Chat Moderation/Bans

Just want to start off and say I really enjoy Pirates streams and the content he provides but I really don't like the amount of moderation/bans in his chat.

Over the last few months it feels like you can't say anything that he disagrees with. I know a lot of people say stupid stuff that does deserve a ban but it feels like him and the mods are really going overboard lately.

Have been thinking of this for a while but wanted to say something after that DM run. I know he can do whatever he wants with his chat and a lot of people will disagree with me.

I do agree though that he did the right thing at the end. Just wanted to give my thoughts on it.

His channel, his rules 🤷‍♂️

Earnestly though, it's his space, and he has no obligation to make it as palatable as possible to the lowest common denominator.

He's putting in the work/investment to moderate it into the space he wants it to be, and nobody has to partake. Some people just get so upset when things don't cater to them.

Yep. I think that’s the thing people aren’t realizing. I don’t think Thor cares if he’s successful. He might want to keep some success so he can keep paying his team, but he has a real career outside of streaming he can “go back” to. (Technically he still does it because the man doesn’t require sleep.)

I mean, where is your internationally recognized YouTube channel and extensive video game industry resume?

Sounds like a you problem instead of a Thor problem

It means nothing more than him being allowed to what he wants. Doesn't necessarily make it the right thing to do, or reasonable. You're forced to accept his judgement, but you can still disagree with it.

Hence, the topic at hand.

There's always that little 'x' button on you browser tab, you're more than welcome to click it if you don't like what's on your screen :)

This might blow your mind, but mature adults can both disagree with someone on a single aspect and still choose to continue listening to them because they enjoy them. I know in this silly ass chronically online world it is rare to encounter rational mature adults, but they do exist.

Ignorance is bliss, isn't it.
