Kappa is one of those emotes which make me feel miserable.. Like, it's not funny cool or edgy, it's just used by a bunch of wannabe trolls who want to feel a part of the group. Annoying as balls.

Hashtags next please.



This too please. More ignorant trendy meme shit. I didn't even know what a hashtag was until I asked my 22 year old girlfriend (I'm a social media luddite. I despise it). I guess it makes sense on twitter, but outside of that, you make yourself look like a moron. Also, I'm still not clear on what kappa is. Do you type the word? Or does it make one of those faces on twitch (I block the chat)?

Being mocked on twitch chat should be seen as a badge of honor.

I dont think TL minds being mocked by the kind of bottom-feeders that spam kappa in twitch chat and think its hilarious.

Why are Japanese emoticons, which are rarely even spammed in Twitch chat and have origins completely unrelated to Twitch, banned as well?

I think they're trying to deal with a minor issue before it becomes a larger one.

They were spammed in twitch chat a lot (the shrugging tsu-face especially) before people figured out all the key words for emotes.

They also provide very little contribution to any sort of constructive discussion. TL is not the type of site that wants to put up with entirely useless posting, when it can be avoided with a simple rule.

That's true, is that allowed on TL? If it is, could it be looked into to getting added as an official emote, like going :cookie: or something?

I totally agree, but this emote spam has become so stupid, I wouldn't even call them trolls anymore.
For me a troll can do intelligent things trick people and be funny in an intelligent way.
This is just outright stupid mass spam without any sense and I hope twitch will combat this by giving the chat admins more intelligent options then to just put the whole chat in subscriber only mode or whatever, I would prefer to call them zombies instead of trolls

If twitch wants to make Money, turbo which helps you to disable adds is a bad idea- I am all for shotgun to combat zombies where the spam of people that just use silly emotes e-dicks and whatever childish nonsense just get eliminated and invisible and they can spam themselves with their stupid *****.

It sets a bad example when your "ten commandments" completely contradicts itself, the rules of the forums are no place for sarcasm, and you can't tell whether or not you're serious. Either be a hardass (not a bad thing don't ban me plz) or a funny mod, doing both is just asking for misunderstanding.

Can certain threads be open game? Like as an example is okay for meme/troll threads like SingSing's to have it?
