Individuals who are determined to be spamming will be served a timeout, and if they continue after multiple timeouts, they will be banned.īackseat gaming is the act of trying to tell another individual (the people on stream in this case) how they should be playing the game. Self promotion in and of itself is permitted, but repeatedly blasting it out can constitute spamming, so bear that in mind. Spamming can take multiple forms, including, but not limited to, asking the same question repeatedly, large numbers of emoticons, links, etc. While it may get attention drawn to you, it usually isn't the kind of attention that you were really looking for. Spamming is nothing short of annoying to other viewers. Asking for shoutouts will not get you anything but the ire of your fellow viewers, and repeated requests will be considered spamming and will be dealt with accordingly. Instead, I greet people as I see them entering the chat and bid them farewell when they say goodbye. Shoutouts serve no purpose beyond having your name stated. You might just discover a new way of looking at something! If someone says something that you disagree with, then take the opportunity to have a discussion with them about why you disagree and find out why they think the way they do. So for all parties involved, let's leave these topics to more appropriate forums and just focus on enjoying the stream.Įveryone has an opinion on just about everything, and it's not always going to line up with yours. They tend to evoke very emotional feelings in people when their opinions on these things get challenged, and it's rare that anyone is willing to budge on their thoughts when it comes to these topics. These topics are taboo in most social situations for a reason. Politics and religion discussions are offlimits.

Disrespect to anyone else in the chat will not be tolerated and there will be repercussions for such actions. Each and every one of them has been hand chosen by me, and their decisions and actions on issues are final. Moderators are here purely on a volunteer basis, and they have feelings just like you and I. This goes for not just for the individuals on the screen, but for the chat moderators and other viewers as well.
