Blaze gives streamers and their mods a fast, powerful chat system with real-time tools, backslash commands, and moderation badges.
This guide explains everything you need to know to keep your chat safe, fun, and in control.

1. Understanding Chat Roles

Each user in chat can have one or more special roles:
  • MOD – Full moderation powers
  • OG – Early supporter; does not include moderation
  • VIP – Special badge; no moderation tools
  • Streamer – Automatically has full control over their channel
Only streamers and MODs can moderate chat.

2. Backslash Commands

You can moderate instantly by typing commands directly into the chat box.
All commands start with /.

3. Using the Streamer Dashboard

Your Creator Dashboard includes a Chat section with:
  • Ban/Unban buttons
  • Timeout options (if enabled later)
  • Viewer list
  • Real-time color updates and role badges
  • Activity feed (subs, gifted subs, donations)
This dashboard is ideal for streamers who want to moderate without typing commands.

4. Best Practices for Moderation

Keep Your Community Clean

  • Remove spam early
  • Ban bot/scam accounts immediately
  • Promote active helpers to MOD or VIP roles

Use Roles Wisely

  • MOD: Give only to people you fully trust
  • VIP: Reward loyal viewers or top supporters
  • OG: Community legacy role

Encourage Reactions

Engagement boosts visibility on Blaze; safe, active chats help your channel grow.

5. How to Remove Problematic Messages Automatically

Blaze will automatically sanitize:
  • Unsafe URLs
  • Invalid TLDs
  • Spam formats
  • Phishing-style links
Allowed URLs are auto-formatted into clickable links; non-allowed ones become [link removed].

If you want to disable links, you can do it from your Stream Settings in the Streamer Dashboard.
