To assist in identifying and dealing with possible ban evaders, Twitch has launched the machine learning-based Ban Evasion Detection tool last year. With Shared Ban Info, twitch is working on to identifying another category of potentially dangerous users. To work together to keep serial harassers out of the community, Shared Ban Info expands on the Suspicious User Controls system by giving them an easy method to exchange information about someone who has banned the channel with other broadcasters.

Several groups have already banded together to exchange details regarding people they have banned. This tool will make such efforts more efficient. In addition to assisting in protecting broadcasters and moderators, this function also helps to deter harassers from attempting to harass other channels.

Shared Ban Information

Twitch will select either monitoring or restriction as the default action for how flagged people are handled in the channel. Users who are being watched can continue to communicate, but their messages will be noted for twitch and their moderators so twitch can keep an eye on them and ban them if necessary. Chat messages from restricted users will be kept so that only twitch and their moderators may access them. Users who have been marked will automatically be restricted unless twitch change their preferences.
