    Hi, I know that this is a very late response, but we’re hoping to find time to address this issue later this year. There are a few steps we’ll have to take to solve this problem in a way that will work for all streamers, but we understand the severity of the issue.

    Since twitch chat is actually a strange form of an IRC chat, you might guess that it should be able to connect to a chat via standard IRC clients. This is actually possible and documented. The documentation actually does not include any KICK command, which should be an essential tool to remove bad people from your stream. You should be able to remove unwanted bots and also unwanted people like stream snipers. When using the BAN function in twitch, it actúally does nothing more than MUTE. Actually no user was ever banned on twitch, because banning someone means to remove him from your property.
