New moderation duration controls

Room operators now have more control over how long users remain banned or silenced. Updated chat settings allow separate default durations to be selected for bans and silences.

The available duration options are:

• 1 hour
• 6 hours
• 24 hours
• 1 week
• 1 month
• Permanent

Once selected, the default duration applies whenever the room operator bans or silences a user. This removes the need to choose a length during a stream or adjust the action later.

Reporting and moderation in one step

The update also adds two options to the message reporting process: “Report and silence” and “Report and ban.” These buttons let a room operator report a message and take a moderation action in one step.

The ban or silence uses the default duration previously selected in chat settings. When a room operator clicks a username in chat, the ban option also displays the chosen default length.

How to change the defaults

To set the durations, open chat settings and scroll to “View/Edit Bans and Silences.” The default ban and silence length dropdown menus are located in that section.

A preferred duration can be selected separately for each action. Changes take effect immediately.

Reason for the update

The settings were changed in response to user feedback. In particular, users reported that a one-month ban was not appropriate in every situation and also shared suggestions about the reporting process.

The revised controls give room operators more flexibility to match bans and silences to their own moderation rules while reducing the number of steps required to report and restrict a user.

Bonus gift requirements

Performers can also qualify for one bonus gift by streaming at least 25 hours during the event.

A performer who streams 25 hours and earns at least $250 will receive a $25 bonus. Reaching at least $500 with 25 hours of streaming earns a $50 bonus. Reaching at least $1,000 with 25 streaming hours earns a $100 bonus.

All performers are eligible for these bonuses, including those who finish in the top 500.

Eligible earnings and verification

Rankings are determined by the amount members spend on a performer during the contest. Media sales, subscription charges, and Cammodel earnings are excluded and do not count toward ranking totals.

Streamate will verify rankings after the event. Performers with fraudulent earnings will be disqualified and may have their accounts suspended or closed.

Rewards will be added to performer earnings within one week after the contest ends. They will then be paid according to each performer’s regular payment schedule. Additional rules are available in Streamate’s Contest and Bonus Events and Contest Leaderboard help pages.

Mobile streaming event reminder

A separate mobile streaming event covers earnings from Oct. 4 through Oct. 10 GMT. Streaming from a phone and sharing feedback during that event will unlock a 25% bonus on earnings from that period.
