    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.

    I should have also added that such an option would allow streamers to ban by IP without allowing the streamer to actually obtain the IP.

    There has been a large increase in bot accounts as of late. We have a ban option and a timeout option as streamers and moderators. It would be nice if there was also a /banip (username) to ban from a specific streamer's chat all users from the same IP address to combat botting within a specific streamer's chat. Users from that IP would still be able to go to other streamers, but would keep them from overwhelming the streamer who they are botting against.
