Stream filters?
8 years ago

Not sure if this would go to the "Streaming" tab but I highly doubt it.

Would it be a good idea to add stream filters like how Speedrunslive has [nosrl] or a thing where you can view streams that are listed based on the games you've submitted? The second suggestion would be quite neat to be honest.

E: This is just something to consider, some people might be using speedrun.com as a way to just advertise their channel even when they don't speedrun nor have any relevance to speedrunning. Again, just something to think about.

The [nosrl] thingtag should also work on the streams page. other stuff gotta ask someone that has the power over the code.

Yep, [nosrl] is already filtered. Once the update that adds following games is out, streams in games you're following will be shown at the top of the page.

I kinda agree with an optional filter to only see stream from runners that have a submitted time for the game they are currently streaming

What's the point of being banned if you're still getting a chance of advertise your channel?

Well if they only showed up for when they already had a run, that would kinda feel bad to them if others that do stream that game wanted to pop in watch and then offer some help or advice... they would not see them on the listings. I feel that it should be an opt in/out and for further control it should be watched for much like SRL for people that are not actively doing something speed running related. If they are running / routing they should so up regardless if they already run the game or not. If they are not doing something run related, and they do not have the [noSRL] filter or w/e on they should be warned and removed from the streams listing for a increasing duration from # of offenses that were issued.

This is just my outlook on this, but as I currently see it there is already some of a filter going on, but if people do not use the filter tags that is their choice and hence if they are found abusing this should be dealt with accordingly.

I frequently play allot of random stuff just cause i want to, but I do run games a fair portion of the time. I use the SRL tags as do many of the people I know when we play non-run related games or stuff.
