8 years ago I think AS should include the following points:
- has the user joined the channel currently? - is he active at all
- (optional?) is the user following / subscribed
- (optional?) account-age - give a minimum threshold in days from which on a user is considered genuine
- does the user chat actively?
- if he chats, what does he do?
- only use commands (songrequest, etc.)
- spam (chat near or above the limited amount of messages / interval)
- often being censored by mods
- only use emojis to express themselves (kappa)
- ...
Based on this i would suggest creating a self-contained module that hooks into the chat-messages and records all positive and negative actions a user can do, calculate and then update the score periodically per user. We could then offer the calculated score per user directly from memory to all other parts of the program (UserScoreManager.GetScore("someUserName")).
Altough we would need to save some statistics per user, I would refrain from saving too much per user, instead only focus on the near past (7 days or something like that).
Additionally we could award users with small things like:
- regular viewer (views more than 60% of streams)
- active chatter (~ at least one message per two minutes)
- command user
- rarely spams
- no slurs / racism, generally not censored by mods
- no constant abuse of commands
- ...
On the same note, we could tag users with negative awards. They would act much the same way as regular awards, but result in a negative score.
In the end, i would propose calculating the score based on the points mentioned above.
Each positive / negative action resulting in a integer number - the score.
Examples:
This would be a normal user, someone who regulary views streams and occasionally issues commands.
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Regular viewer | + 10p |
| Command User | + 5p |
| -------------------- | + 15p |
This would be a regular viewer who simply spams the chat with emojis.
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Regular viewer | + 10p |
| Command User | + 5p |
| Active Chatter | + 5p |
| Abuse of Emojis (spam) | - 10p |
| ------------------------------ | + 10p |
This way, we can set a threshold under which we deny some commands or features, or exclude certain behaviours that we do not endorse (spam, slurs, racism, etc.)
Of course the points would need to be balanced a lot more, but this is enough to demonstrate my idea.

A system which calculates (in some way) a score for each user wether he's active or not. Broadcasters should make commands which only can executed by active users.
When a user is active and when not could be discussed here.
