(FYI: Sorry for any grammatical errors. I was gonna fix this and whatnot before posting this message buuuuuuuuuuuut due to how things have gotten I just need to push it out the window)
Well I should probably get this out of my chest and make this.
As of late (for a good while now) I’ve been noticing a downhill trend in posts and people in the chat. What I mean is that we have people trying to force memes, say stupid/hateful/ignorant stuff, take over the chat with useless arguments or talk, or otherwise act like a douche and idiot in the chat. This isn’t everyone but most people. All this ends up making the chat toxic, cringe worthy, and painful to read.
I’ll probably have to go out of the way and use an example of what I mean of a forced meme that is otherwise annoying: Hyperdimension Neptunia. Look, I really adore the series but come on, seeing it posted all the time in such a forced manner, even when it’s not a discussion of games, not related to a certain troll, or simply not fitting at all, it gets irritating. The Nep-Nep spam is getting annoying to the point where I almost had to ban anything Neptunia related in my own streams. Neptunia ain’t gonna be Watch_Dogs 2.0 guys. I don’t mind if Neptunia is brought up now and then but not ALL THE TIME.
And we got shitty comments that are made during certain cringe videos. I can understand reacting to cringe but it’s always the same annoying comments: “Our generation is doomed!”, “Humanity is done for!”, “This kid should be killed!”, “Hitler was right all along,” or shit like that. No seriously, it’s making you as cringy as the cringe videos themselves. And while I’m talking about comments there’s also obviously anti-LGBT comments I see now and then and well, bigot-sounding comments in general. Look, humor like that is fine now and then but it’s usually out of nowhere and doesn’t even sound funny: It sounds hateful.
And here’s another issue I’m seeing: Attention Whoring. It’s something most of us are guilty of it but it’s getting to the point of being obnoxious. Stuff like “Mike Senpai notice me!!! <3 <3 <3”, trying to intentionally provoke chat users, or spamming for Mikes attention just makes you sound like an Attention Whore and it gets annoying. Let Mike take his time, let him notice you if he wants, and let the chat notice you. I ain’t trying to come across as mean here but there’s a ton of things Me, Mike, and the other people are focusing on and with a chat of 30-60 people, it gets a bit hard.
One other issue that is related to the Force Meme things: Forcing a gimmick. Trying to constantly make a gimmick out of yourself makes you sound like an attention whore and it makes everything seem forced. I mean these “gimmicks” some of us have, came from natural stuff or because we have to say something. My tildes (~) came out of a tiny typing mistake that I ultimately ended up doing intentionally for example. I’m just saying don’t try to shoehorn and force any memes or gimmicks thinking it’ll “add character” and “be funny”. It just makes you sound like an ass. I’m sorry.
One other thing: Politics. Look, Politics is a highly sensitive topic and WILL derail the chat and cause a lot of hateful arguments and it usually pops up even if politics isn’t mentioned on the stream at all in any format! Most of us don’t care if you’re voting for Trump, Sanders, Clinton, Cruz, or someone else. Most of us don’t care about your stance on war or pollution. Most of us don’t even care about certain current events. Most of us don’t care about your shitty Muslim, Black, or Jewish joke (Which are probably either forced or just out of nowhere) look it’s okay to post like “I can’t believe this happened.” But go on a huge ass tirade on Muslims, SJWs, radical feminists, or certain politicians just derails the chat into senseless political arguments.
Look, all I want is a chat that I can have fun in, not a chat that is painful. And I hate to admit this, but I’m losing respect in some of you people. Why do you think I’ve been fucking with the chat as of late? Because frankly it’s annoying me and I want to see something changed. I doubt I’ll get through anybody and I wasted 20-40 minutes typing this and at worst, I do expect people to intentionally do the shit I was complaining about more just to get under my skin but I felt the need to post this. I know I won’t get to anybody but I had to do it. I have to vent about the issues I see with the chat. I do NOT want to ban people or act like a strict mod just to get some sanity in the chat. I want to hope you guys can realize what’s going on, have some of you change and be more tolerable, and overall know what’s going on. Okay?
I just feel like things have gotten out of hand as of late with people begging for attention, taking cringe way too seriously, not taking everything else seriously, forcing memes, shoehorning political discussions, and well, acting immature and shitposting but NOT in a good way. I just feel like things need to be enforced here so things can be more fun again around the streams. I'm on the verge of leaving for good due to how annoying and distasteful people are becoming.
So at the very least, please try to change for the benefit of the chat. It’s for fun, not stupidity.
P.S. Please tone down the Pudding stuff for me. It was funny for a little bit but now I’m bombarded with pudding comments and I don’t want to have Pudding as my only defining trait. Just tone it down. Please.
(Also wow. Copy + Pasting most of this from Word document really left a few huge spaces. Jeez.)

I've noticed a few of these trends lately as well. Mostly politics, which I do end up being a part of but try to cut short. And also people overreacting to every little thing Mike shows, like sometimes he'll show something mildly odd and the chat will go "OMG WHAT?! " or "WHAT IS THIS!?!?" and other over the top reactions, I've tried to ignore it but it does make me cringe. The whole attention whoring is kind of bothersome as well, but I figure it's to be expected. I'm not sure if I do fit in in any of these complaints, as I tend to be a bit oblivious most of the time, but in any case I'll try to not do any of these things from now on regardless.

Thanks for the heads up, now I know to continue ignoring chat even more than I usually do because it's always been fucking terrible (to me).
I did lose any modicum of interest in the chat when all that chat clearing/sub-only/slow-mode spam kept happening a while back. Just saying. It annoyed me more than anything else that has happened in chat, ever. Just saying, like.
I could probably write a 3000 word essay on all the chat's faults, but to be brutally honest, I just don't give enough of a fuck to bother to do so. Chat is just a shitposting haven that Mike occasionally refers to. And something I reflect on when there's a lull in the stream, and then promptly feel the need to kill myself for doing so.
Just saying, though.

I admit, I do(or did) post clearing in the chat but the only reason why I ever do that is if there is something that absolutely must go. I mean yes I did it jokingly when Mike decided to spam stuff like Bubsy but then we got some stuff like people posting Undertale spoilers when Mike was playing the game and apparently TOing people wasn't good enough because they would either repost the spoilers or people in the chat would click the "Message deleted" thingy and bitch regardless. That was a lose/lose scenario right there.... and they STILL posted spoilers while bitching about spoilers regardless anyways.
And honestly yes, it IS hard to find a middle ground here. Either you are too lax and people still do the crap anyways or you are too strict and eventually people will either be discouraged to talk or in one persons stream I saw, people will fucking riot in the chat and spam shit(In this case they were spamming "ANARCHY!" all because the chat hated how the streamer didn't want to talk about the elections) until the streamer had to quit the stream.
And the reason why I ain't fond of the whole "Nep Nep" thing is because it was forced and I am kinda getting sick and tired of going everywhere and seeing it spammed regarding Mikes or other peoples streams. I mean I don't want them to not have fun but the majority of the time I'm seeing it, it's outright spam. I'd appreciate it more if well... it's less spam and less random/out there and more spaced out. Like to me it's not funny if someone just spams "NEP NEP" out of nowhere. That just qualifies as spam. If it was Neptunia related I'd understand.
And a LITTLE chat of politics won't hurt. The issue is when we get into these huge ass political debates or shoehorning political stuff into anything even if its not relevant. That's what bothers me.
Also I remember once Mike DID ask the chat to calm down(I forgot for what though) and the chat did the exact opposite. Soooo... yeah..
And there's a matter I forgot to mention: People bringing certain videos up to Mike. Only reason why I'm bringing this up is that some people like to send Mike unfunny political stuff or as of late, death and gore videos and that is a huge No-No in my book, especially if Mike seems disturbed by it.
Just adding into this stuff here.

Like some other people my biggest question regarding this would have been what should be done about it. There does seem to be an unfortunate general tendency of stuff that doesn't seem to add to the chat in any constructive way, or in a very polarising way that's going to annoy all but a small amount of people. What's more, it doesn't seem like anyone is advocating this behaviour with a malicious intent, but that those who do this are just misguided and, in the worst of cases, deliberately ignorant.
Of course, doing things in a way that censors everyone for vague reasons seems just as bad if not worse than letting this continue (just look at DSP's stream for a perennial example of this being done in the worst possible way). I'd say that being as upfront as possible about taking action against these problems would be a necessity to do it with any sort of effectiveness.
With this in mind, maybe it'd be good to create a Draconian Code of sorts to echo the general conduct rules you'd find in most mainstream channels, but more oriented towards the problems we're facing in Mike's and occasionally other chats. Assuming this is a reasonable idea, here are a few tentative proposals for having some kind of quality control in the chat:
* Any discussions regarding topics that aren't consistently relevant to the stream such as politics or news should not be protracted into anything more than a small handful of messages unless the streamer is actively encouraging this sort of discussion; if this is not the case, those involved who wish to continue the discussion should move it to skype or anywhere else. * Likewise, any topics that might be indirectly related to the streams such as personal remarks or games other than the one being played should be limited to stuff that is actually relevant, or at the very least not unnecessarily protracted. The streamer failing to actively acknowledge this kind of discussion should be a cue to stop or move it somewhere else. * It's okay to have an opinion, but don't spend all day trying to justify it, or be contrarian just because. Overly presumptuous comments that are made to irritate or disturb people in a non-comedic, completely unironic way (i.e. being a jerk/edgelord) are not to be humoured. Any legitimate discussion generated by an exchange of opinions is to be handled in the same way as in the first item. * Obviously exaggerated or hyperbolic comments or reactions ("WHAT??!?!?!?!?!?", "That's it, I've lost my faith in humanity") to anything are actively discouraged. * Spamming completely unwarranted memes/messages/images (on hitbox) is bad, mmkay. * Spambots/viruses/shock sites/other nasty shit everyone is guaranteed to hate is an obvious no-no.
** One I forgot: No backseat gaming unless the streamer specifically asks for it. It's a pretty universally hated thing with most casual playthroughs.
Of course, I dunno if anyone will actually think this is a good/viable thing to implement, but that's something I think could help.

I do like those a lot. I know my main issue is that when I was a mod, not a lot of people took me seriously when I was warning them... even after I TOed them. I kinda suspect that's due to my past status of butt monkey still lingering around. Like if saaaaaaaaayyy for an example here, Hatter tells someone to stop spamming and they stop spamming. When I tell someone to stop spamming, they spam more out of spite even after I TOed them.
And on the exaggerated comments/reactions I see that a lot whenever cringe is shown. I mean hell I remember two posts that I couldn't tell if they were joking or were serious given these peoples past posts. One was saying how he wished murder was legal and the other one was talking about how bullying should be encouraged.
Everything else there is right on the money.

But for everyone one besides me: Kind of why I don't bring up Neptunia considering I was into the series pre bern and Mic. The literal struggle against piracy in "console war" as a meta plot point is so good! But then, creepy anime bullshit. So I've stop trying to justify it. It's like saying X series is shit but the plot is good! *nervous laugh* :v But no it's pandering trash.

By far Yellow Heart/Peashy (TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine) is the worst. She's Literally for reals literally a kid but then transform into an adult but still with memories and mind set of a child. hyperdimensionneptunia.wikia.com/wiki/PeashyLike I like the meta shit but holy shit, It's why I get annoyed when Mike or Mic goes Nep Nep. It's already memeic shit, but it reminds me of all overly done creepy fan service instead of satire when I went into the series for. But then I get shit like Anonydeath which is the literal personification of the anonymous sony hacker attacks. hyperdimensionneptunia.wikia.com/wiki/AnonydeathFuck. *Rant*

What always drew me to mike's streams was the lack of walking on eggshells present from both Mike and the stream in general. Look, I'm anti politically correct and feel no need to sugarcoat anything but I don't try to be an asshole either. I think that's most normal people.
The thing about cracking down on offenses based on feelings is that eventually something will offend someone's sensibilities and you're just waiting for your ticket to come up. I see people coming up with grocery lists of arbitrary rules to remove toxic behavior... whatever that means, but all that's going to do is make people not want to speak at all. Or make generic cut and paste comments because they're afraid to speak their mind. None of this sounds like it helps to make an atmosphere where people can relax and chat with one another while watching a stream about nothing. When I see mods going nuts and chat clearing I don't think "whew, now I can speak again!" no. I think "well, guess chatting is over" and just tab out and listen to the audio.
So can we all just.. relax?
P.S. Hyperdimension Neptunia V was pretty fun, it's the only one I've played but as an RPG I enjoyed the gameplay a lot. The ass n titties was just a pleasant bonus.

Their's speaking your mind, and then their's making segments of "Fuck you Bern" or calling her a tranny, or intentionally sending Mike nothing but videos to intentionally spark political rants to verify your own political position. Nevermind cringe is literally a backdrop for filler content, when that becomes the focus more than games then I lose interest personally. If I want political insight I can just go to Mike's FB wall. It's not a critique on the chat speaking their mind or censorship, rather it's out general disgust at attention whoring which takes the forms of asking for mods pl0x, and trying to force a meme. The entire reason this form exists was to satirize the original forum, which was pure chaos and copy pasta filler. I can't speak for the rest of the chat, but the fact Mike has a TV Tropes page and a forum (Ironically mine) is the reason I hate our group. There was a time Mike wanted his Trope page deleted and wanted to stay in obscurity. Which is on the reasons why I like Mike. He's at the most part anti internet culture in the guise of a loveable cynical trucker. To give him pseudo internet celeb statue missing the point on why his streams are good and his let's plays are cult hits. I do however agree with Mike and his desire to connect to his "fans". But shit posting videos just to be noticed is kind of the worst way to do it. IDK MAN. This shit is why I stayed a lurker for the first 2 years watching Mike. *Mike if you're reading this when's SD SNATCHER?

The ass n titties was just a pleasant bonus. >Implying that the mods aren't anti-PC as hell and are willing to give people shit over SJW nonsense, and that there hasn't already been an instance where someone was chased off by Mike himself no less because they wouldn't stop bitching about that. Relax is what I wish some of the people who have led to this topic being created would do. It shouldn't be that difficult to contribute to a stream chat without devolving into attention whoring or rambling about irrelevant shit. You'd think a fun place to hang out would be as chill as possible, but when there's a crowd, even one as sparse as Mike's, misunderstandings and failure to perceive ironies can be really common, leading to all sorts of unwarranted bullshit. When that happens, it should be called out and resolved in a way that stops it from becoming further aggravated. This is exactly why I said that any actual modding should be as upfront as possible. I mean, look at what happens in DSP's chat— people get quietly permabanned for even suggesting the perfectly valid point that DSP is a piece of shit. I'd assume that's the sort of thing we want to avoid. Mods should try to get people who do this annoying shit to stop, thereby making the reason for the consequences perfectly clear if they fail. Likewise, if one resorts to chat-clearing in an effort to remove spoilers, they should at least take care to mention it afterwards. Frankly, I think one of the best things for the chat would be to assume that just about anything said there should be taken with a grain of salt, and anyone who attempts to have any kind of serious discussion (which unless it's directly related to the stream, shouldn't happen in the chat anyway) makes that clear before it even starts. What I personally would like to actually see in the chat would be people coming to watch a fat man play games and rap on stupid and irreverent videos, joking around, sharing an experience, and not trying to vie for unwarranted attention, stroking their egos, or trying to get their jollies by ranting about shit that most everyone will find annoying on a platform that really doesn't warrant it. If you really are someone who's not looking to start shit and just wants to have a fun time with people who share this corner of the world, then there should be absolutely no problem. I should know, I was in that position in Mike's chat for a couple of years and still am in various other places of the net. But that's just me. Honestly, I don't know if it'd be possible to even continue this topic at this point without getting some input from Mike himself and what he thinks about all this. At least for his streams, since I'm probably gonna try to implement some of the stuff I've discussed where relevant on mine this week and beyond. #MakeTheStreamsGreatAgain Their's speaking your mind, and then their's making segments of "Fuck you Bern" or calling her a tranny, or intentionally sending Mike nothing but videos to intentionally spark political rants to verify your own political position. Nevermind cringe is literally a backdrop for filler content, when that becomes the focus more than games then I lose interest personally. If I want political insight I can just go to Mike's FB wall. It's not a critique on the chat speaking their mind or censorship, rather it's out general disgust at attention whoring which takes the forms of asking for mods pl0x, and trying to force a meme. The entire reason this form exists was to satirize the original forum, which was pure chaos and copy pasta filler. I can't speak for the rest of the chat, but the fact Mike has a TV Tropes page and a forum (Ironically mine) is the reason I hate our group. There was a time Mike wanted his Trope page deleted and wanted to stay in obscurity. Which is on the reasons why I like Mike. He's at the most part anti internet culture in the guise of a loveable cynical trucker. To give him pseudo internet celeb statue missing the point on why his streams are good and his let's plays are cult hits. I do however agree with Mike and his desire to connect to his "fans". But shit posting videos just to be noticed is kind of the worst way to do it. IDK MAN. This shit is why I stayed a lurker for the first 2 years watching Mike. *Mike if you're reading this when's SD SNATCHER? Also I don't know about the forums and the tvtropes page making Mike any less "underground". He clearly isn't involved in any of it and where he may have wanted it removed at one point he just stopped caring, meaning he himself isn't in any way aiming to become more visible through doing the social media shuffle or anything like that. If anything, he seems to be growing more attentive towards his YT channel after neglecting it for a while, showing that he at least cares somewhat about that people who are already watching him, even if he's doing nothing to appeal to any sort of mainstream or PC audience. If you asked him, I'm positive he wouldn't say he's intentionally trying to be a living satire of internet culture or anything, but is just doing what he does for fun and for the sake of any worthwhile people involved.

Oh, I like it isn't an active destine but rather that the biproduct of this attitude. The fact he doesn't do the "Like, share, subscribe" spiel shows that aspect of Youtube and by extension streaming doesn't appeal to him. What I met to say he's anti internet culture in the way that the social acceptance, the Friend/subscriber collecting aspect isn't his thing and that's really refreshing. But no, I do agree with you. He does care about the people who are already here. I just like the fact he's a hobby, a hobby to spend time with people he likes, instead of seeing us as cash cows. This also is why I see skype being more and more active of late as a sign that he does want to interact with us as I stated before. As for TVTropes, Mike don't care that much to remove it but he has commented on the fact he thinks it should be reserved by other people not him, which does speak about Mike's character as well. * Also I secretly hate TV Tropes and wanted an excuse to commentate about it.
