Whitelisting

tl;dr:
To avoid spoilers, chat is on a whitelist system. Unless you're a sub or a mod, I won't see your messages. You can still chat among each other. Non subs and mods can have their messages be seen by me by asking a mod to whitelist them. A mod can type "!add <name> voice" to do so.

Hi I am streaming a first playthrough of a game. I want to enjoy this experience and Twitch chat has a lot of people in it that I don't like and that ruin my experience.

======================unimportant bit start. Skip if lazy===========================
I have a few options:

-Don't stream it and play by myself
-Do stream it but don't read chat
-Do stream it and put chat in sub only mode to ensure only cool people chat

I am not satisfied with these options, because
-not streaming is boring for viewers
-not reading chat is boring for me (somewhat)
-sub only chat is just lame

So I created a second option. I wrote some shitty code that allows for mod hierarchy/whitelist thing in my chat blah blah blah. and then Tduva showed me I dont need code.
===========================unimportant bit end.==================================

The important bit: My chat will be available and free to chat in for everyone (unless you're banned). However, if you're not a mod (or a sub, because thank you I guess.), your messages won't show up for me.

Now don't rage just yet, because I know there's a lot of cool people out there who don't have mod rights and who don't want to/can't subscribe. I don't want to exclude you. So I gave my mods the ability to whitelist people. Woah, cool! What's even cooler: Chatty has a feature that lets me do that!

If you're a cool dude who is not going to spoil the game for me and is not going to tell me how to do certain things, you can ask a mod to give you the ability to have your messages visible to ME, the broadcaster! You can do this by simply asking :O A mod can then give you this ability (instructions below) by adding you to Chatty's address book

Rules:
-No spoilers
-No telling me what to do
-No breaking my default twitch rules (see bio).
-Please no 'this level sucks' or other kind of (anti-)hype building messages before I actually finished a level. They will give me certain expectations about missions and I hate that.

Break these rules and you will be unaddressbooked :D
This way, we can still have cool discussions. Or my chat will go to shit, whatever, I'll fix it afterwards if that happens.

Instructions for mods:
* If your name appears with a black sword on my stream (not in my chat) when you say something, that means you are a supermod & editor in my channel, and you can mod/unmod people. Not sure why I'm writing this, because it's not really relevant to the whole whitelist thing. (!mod , !unmod)
These people are: tduva, irishblondie, misterpost, banhammer_bot, dubgame, colfra, gocnak



* If your name appears with a white (default color) sword, that means you are a normal mod. Impressive isn't it?
These people are: adam_ka, alidigitali, amvx, chickenb0h, colfra, da00, datesl54, dfocus89, dispersor, dubgame, elgu_, ethanh59, fatzke, flaming_pants, gaeldemarseille, gang___, gocnak, idanzel, irishblondie, joedrinksbeer, jolzi, joshimuz, jukspa, justshanz, kyledoesit, kz_frew, lighnat0r, lotsofs, maggara1, menno888, mhmd_fvc, misterpost, oekeokikinl, powerslavealfons, rapid_influx, runnerhaworth, sgt_kabukiman, stauken, supermatmo, superuserraven, tdawg91, tduva, tduvatest, tomsk45, ultimaomega07, unrealcanine, yalter, zachsk, znernicus

Your available commands are (with exclamation marks, not slashes)
!add <name> voice
!remove <name> voice

If you see someone in chat who you know is a regular or is a cool person, you can type "!add <their name> voice" and their messages will be shown to me for infinitely many hours. Alternatively, I may tell you to do this. If someone asks you for voice but you're not sure, ask me first or wait to see if they're cool.

If they turn out to not be cool, you can do "!remove <their name> voice" to unvoice them, and/or do "/timeout <their name>" to ban them. Before you ask, no you can't unvoice other mods. sorry m8!

Of course, you are also still expected to ban stupid people, despite the fact that I wont actually see them :D



* If your name appears with no sword, that means you have been granted ability to have your messages read by me (the broadcaster).
These people are: everyone else



* If your name doesn't appear, then I can't see you and you need to ask a mod for a whitelist.

With this, I hope to achieve the following:
-I wont actually see annoying people who will be spoiling the game for me or be annoying fucks, so I can have a happy time!
-I will still be able to see messages by cool people

But I will probably achieve the following:
-My chat will go to shit
-My pc will crash
