Twitch mod update introduces new ban system for improved community safety

One of the biggest issues on any online broadcasting platform is the consistent toxicity and harassment towards streamers and their communities. Whether it’s in the chat, in direct messages, or in-game, popular broadcasters have always had to rely on strong moderation tools to keep themselves safe and to maintain a positive environment when they go live.

Luckily, Twitch developers added a new moderation feature on Sept. 14 that should help keep certain individuals under wraps while you interact with your viewers and stream on a daily basis.
