Ep 9 - Moderators — Shenantics

"I'm going to wait until the day I die to watch that movie."

Welcome to Shenantics with Skanky and mcul where they discuss life on the Internet. New episodes are released on Monday morning. On today's episode:

Updates on mcul's dating profile.
Stand-up comedy and improv.
Young Skanky and mcul: the studious and the clown.
Fake PAX stories. (this episode was recorded before PAX East)
mcul likes a very specific genre of shows.
Streaming non-game content on Twitch.
Streaming with other people.
- For established streamers and those just starting out.
The important skill of talking to yourself.
Updates on the Truman Show.
Skanky's viewer numbers on Twitch.
mcul forces a question that Shenantics has been avoiding.
Dealing with people in the community who don't break the rules but act inappropriately.
- Have rules, but not too many.
- Define your community.
- Take charge, because someone needs to.
- Vague but applicable rules help. Skanky uses "don't make people feel uncomfortable."
- Execute on, and enforce, the rules.
- Have mods message the person.
- Have consequences and they need to escalate as time goes on (increasing timeouts and ultimately ban them).
How the guys pick moderators.
Streamers as moderators.
Badges in Twitch chat.
The food finish: salad!
Skanky attempts to do the ending.
