Different platform, but exactly the same deal moderating Twitch chats. I think my favorite insult that I’ve received was that I was personally “the downfall of Western civilization.”

The upshot to those disruptions happening in an active chat like that though is that everyone sees how much of a knob that person is being and is perfectly happy to see them gone.

Anything that gives you status over others will attract people. How many people do you think would actually want to mod twitch chat if they didn’t get a sword icon?

Honestly… I mod twitch chat for the commands to help the streamers for which I mod. I wish I could turn off the sword icon… But I mod for streamers that typically have <500 viewers at a time.
