Is that real ? Censorship ? Good idea genius, trying to sweep it quietly under the rug.

This is getting worse. Streisand effect for sure lol

Yeah, this dude went pretty HAM in one of the streams, and if any mod deserved to be shat at, he sort of deserved it. Someone raided a streamer with the whole "REMOVE HORROR" shit, and that admin stealthed in and put the room in subscriber mode (the streamer had no Partnership). This led to the streamer getting pissed and getting into a verbal fight with the admin for implying the streamer was encouraging this. The streamer made a user mod to allow users to post again, and I think that admin permbanned the appointed mod.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Manchildren.
inb4 every major gaming site picks up on this story and the censorship backfires
that was skeletonbills stream, and he shut chris92 completely up
also didn't get banned
I think part of the issue is that people who runs streams are too closely tied to Twitch -- they're not branding themselves independent of Twitch as well as they could. I remember when Sp00ky moved from Twitch to Own3d for a bit -- the stream was much higher quality (this is back when Twitch performed like shit on the east coast) and the chat was MUCH less stupid, but he lost about half of his viewership and there were constant complains over the lack of emotes. There were even people who thought he stopped streaming, being completely unaware that he just moved to a different platform. Discoverablity on Twitch is a lot better than UStream's and Youtube Live, as well.Good thing hitbox.tv and ustream exist.
Oh wait, no one will leave twitch.
Didn't the mod he appointed get banned though?
Manchildren.

Speaking as someone that just started watching twitch streams a week ago: this is the kind of behaviour that pushes people like me away. Crazy admins? I thought this was a legitimate website, not some kids chatroom.
Nice to see that some of the world's most premier websites are still run by children. Lessons learned from the Lowtax School of Customer Relations, I suppose
Twitch could not possibly be coming off as any more amateurish than they are now. This is is bad PR DEFCON 1. Unfathomable idiocy.
ew, that site?
The issue with the emotes goes a bit beyond a manchild fight. For Twitch partners, the two primary ways to earn income is through broadcasting ads (which have horrible fillrates and buyrates, but that's another matter entirely) and through subscriptions, which are a passive monthly fee for the broadcaster. One of the biggest benefits that a streamer can offer is custom emotes, as they can be a far stronger incentive for people to subscribe than most people realize. However (as it's been illustrated by other people here), actually getting the emotes approved for your channel is a pain in the ass. So having an admin's boyfriend jump in front of everyone else because they're dating is, if nothing else, going to piss a bunch of people off who have some real money riding on those silly emotes.
