Views: What is going on with Twitch? Don't run a live stream if you can't take criticism.

If you are going to stream content and have a public channel you can't be overly sensitive to comments. When I say that

The mods on twitch aren’t getting paid? I assumed they had to, they’re always online when the streamer goes live and for full stream.

No they dont get paid. And yes they are always online for their streamers. 1+1=2, you decide what 2 is in this case.


where is Lex Veldhuis? no stream, no YT videos for a long while


You're gonna love the new policy on to that poker site Doug P promotes reveal hole cards without any poker-related action, like calling on the river, requiring a showdown


Do not visit Triton poker on twitch. Terrible mods there and I have reported that channel. Do not support that channel.


Once again I got banned from another stream from a salty dog mod over a joke. I am getting angry over this, cowards doing coward things. This is not ok and makes me angry. You guys on this forum have no class or integrity so you don't care and that is all good. If it were in person I would yell and scream at someone don't play with me.

The stream doesn’t exist solely for your amusement, you don’t have an infallible right to say whatever you want wherever you want. Either behave in a way that the mods tolerate, or find a stream where they do—easy game.

Why are you trying to make me sound entitled? I am being discriminated against because I have Aspergers. The mods on Twitich are trigger happy basement dwellers on a ego/power trip. When people on Twitch want to tease me or say bad things to me I have the right to be angry. Why don't you understand this? Explain your reasoning for allowing abuse.

At least no one can claim you have no sense of humor.

I have a lot of things I need to work on. I drink too much and have anger problems. Hopefully I can do better and not be this way anymore. I need to do better and be a better person. My anger will be my downfall if I don't figure it out. I try and tell the truth on the forums and express myself. I become angry and hostile when someone disagrees which shows my lack of character. I need to do better and that is why I am going to talk to my Pastor so I can become a better person. I am a parasite who deserves death based on how I am behaving.

Indeed. One cannot help but think that trying to do this is completely unnecessary.

What is so funny about my thread? My 6ft 4inch and a half 280 pound brother almost killed me a couple of days ago I am not in the mood whatsoever for any kind of laughter, banter or bs. I am telling you right now that i am very angry. My brother scared me a couple of days ago and got violent in the car with me and almost caused in accident. I am tired of being bullied and i

are you batshit insane??

You start a thread about people being too sensitive to criticism on Twitch and then you go off on someone saying "lol" to you with a rant about being bullied??

It's time for you to quit 2+2, I think. It's not good for you.


How old are you Kevmode, 8? Grow up.


The other day I watched some guy punt off his stack on the bubble in a spot he didn't need to. I simply wrote "ICM suicide" and got an insta-ban and can't even view the channel.

No wonder everyone in the chat is saying how good he plays because anything vaguely critical gets a ban. Oh well....that's a good way to lose your viewing audience.

The EPT streams with Hartigan and Stapleton are the same. You say anything at all negative about someone's play and you get insta banned. Like "really bad jam by X, lucky" or similar is enough to get banned. If you are lucky you will also get one of Hartigan's condescending "i see we have a lot of chat pros here today who think they are better than the players who can afford 10.000 to play poker!" The guy is still awful at poker after 20 years of being in the poker space and cant comprehend that casual people watching the stream might be better at poker than live donks just because he himself cant recognize bad poker. Why even have a chat if the only thing you are allowed is to glaze the players regardless of what they do?


Kevmode is not wrong that some streamers/mods are thin skinned, but at the end of the day, no one has a "right to be heard" in someone else's Twitch channel.

I think this sums up this conversation very well.

There is nothing more pathetic in this world than a twitch or reddit mod. If you volunteer to take on that role it shows that you really are bottom of the barrel as a person.Back in the day I watched Lex Veldhuis' stream sporadically - he was pretty much the only big streamer back then. I never commented or participated in chat. But it was pretty incredible that no matter when

there might be one layer below those bottom of the barrel persons and that could be the guys posting on forums about some twitch mods behaviour years later and getting upset while doing it

This is a chat forum and the topic of conversation is annoyance with twitch. I chimed in with relevant comments to the topic. I dont think you understand what a forum is about.


this thread is hilarious


you can say whatever you want in the pokersesh chat on WPT twitch and you tube channels. live unscreened calls every wednesday at 6pm pst.


Lex Veldhouse made fun of me and mock me on his stream and now I can't chat there. This is unacceptable. I have ASpergers and he made fun of me and said bad things about me. Lex is a horrible person.

Oh no someone on the internet said something mean to you! Gotta toughen up my man - why would you care what another human says to you?

I am tired of being treated like a failed science experiment. You been busting my balls for years over and over. Lex made me feel small and that is what happened. You are victim blaming me I won't fall for your manipulation. This is a public forum I can express myself. I cant function in society I am treated like Frankenstein. I don't have social skills.


If you are going to start vanity threads in NVG, you can't be overly sensitive to comments.
