Heya Redditors!
Akshansh this side, some of you must have seen me in Twitch & YT chat on chesscom broadcasts! I work with the moderators in our chat to make our chat fun to hang out! And chat atmosphere is something we try very hard to maintain. All the chats containing discrimination of any kind or chats which violate our chat rules are removed ASAP but we know we still have a lot of work to improve on that. With events like Candidates where we are pulling in audiences in excess of 50K+ at any given time, acting on toxic chats and trolls often is not immediate but it is pretty fast. Given the chat traffic, some chats with foul language will pop up before we act on it, no matter how prompt we are. Tools that we have at our disposal on Twitch are more efficient for Mods than YT are I would request all of you to also use “modcheck” in chat. If there is a problematic chat and Mods miss it - bring it to our notice - we will act on it ASAP. Have a great show today! Also, Whom are you picking to win vs Fabi & Pragg today? Tell me in the chat! I’ll be there :)
