Site notifications for Twitch Go streamers

[IamGOmez]

I’d like to draw attention to the fact that more recently the site notification system has been used to advertise Twitch streamers playing Go, which in itself is fantastic; the more people watching and interacting with Go the better. It does need to be noted however that sometimes these streamers can be at offensive and/or rude, which I feel isn’t something that OGS should associate itself with, let alone advertise.

I have one very specific example, without drawing attention to anyone. After clicking the link to a twitch stream, within one minute I heard the streamer refer to people playing in one of the other advertised games as a insert derogatory term here. I don’t think this is acceptable.

Perhaps some discretion should be taken before linking to essentially unmoderated streams?

Kind regards!

I’ve heard a streamer calling his opponent, among other things, a ****** ****. In the end… all it does is reflect negatively on the streamer. I would recommend chatting with a mod instead of posting a forum topic. You can’t make the stream advertisement undone but you might be able to encourage some constructive dialogue between streamer and mods - if OGS even has to care at all. Usually this is dealt with in a disclaimer, though I get why you would count stream links to count as endorsements, even though I see them as distinct.

It was probably some banter that you heard out of context. I’ve watched many Go streamers and none of them are unpleasant (though I don’t watch dwyrin…)
