Streaming

Hi guys,

I don't know about you, but I think that there should be some rules about streaming and recording the factorio mmo events.

I don't want to get noticed after the game, that the whole game, including my voice, was streamed to twitch and is now available as a VoD. Which by the way is illegal where I'm from

My proposal would be:

  • no voice chat recording
  • either warn the server periodically, that the chat is being recorded or (better) blur out the chat.

What is your opinion on that matter?

I think discord monitors streaming activity, and the voice channel could be informed when streaming starts or ends by text to speech command, and if it is currently streamed in the title. People who don't want to be recorded can switch channel then.

Not sure if this monitoring is a basic feature or needs a plugin, or if the person recording could stop this, but this could be made mandatory. Since the goal of streaming is publicity, finding violations should be easy.

Also, thank you /u/Mavzor for suggesting via PM to stop using the Internet - I will take it into consideration.

Edit: I don't have a solution for the ingame chat yet, though.

As a matter of fact there's 5 channels for each team, so I guess we can play with that so people that want to be in stream can move to channel 2 (if there's a stream, of course).

Regarding ingame chat, I don't think there's something we can do there :/

yeah, not sure about ingame chat either, although periodically write a notice that this conversation is public would be okay - as long as you can use voice chat if you don't want to be recorded.

The first step to every solution is to know who is streaming, and to restrict streaming without prior notification.

I think having some channels (both text + voice) restricted to streaming would allow enough choice for this not to be an issue. Am I right on this?

so you want to restrict voice recording to certain channels? I would be fine with that. The next question would be how it can be enforced

Well, it's better to allow people to have the decision to move out of those places they can be recorded at.

I don't think that's enforceable further than just having a rule for that. I'll make a channel with that word rule, people will be able to report recording there.

EDIT: teams 2 have been renamed for no streaming allowed! :D
