What about something more democratic? After a button is input, wait until a button has been said in chat N times (for some N>1) before pressing that button. It wouldn't solve the other problems, but it would make it so trolls wouldn't be able to disrupt gameplay as much unless they have a majority.

Oh, that's how it works right now, with a twist. There's "anarchy" and "democracy" modes. To quote the channel readme: TwitchPlaysPokemon now has two modes, anarchy and democracy. Anarchy mode is the "old" mode, where everyone's inputs are applied immediately. Democracy mode is vote-based and has a more sophisticated input system. In order to switch from one mode to the other, the mode that isn't active needs 75% of votes as indicated by the dotted line, the current percentage of votes is indicated by the black line. In democracy mode you can compile a sequence of inputs. left2 will move left twice, left2down2 will move left twice and down twice. The "dotted" and "solid" line referred to are two indicators moving in a progress bar between "democracy" and "anarchy"

That was implemented earlier today. Not quite like that but as a voting system to let the most voted command get inputted after 5-10 seconds. They can also vote to switch between modes which I think has definitely biased things to being a little less random, but it's made some users angry and had them voting "start9" to halt all progress by hitting the start button 9 times.

The streamer tried that. It would poll for a few seconds, then execute the majority command. A large number of people opposed this and began to spam start in protest, and actually killed all progress until the streamer reverted it. At the moment there's a slider that allows the chat to vote between 'democracy' and 'anarchy'.
