.
If you need a number to present to an advertiser, use the viewer count with some additional statistical information like average, min, max, 95%-quantile, standard deviation, a confidence interval etc.
First of all that's a way more reliable number and second of all, that's way more honest.
