What is Moderator?
A trusted community member given permissions to manage chat, timeout or ban users, and enforce channel rules. Identified by a green sword badge.
Moderators (mods) are essential for maintaining a positive chat environment. They can delete messages, timeout disruptive users, ban rule-breakers, and manage chat settings. Most streamers have 2-5 active mods depending on their channel size.
Being a moderator in another streamer's channel is a deep form of networking — it shows commitment to their community and builds a strong collaborative relationship.
