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 /.
User Actions
Command | Description |
/vip username | Grants VIP badge |
/unvip username | Removes VIP badge |
/mod username | Grants MOD powers |
/unmod username | Removes MOD powers |
/og username | Grants OG badge |
/uog username | Removes OG badge |
/ban username | Bans the user from chat |
/unban username | Unbans the user |
Listing Roles
Command | Description |
/vips | Shows all VIP users in your channel |
/ogs | Shows all OG users |
/mods | Shows all MODs |
All commands execute instantly and update in real-time.
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.
