Twitch chat and moderation

Quick note — twitch never publishes a master list of banned words. The platform combines a private slur filter (built into AutoMod and not user-editable), four configurable filter categories you tune yourself. A Blocked Terms list every channel maintains by hand. Quick note — knowing where each layer lives is the difference between a clean chat and a 24-hour suspension. And the moderation tools that shipped between 2021 and 2025 — this 2026 guide walks through every layer, the rules Twitch enforces site-wide.
