We do keep a chat with daily information and an internal weekly changelog, but there’s no guarantee everyone will read through everything (or properly understand it) before going active for the day. We’re not the sort of team that’s going to organize daily morning syncs/briefings or rolecall.
 
If someone feels we were attempting to “dupe” them due to this, I can assure you it wasn’t our intention; the effect of the system is really visible so there’d never have been a point in hand-waving it away.

You can report yourself if you wish a reevaluation.
 
And I claimed no such thing; the moderator above is not in the development or admin team and was not aware this feature existed or was going to be applied over simply handing out bans. Our active team is small and operates in various timezones, so communication is less than perfect.

We have identified a number of users who have been mass-downvoting content instead of filtering it, in violation of site Rules #4 and #6. Filters should always be used in lieu of mass-downvoting a subject matter, as is stated in the site’s rules.
 
Instead of banning and wiping downvotes per our standard procedures, we opted to temporarily filter a few specific tags for these users to avoid simply mass-banning rule breakers.

We don’t delete accounts, just deactivate them and make them inaccessible. In your case I recommend you rename your account, or if that’s not available to you, report your account and ask that a moderator do it for you.

Moved to right forum. It’s likely your mail service is filtering our mail server, and there’s nothing we can do about that, so you may just want to use a different address.
 
Otherwise I suggest you make a post in the Bugs thread or send an email to the ops address.

You realize DC and Marvel have always put RL issues in their comics, right? From WW2 to the mafia to drugs to racism to domestic abuse to recycling… Anybody that calls themselves a fan and thinks it’s a way to escape RL hasn’t been paying attention to what they’ve been reading/watching.

They aren’t paid or work for Twitch.
 
They’re pretty much like EVE Online’s Council of Stellar Management, an assortment of users of different kinds that broadly represent all users and can “talk” to the company in a more direct way to communicate user gripes and concerns, and “talk” back to users without the corporate speak based on what they get in return.
 
The main difference is probably that the CSM members are elected by the users, and these guys… I don’t know what process they used to select them, but it doesn’t seem like it was a good one, unless their goal was really to make sure the “shitty hot takes” userbase was represented.

The +/-/S/H is fairly important for those that make extensive use of filtering and watching, and it’s a nice separator.
 
The only change I’d think should be considered from current would be dimming the colour on the numbers.

Bug / implementation oversight. It’s very common for features that involve text input to reuse systems, so a game that lets you rename a helmet or house in a game is probably reusing much of the same code that also handles chatting with other players. And that leads to things like word filters being applied to renaming items only the player sees. Not much different for a system meant to listen to voice to interpret commands; just use existing voicechat features and build on that.
 
Many of the things that go wrong in games that people attribute to malice or sinister intent are just the result of laziness or being completely oblivious to some issue that other people care a lot about.

That’s owned my Microsoft, and they wanted to ban people from games using the Kinect by listening if they say “bad words”
 
That was a bug on the game developer’s side that passed player voice through Live as if it were an online match.
 
It was also 8? years ago; MS has changed radically since then, they’ve even become the single largest contributor to open source projects.
 
Regardless, Mixer is unlikely to overtake Twitch anytime soon barring a total collapse of Twitch and Google dropping the ball in directing people to Youtube Streaming. Mixer is very focused on integration with games and user interaction in chat (ala viewers can play minigames in chat, or even have chat affect what happens in games). AFAIK they have very little in the way of free-form podcast style streams that dominate Twitch.

Yes, that’s the point, in that quote he was talking about TLOU1.
 
 
@Penguin Dragneel  
Can you stop intentionally misinterpreting reality just so it validates your anger? I’m not going to ignore or lie about things just because they don’t track with one view or another.

Because I guess people read whatever they want to read,

“recalled thinking at the time” refers to “Six years ago”, not his thoughts on TLAU2.

You know what’s funny? People that talk shit about other people where they think they can’t see them or nobody can figure out who they’re talking about for sure. It’s a sign of good character for sure.

@Background Pony #E4F2  
There was an issue where henchmen had implications from two of the henches, but was aliased to henchpony, which itself had an implication set by rogue (character).
 
I removed the alias, retargeted rogue (character) to imply henchmen, and aliased henchpony to henchmen
