so wait, you mean writing 'kappa' gets you banned? :S I'm not familiar with twitch chat but I don't recall seeing it written in the LR threads I've been in.


ya i have no idea what everyone's complaining about. so is the rule that we can not type 'kappa' or other twitch emote in our forum messages? i mean its a word, and not an image that pops up?


It's an image of a guy's face. A staff member of twitch who goes by the name "kappa" from what I gather.

Good call, TL. You can always be trusted to make the right decisions - sooner or later, if not promptly.

Haha, don't worry that will never happen, TL would just cease to exist without the Tyrant symbol.

Holy shit, what have you done? You sick bastard, we will find you and make you watch Jaedong montages until you dress like a rainbow sheep!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

So, could we have the list of "banned twitch emotes" or something like that.

Although I'm quite an active LR thread visitor, I didn't see much of twitch.tv emotes(or much stuff that can be linked to them).

I don't see how this is altogether that different from everyone picking an emote to use or spamming the kimtaekyong :O face but whatever.

I fear the day that is overused on TL and we're forced to ban it.

So... just so I understand....

Is the posting of the actual "Kappa" image banned, or can we not say "kappa" at all?
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

E: I haven't been very active on TL in several months so I'm not sure what's been going on lately t.t

If you're saying Kappa, PogChamp etc. in a context which we deem to be twitch speak, it will be considered an actionable offense.

What if some of the TL statisticians start using the Kappa Correlation?

We're not going to ban mindlessly. If you are using kappa in its proper, non-meme sense you're fine. If it is used as a twitch emoticon... watch out.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm afraid I've been guilty of using them Twitch memes on TL forums. Now that I think of it, it is sort of dumb to post something that half of the people on the forums probably don't understand and doesn't even produce any kind of image.

TL moderation certainly showing the fact it is widely mocked outside of the site for "over the top strictness" to be a complete lie with this solid move.

Perhaps I'm oblivious to this epidemic but I can't help but feel this is a strange overreaction.
