You can just ban accounts that lurk twitch uses IRC (internet relay chat) and some info, like whether you are live, etc. The pure frustration with talking to anyone on twitch staff is real, because they just don't care. This is absolutely atrocious and just Greed talking from Twitch's end, they don't care, if they cared, something would have been done years ago, I've been around since the years back in 2010. This request wasn't just about bots too! It was to also ban unwanted viewers (stalkers, harassers, people with mal-intentions, twitch streamers have been known to be stalked and threatened, especially those in minority groups, females, and other cases, twitch doesn't do ****, the police don't do ****, how would you feel if you been swatted because someone you banned was still getting info on who you were and where you are by lingering in the channel, a ban should also be a block, and it should also remove their ability of even finding that channel for protecting creators and other viewers!) I've been in moderating positions for over 15 years in different platforms and games and communities.
They have been linked to targeted attacks by investigating easy targets to follow and spread, these are bots that in anywhere from 50+ channels (no normal person is going to sit in 50+ channels for no reason, if they can't even contribute to Twitch's views to support streamers), all the way up to almost 76k channels at a time. These are just the bots! They don't contribute to views, they tend to be malicious in hate raids, or they are collecting people's info. want to know the number? 190,058 bots are STILL active accounts on twitch.
#TWITCH BOTS UPDATE#
want an update on how well Twitch cares? I put together a list of all bot names from Oct 2021 to June 2022, after removing invalid names and safe bots (like Nightbot, etc, or at least all the safe bots I know) I barely managed to bring that list down To this day, there are still these bots active and I haven't started July's list yet. So I'm the one that posted this back in May 2017. It's about time we have some control over the unwelcome bot accounts.Ī Hard Working Broadcaster, just trying to stop the spread of unwanted guests. Reporting seems to do nothing for the past 2 months of reporting them, from MULTIPLE witnesses/reporters. We the broadcasters need an option to kick them from the page, doesn't have to be permanent, they might have an option to hop back on, but I think we should have some sort of captcha security so they can PROVE they are human, and not a bot when rejoining the page!īanning doesn't do enough if they can still read the chat and gather the info.
We've all been noticing another set of bots possibly working together, Faegwent ThisIsMyDevAccount and chatdb, they never speak, but they have hundreds if not thousands of followers, they never broadcast, etc etc, what are they doing sitting in our chat? sending info to these followers? that's against ToS. I requested and stated to them several times, their bot is not welcomed in my channel, and they refused to remove themselves until the end of my stream, waiting for me to host someone and latch on to them, thus spreading. When confronting them on the fact that their bot is breaking ToS, they reported me for reporting them. I don't know what their command is doing, and I certainly don't trust it. Recently had a run in with "Opentwitchbot" whom acknowledges that they are running a bot in other's channels, but never requested permission to do so, instead, they want us to run THEIR command in our channels to make them leave, which isn't possible on our bots, because our bots are not design for that command, nor is it a Twitch command. We ban them, not like they ever say anything, but to prevent them from spreading, we need a way to KICK THEM OFF THE CHANNEL. They sit there and do nothing, they follow us to other streams we host/raid. They may be using this info for giveaway sniping, or possible future bot attacks, including viewer bots, follower bots, and even spam bots. These accounts sit lurking in channel, possibly logging info of either streamers or chatters. We are now dealing with a new threat of bot accounts.
