banned users:  
We currently need to check for banned users on the backend server, why not have something like:  
window.Twitch.ext.actions.isBanned(userId)

Tokens:  
Why do we need to get a token for each app? Why not request it on installing the extension and then send it on join in the config?

@CVS-Gaming Thanks for the idea, and thanks Barry for linking to the UserVoice. We are actively investigating ways we can make developing for this requirement easier.
