Moderating your stream is an important part of keeping your and your community safe and happy! We have some general moderation settings under the moderation page that are all pretty self explanatory, but we’re going to go over some useful commands as well as some general advice to help you and your mods out with moderating your channel.
If you’re using our commands you’ll want to make sure they’re enabled under the commands page.
Commands
Warnings
You can find some more information about warnings on our warning page. Some useful commands for those are:
!warnings <username>
Fetches the number of warnings any viewer may have.
!warn <username> [silent] [reason]
Adds a warning to a viewer. Depending on how warnings are configured and the number of warnings a user has. If you add the word silent before your reason, only you and your moderators will be able to see the reason for warning.
For example, entering the following into chat:
"!warn <username> silent You were spamming"
Will sent a warning to the user, but will not show the reason for the warning publicly in chat. Removing the word "silent" from that command will send a warning, and show the reason in chat.
!unwarn <username>
Resets the number of warnings a user has to 0.
Muting
!clear <username>
Clears all the chat for a viewer that has been said recently
!mute <username> [silent] [expiry]
Mutes a viewer for a period of time. For example !mute Luke 10m would mute Luke for 10 minutes. Omitting the expiry will mute forever.
!unmute <username>
Unmutes the viewer.
Pro Tips
- Creating a timed message in the Chatbot that regularly displays the chat rules you have is a good way of avoiding problems well before they start.
