Most efficient solution: Streaming without chat Most social solution: Having a text on screen that says to not talk about things that aren't related with the run, else permaban. (But it's unlikely, because most people prefer talking about various stuff) Most common solution: Just banning people that are ruining the Twitch Experience TM Most hipster solution: Streaming on hitbox.tv
I don't think moderating chat during a run is efficient, it's very unlikely that you won't "tilt" as you said earlier.
Finding someone to help you moderate your chat would help. Without that one person there to help, it can be very frustrating. I have dealt with a little harassment myself when I've streamed.
Backseating and lecturing can be an issue by you can always handle it by giving a warning and timing them out if they continue.
Having other people from the same game's speed running community in your stream is the ideal scenario of course.
I'll never understand why people delete their OP for a thread, it essentially makes the entire thread pointless/useless since nobody knows what was originally asked or being discussed. Don't create the thread in the first place if you're just gonna delete the OP a couple hours later.
the title should still be a good TL;DR in this case, right? Sorry for deleting it I guess, but it's not like I literally ended the OP saying that I probably will delete it.
well your problem was specifically about someone trying to dox you iirc. which i believe requires proper no-nonsense moderation. i would say to ban anyone who harrasses you for now, and once you get a couple regulars that are mature that you trust. Ask one of them to help you moderate.
No it wasn't specifically about that and thx for repeating it........ /sarcasm My problem was about the fact that I can't deal with any of chat's nonsense and me not having people who can mod my chat every stream. I sometimes (like tonight probably) stream after 3am, where everyone is either sleeping, tired or already busy with a better stream. I do ban people who don't follow my rules (which strictly forbid all examples given + another 3 that I didn't bother mentioning), but it still ruins my mood and makes me stop stream after I kill of the run by playing like complete shit.
you join a dead thread repeating something that makes as little sense as "stream on hitbox.tv". There is no site called that. No, you did not need to. But thx for showing me that this forum is no better than twitch chat.
Honest question, if chat bothers you that much (and it seems to consistently be that bad), why don't you just close chat? Or have you looked into using auto-mod more thoroughly to stop certain messages from going through? I don't know what kind of bad chat you have, but even updating your banned word list to auto censor certain words might help. Heck, even a bot like Moobot or Nightbot to auto ban phrases can work too.
This is why I made the comment about the OP being deleted - "chat nonsense" is a very, very broad topic that can mean a variety of things related to trolling, spamming, etc. Depending on what your specific issue is (which maybe the OP specified), there are a bunch of different and more specific suggestions on how to fix it. Even something like temporary mods, people who are currently watching your stream who are trustworthy enough to clean up chat on the fly for a stream or two (then they get unmodded) might help. Worst comes to worst, if your chat is that bad that it's messing you up, just close it until the run finishes so that you're not distracted by it. I know a lot of people that do that to help them focus and to ignore any of the shit that might happen.
Unfortunately the best answer and solution is to find people who watch you consistently at varying hours and mod them (which seems to be a sticking point for you). I only have a few mods myself, but I have a couple that are based in the same country as me and a couple that are based on the other side of the world. This way I know that no matter what time I'm streaming at, I'll have a good chance of a mod stopping by. Finding viewers, let alone ones that stick around and are trustworthy enough to moderate can be tough, but it's also the best solution for this problem.
