You could also give various trusted folks access to mod the chat. I'm not sure how that works though, so it may be too much of a pain. TL IRC would be best, since we don't have to deal with 99% of the users being anonymous.

Screw them and whatever they say. They're irrelevant.

Keep doing your thing.

I have the feeling I might have been perceived as a troll on Konadora's stream but I never did flame anyone or at least had the attention to. If I have been part of such and contributing to the hate and misappreciation of your efforts, then I'm sorry. I greatly appreciated your streams and I hope you will find the courage to go ahead and continue your streams.

I went under the name of 'Wat' in your stream.
Terribly sorry.

I guess I'm going to be stopping stream for a while.

I love to share when I can. That's why I've been doing translations and streaming games constantly. But there are times when I can't find sources to stream, hence resulting in other less-preferable streams like the Chinese-commentary hanguo stream, or times when my sources lag and I can't stream a high-quality, stable stream.

And what do I get in return?

Flaming.

Swearing at me and my family.

Telling me to fuck off.

???

I've been trying to just ignore this for the sake of the many others who really enjoy my stream, but I just don't think I can take this any more. I could have just sat back and watched Proleague on my own, but I didn't. Because I grew attached to teamliquid.

But that was then. Now, teamliquid has all these lurkers that think they're fine flaming off under the anonymity of the Internet and get away with it. People have grown to be unappreciative asses. GG.net invading my stream doesn't help either.

Reading this, most of you will probably go "Lol fuck you I'll just watch another stream then".

Whatever.

Drama much?...Internet is full of such retards, you just gotta "live"with them, or better - ignore.
What on earth stops you from that?Do you seriously care so much about few retarded kids flaming you?Seriously, even blocking the chat would be better option than stopping stream for good - just think about all these normal people counting on you and appreciating your effort everytime you bring stream to them.
I say, continue stream and grow up (internet wise)

Why does everyone take this shit so seriously? Why do you care what some random thousands of kilometres away says? Turn the chat off and don't be such a baby when someone says something bad. I honestly don't know why ANYONE EVER cares what people say when you don't even know them. Are you that sensitive that you need to be accepted by every single person you ever come into contact with?

^While yes, it's naive to not expect trolling/flaming, I don't think his reaction is that hard to understand. It's not a matter of feeling the need to be "accepted by every single person" he meets; he just felt it was disrespectful when he was offering a service to the community.

Anyway, he's said he's going to disable chat now so all is good.

Kona I really appreciate what you've done for the community. You add a ton, out of volunteer time and effort, and often go under-appreciated. So thanks.

Lol fuck you I'll just watch another stream then!

Jk Jk
I used your stream like 2 times (I have luck with streams so always watch the direct ones or daum) but the times that I use streams of you/mystlord/etc... even the ret one...
Trolls are always on the streams with chat... its just people without life. Its the better choice, maybe now you can watch the matches and enjoy more =P

Thanks for it while it lasted kona. <333

When I am available to watch games myself, I'll try to stream, but if there's an absurd amount of flaming/trolling/spamming I'll end up disabling chat and using IRC as well.

Yeah lol cause if I turn off chat people still go "FUCK YOU WHY OFF CHAT?!?!?!?!??"

And if I don't, people go "FUCK YOU WHY DON'T OFF CHAT ??!?!?!?!!?"

whatever man

You really expected to please everyone? You're likely to experience something similar in every aspect of life so it's probably a good idea to deal with it somehow - explain to people what you find wrong with what they are doing and if there is no talking sense into them ignore them.

Many other popular streams turn off chat, people just expect everything when you give it to them - they'll forget about it if you just run the stream without it, because if they really wanted to talk during the game they can spam IRC.

LMAO, this is like a situation back in freshman year.

Some black kid in my PE class would keep messing around with my friend and me in the locker room. My other friend would defend himself, causing more trouble. All I had to do was ignore him and he wouldn't bother me.

As 'faseman' said, I find it really stupid to even give a second thought to flamers on the internet. It just blows my mind why you would care what they say. It's like a random person passing you on the street saying "you're a huge douchebag". Would you be offended and QQ in a thread on TL? Of course not, because who gives a shit? If they really had something to offend you with, I'd somewhat sympathize with you but really? This thread reeks of "give me attention please". No matter how much you might think that you didn't make it for that, I'm sure you can't deny that a tiny bit of you did want it for that.
