Chat moderation commands

Channel broadcasters and moderators are equipped with a number of special chat commands that allow them to take proper care of the community gathering around their content.

= Moderation =


 * /timeout username: Temporarily ban the user. This will be followed by a message informing both yourself and the user the length of the ban
 * /ban username: Permanently ban the user from the chat room
 * /unban username: Reverse a previously instated ban
 * /modcaps: Automatically give time-outs to viewers who send chat messages in all caps.
 * /slow xx: Set a limit on how often a viewer is allowed to send chat messages, where "xx" is the number of seconds (for example, "/slow 60" would make it so viewers could only send one chat message every 60 seconds)
 * /slowoff: Disable the rate limit on chat messages
 * /subscribers: Turn on subscribers-only mode, which only allows those who are currently subscribed to your channel to chat (Subscriptions are a premium feature for select partners that require a paid purchase for the viewer to take part in)
 * /clear: Clear the current chat history from the page
 * /mod username: Promote a viewer to moderator status, allowing them limited control over the current chat. This enables them to utilize the ban, unban, timeout, followers, followersoff, subscribers, subscribersoff, clear, modcaps and modcaps off commands.
 * /unmod username: Demote an existing mod back to viewer status.

= Channel Utility =


 * /commercial: A partner-only command to run a commercial for all of your viewers
 * /mods: Receive a list of all moderators currently visiting your chat channel
