EzraEtc Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I want to illustrate to you why I loathe going to your Twitch events. This is what the chat looks like. At all times. Somebody starts a stupid rumor that if you spam !whateveritisthisweek into the chat, you'll get the thing, and the chat explodes into nothing but people spamming it over and over again. All. The. Time. These screenshots of the chat section I took? These aren't even from during the stream. They're from almost 20 minutes after the stream ended. As I type this, it's going on a half hour since the stream ended, and the "!necrosprime" spam still shows no sign of stopping. It's not even spelled right! Isn't it about time to do something about this? I don't mean just putting the chat in slow mode, either. All that's managed to do is give me an accurate timer of how long it's been since my message as the stream was ending to be able to see how long this idiocy will keep going. Isn't it about time to start taking an active role in stopping this? Put a big bold message on the screen that says that people don't need to put anything in the chat. Say it out loud every few minutes. Start banning/muting people who spam this stuff, with the message "Spamming doesn't work. Knock it off." or something like that. It wouldn't take more than a glance at the chat to tell an auto-mod what it needs to filter. Hell, create a rule that people who spam the chat with this stuff are disqualified from getting their drops. Just do something, instead of leaving the chat to be complete garbage where any and all messages are instantly buried under a mountain of spam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xantheis Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 best way to deal with the stupidity of the entry code of the moment spam is to use a 3rd party plugin to remove them. there are a few chat filters available that allow you to add block words and filter out the spam. its helpful for sure. not sure moderators would help as their message would be lost as soon as it is added with all the spam.

That's literally the point of my post. This always happens, and it would take hardly any effort to do something about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRoseAngel Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 That's funny, that you'd think they'd invest money in making the chat less of a mess. They don't even do that in game, they have a bot do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bot could handle this kind of spam better than a human, and would take hardly any effort to set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This always happens, and it would take hardly any effort to do something about it. The first thing to realise about these events is that there are (there were this time anyway) around 20,000 active people on Twitch watching it, the chat was already in slow mode, so the spam you saw was not the same people over and over again, it was different people every single instance. No moderation in the world is stupid enough to ban people from a live event like Tennocon for 1 offence, ever. And when it was already five minutes between your posts, even a chat suspension doesn’t matter. The second thing to remember about these events is that DE genuinely don’t care about repeat code spamming, it doesn’t hurt them, or you, (because chat is moving too fast to hold a conversation, so you aren’t missing out) and shows that al l their viewers are active, not AFK. And so the only thing that you can do, if you want to actually read the chat on one of these is use a bit of filtering software and update it with key phrases as and when you see them. Although, again, if chat is in slow mode, and there are 20k people talking at once, then you’re still going to have a bad time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably could squelch !whatever's since it's pointless... but this only really happens when there is a twitch drop involved, so not "always". Besides, as someone else said, Twitch chat was in slow mode which means about 1 message every 10 minutes. That's already a form of moderation.
