I have honestly never used an "emote" because i never knew how to type them and never cared to know. But i honestly cant look at chat anymore because of all these, they are extremely annoying and only have worth if they are used sparingly, not every effing post.

And like another poster mentioned, it makes chat sound like a bunch of immature kids yelling catchphrases at their screens thinking they are funny. The more viewers, the exponential amount of offenders. I would be completely fine with twitch removing them entirely

I had no idea people were dropping "Kappas" and "FrankerZs" in TL posts...

Anybody stupid enough to break up an otherwise sensible post with mindless shit that has no functionality on this forum should do the following before clicking Post:

1. Slap yourself.
2. Ask someone else to slap you.
3. If you still feel like using Kappa in or after a sentence as anything but a proper noun, start back at step 1 and repeat as necessary.

For users unable to get the problem under control using the above steps I have a new home in mind for you... the Rust sub-forum at facepunch.com or the Blizzard forums.

Yes, this. In my opinion those are much worse than twitch memes, mostly because more people using those. Also it just makes sense, twitch emotes belong to twitch chat, hashtags to twitter etc.

Hastgas are outright absiurd. It's like if someone were typing C code in the forum. Hashtags do have a function on twitter, you can click on them, see shit.

Twitch chats have really become useless. There is no point in discussing the games anymore as people are spamming nonsense every second. I really hope channels starts to just do subscriber only to chat. Just block out the idiots. Make them pay to chat, if they get banned they just cant recreate another account without paying.

I am sad. RIP Greyface/Kappa, you allways made me smile and laugh, I will have to spamm Kappa on twitch now only..

A childish humor doesn't thrive on TL nowadays ;; Oh well.

You should probally put a link to this in the modnote in the dota2 general thread if you want it to be seen.

I've seen and used C code in forums before... For example, using != instead of something like =/= is not a big deal.

And hashtags DO have a purpose outside of twitter, they make a quick reference or point without resorting to complete declarative sentences. For example, that whole last sentence could be summarized with something like:

One would hope that complete declarative sentences wouldn't be something people feel like they need to resort to in a forum.

That might have been sarcasm that just went over my head, but I felt like saying it anyway.

I actually do find correct use of some memes/image macros funny, but because so few actually employ them well it's probably best to keep the outright ban.

If I ever get to be Supreme Overlord of TL the 'USA' joke will be completely expunged. Not sure what else would survive my Stalinist purges, probably the 'PvP is skill jokes at my beloved Oz. From there I'd likely hire some Cold War era Soviet propagandists to make Oz images in the style of the time.

I actually love the hype that twitch chats can create when not in sub only. It's less about discussing the games and more about a stadium crowd environment.

Why are you proud, you are a banling. You don't feel proudness, just banlingness.

We users and staff members of other areas are the ones that are allowed to have such feelings as proudness. You banlings are here purely to ban and linger around until your next ban. Feelings are overrated for ones in your position and as such you are limited to having only the feelings of love and hate towards those you ban. To even claim that you feel proudness is to show a wanting to be something more. However, that something is so far out of reach that to claim it as your own would be to be something other than a banling.

Think of it this way:

Users - Caterpie
Banlings - Metapod
Other staff members - Other Pokemon
Moderators - Butterfree
Admins - Mewtwo

As you can tell, you are the useless hardening Metapod that only Tackle and String Shot when they feel like it.

String Shot - Warning
Tackle - Bans of various damage.
