New moderation API endpoints are now in open beta

I’ve mentioned this a while ago on UserVoice in a different discussion, but it would be really nice if we were able to add mod comments when banning users, either by chat command, or now since there’s an actual API endpoint via an extra field in the request body.

The reason is that while a user should obviously always get some level of detail on their banishment, there is often certain information that ultimately lead to a ban that should either not be known to the user or only gives additional context to the moderators themselves.

Right now the only possible way to do so automatically, especially when banning in bulk, would be to use the GQL endpoint, but that is obviously not a real solution.

Additionally, in my opinion both the Get Blocked Terms and Add Blocked Term endpoints should include a private field if the moderator_id is equal to the broadcaster_id so we’re able see and manage private blocked terms if the broadcaster gave us access to do so.
