 Hey friends! Flair here with another streamer tutorial. Tonight we're going to talk about hate raid protection. I used two different methods to protect against hate raids in my channel. The first and foremost is active protection using Seribot. I'll go into that later. The second is a bunch of tools I've put together with streamer.bot which I'm going to go through tonight and they give me a panic button as well as offline hate raid protection. Seribot is a bot written by the wonderful Seri codes on Twitch. Here's the channel. It's twitch.tv slash seri underscore bot. I'll put a link in my description anyway. But this bot is awesome for hate raid protection. I've been in channels where it happened and a follow bot kind of thing started happening and after a couple seconds of the streamer like trying to turn alerts off or whatever all of a sudden Seribot kicks in and starts banning all the people coming in and it just shut it down and after that it was just nothing and the streamers they will continue. So it was really cool to see and I recommend it to everyone and really all you have to do is go into the Seribot channel and type exclamation join and as at a baseline that's all you need to do to get the protection and then oh you also have to moderate add them as a moderator in your channel. So now I'm going to show you through the actions I've set up on streamer.bot to help me moderate during a follow bot attack or a hate raid. So I have two actions called lockdown and unlock and basically what lockdown does is it turns slow mode on in your channel it turns subscriber only mode on it turns follower only chat on it clears the chat and then it also hides my any visible chat element of my overlay and then similarly I have an unlock action that undoes all of that stuff. So let's set up this lockdown action and go ahead and right click create a new action of lockdown demo and we're basically just going to use a bunch of this twitch subactions to help us out here. We're going to go slow mode and then 10 so that just makes it so that people can look chat only once every 10 seconds. We're going to go twitch subscriber only mode and then we're also going to turn follower only mode on there is an automatic mode for that so we have to send a message to the channel as the broadcaster and just enable it with the slash command that's built into twitch which is followers 30 minutes so that means people only people that have been following for 30 minutes or more can chat. Then we're also going to send another message to the channel from the broadcaster to clear the chat and then I also added a subaction with obs to set the visibility of my chat to hidden and that's it for the lockdown. So then to make the unlock action we basically want to just undo all of that so we will add an unlock demo action and then just keep going in with those twitch actions twitch subscriber only no twitch and then we also want to undo follower mode which we have to use a twitch slash command for so we go send message to channel the broadcaster account and do slash followers off and then finally I want to re-enable the visibility of my chat set source visibility state chat and that's it the lockdown and unlock actions form the core kind of protection that I've set up in streamer bot they're called in two different places and this is where we get into the nested actions the first place is that they are called from my panic and relax actions which in turn call the lockdown action and then do a couple extra things we'll get into those in a minute the other place that I've that calls the lockdown and unlock actions is a event that fires at the start and end of stream and you set that up by going to stream apps and clicking on obs tab and you can see down here I have stream started and stream stopped you can add these by clicking right clicking down here and clicking add and you can see this whole list of events that obs triggers you know transitions cameras stop recording stopped sources changed everything but then there's also there's streams stream started and stream stopped and you want to pick those so the stream started event fires my unlock action so if any of that subscriber only slow mode or whatever was on when my stream starts it turns all that stuff off and then when my stream stops it calls the lockdown method and so that at the end of my stream it automatically turns on subscriber mode follower only mode etc so that when my stream is offline I can't get a hate raid in my chat when I'm not even there to do anything about it okay so now let's quickly revisit the panic and relax actions that are set up as well um first of all the panic action what it does is it creates a stream marker in my chat um so that later I can review easily when this happened um it then sends a message to chat saying I'm initiating panic mode hang tight um and then it runs the lockdown action and then once that's all of run I also trigger a 90 second commercial in my channel so that to take advantage of all of the followers in the follow you know if you got a bunch of bot viewers might as well give them an ad anyway and then relax does the same thing it calls the unlock action and then it sends a message to twitch saying I'm exiting panic mode time to relax um so what I can do with these is uh I can uh I have them set up as buttons in my stream deck so if this I haven't forbid this ever happens to me when I'm streaming live which it hasn't yet um I can just press my panic button and uh be done with it if you don't have that kind of thing you can also set up a chat a chat command um I think I did both so that um I can also I may have taken them away actually but you can set it set it up but you set it up as a voice control command you could set it up as a chat command the benefit of setting it up as a chat command is you could also your mods could also enable it if you allow it anyway uh that's what I've done I wanted to share some of the things that I've found to help protect against hate raids and uh not just keep it to myself
