    Relevant Update  ·  Adminreginerd (Social Support PM, Twitch) responded

    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.

    This is a good idea but maybe it shouldn't be the same as banning. Maybe a "block all contact/communication" feature that could do all this. Banning from a chat is a lot different than blocking someone from everything. Accidental bans happen and making banning do all this effect too many innocent ppl in the end.
