Chat
Ban
Permanently blocking someone from chatting in a channel. Reserved for serious or repeat rule-breaking; timeouts handle the small stuff.

- Timeout
A temporary mute a moderator gives a chatter (seconds to hours) for breaking rules. Softer than a ban — the person can come back.
- Mods / Moderators
Trusted viewers who help keep chat safe by removing spam, timing out rule-breakers, and answering questions.
- Spam
Flooding chat with repeated messages or emotes. Sometimes hype (emote walls during big moments), sometimes disruptive — mods and chat modes keep it in check.
