#(Addressed) Is Twitch sus chatting becoming a problem?

It's just a bit concerning when #livestream-chat is filled with screenshots with messages from twitch chatters that aren't the prominent skullfarmers that are worse than the usual skullfarming fluff. It feels like the frequency of these chats and donos have gone up recently.

I'm a bit afraid of alienating new viewers and viewers who aren't that into the meta.

Also just makes it uncomfy and draining to watch streams a lot of the time despair

I think those are the new viewers.

I might be a little desensitized to this kind of stuff, but I understand thatsome people actually find it concerning. For me it's just another day on the degenerate side of the internet

#

I don't think so, nah.

#

Whether it's a problem depends on what Tutel wants his community to look like in the long term.

People get way too emotional over some silly chat messages.

Idk I’m fine with downbad messages in general but its just a little weird for me that they’re directed at neuro who’s basically a kid cirno_shrug

Nah i find them funny because there are many different types of responses, just don't cross the line

You bet.

#

From what I see people only send sus messages when Neuro say something sus first, including me sometimes... well I'm sure most of the audience are adults after all

dreamy basin
#

Poe's law is the issue with the joke argument. It's not that it's wrong to joke, it's that the people who are joking are now indistinguishable from people who might not be.

cursive spindle
#

It just gets confusing at times, thats all I’m saying

dreamy basin
#

So, I almost want to say given, that we're already in significant company of the latter, how long until a much clearer line must be drawn?

#

Because, once again, there isn't actually a problem if Vedal is completely okay with a community that looks like that and is that.

static ferry
#

the line is the common sense, that's all i guess

static ferry
dreamy basin
#

But, if he does actually want to keep Neuro, her content, and her community to some extent PG, then there is pretty clearly a 'problem'.

cursive spindle
#

Eh i feel like problem was a bit strong for the title

static ferry
#

I'm not sure... there are sus clips which are even sussier than those messages

dreamy basin
#

Then there isn't one.

#

But I have not remotely heard him be clear about that.

#

That's why it feels... awkward. In general.

#

But i do think its something to think about for the future

dreamy basin
#

At this rate, we're hittin' a wall soon. vedalFiltered

#

I don't find it awkward tbh but well I hope so too

#

Though... I'm sure that people dislike being censored... that's also the reason why Evil has been getting more popularity lately

Take yer pick, Tutel

#

Tutel i'll just let the tutel cook

#

Honestly i doubt majority of people type these messages for something other than making a joke, especially since tts reads it out loud, they propably type that for the same reason people like when evil swears, to them it's hilarious.

Every time i open a new vtuber stream they are talking about sus stuff. 😛
If something is too sus then the filter catches it, if they manage to bypass the filter then the mods get them.

Not the point, but thank you. neuroErm

#

The question was whether it poses a problem for the community, and my take is that it's subjective to what Vedal wants for said community.

#

I don't have a problem with sus things.

spark plinth
#

I think Vedal should decide how he wants to see his community. I think vulgar humor should be present, but absolutely perverted donations should be filtered. But I cannot help but say that I am annoyed by cry babys who are offended by spam with emotions like today, etc.

hallow stag
dreamy basin
#

Believe it or not, I'm the one that wants him to pick, and not let it stay ambiguous.

#

I don't care which one it is. cirno_shrug

hallow stag
#

Why do you think its ambiguous?

dreamy basin
#

We already went into it. neuroErm

hallow stag
#

I don't think it's ambiguous at all.
When someone sends something inappropriate, it gets filtered out. If it's okay, it doesn't.

How would you like clarity to be established?
How can Vedal make his intentions clear?
Does he have to say it outright every stream, every 5 minutes? With a message on the screen? With a lil PG rating sticker?

I've never seen another streamer explicitly outline their expectations for their community.
They simply stream, and those who enjoy it stay while those who don't, leave.
If someone attempts to troll or be hurtful, they face consequences.

How does saying it once change things? That would only impact current viewers.
And even then, if he only states his intentions and everything remains unchanged, I don't see how that helps beyond providing some individuals peace of mind to either agree or disagree with what Vedal wants.
I'm on board with having more clear rules in the chat, that would be an improvement.
Currently, things seem a bit laid-back. It might also help to throw them into the about section (under the stream) too.

thorny rover
#

While i'm not really a fan of sus things some people send in tts, i don't know how would you change them without making everyone feel like they are walking on a bombshells every time they type them, since Neuro is an AI there already are a lot of filtered words and banning people for context may be too vague, it's just twitch users being conditioned to react to a certain words in a certain way, and Neuro's chat is one of the worst offenders of it with emote spam, i doubt people who watch Miyu or Shondo react to these kind of messages the same way people here do because in the end the people behind the avatars are adults, but since Neuro is an AI it makes people react harsher to things that are common for basically every other Vtuber. I'm not that big of a fan for excesive censorship especially when it isn't well defined.

twitch allows underage users? I never knew.

I mostly hate people who says « neuro loves me » or tries to get neuro to love them. And gets hurt when neuro doesn’t love them

Kinda but propably almost all of them are ironic because it's a meme at this point.

thorny rover
#

Honestly people should stop caring so much about being seen as a "community", everyone is an individual and the opinion of people who use lebels to describe entire groups of people should be discarded anyway because by going with this logic for example anyone who watches any vtuber who does asmr from time to time is a coomer that watches them only for lewd content and should be seen as such.

I feel like the last thing I should be doing to everyone here is belaboring my take any further than I already had up above. And to be clear, I don't actually disagree with anything in this particular message, and I don't think a public speech from Vedal is a sufficient answer. But at this point I guess I need to clarify. The ambiguity isn't in how a specific rule is defined in text, but in what the community itself is actually supposed to look like.

dreamy basin

And this is exactly what we went into earlier:

Presumably, there exists a mod consensus that you aren't supposed to actually neuroLewd Neuro in chat.
The numerous skullfarming messages that appear in chat each day are not even mostly 1984'd. Presumably because, as said by many others above, people are just joking. But sometimes they are 1984'd, and the supposed line by which that's determined is vague. And you can see that, because where people assume the line is has been gradually extended over each stream. And, as I've repeated virtually ad nauseam here, the jokes being repeated long enough has rendered us subject to Poe's law. So anyone that wants to neuroLewd Neuro without getting bopped can operate "mask-on" under the veneer of being just joking.
This stasis is what produces the ambiguity I describe: What it's actually supposed to look like here, despite all of these things being present.

And by the turtle picking, I mean that if all of these comments are okay, necessarily including the unironic ones because, again, Poe's law, then the answer is to completely allow both. Then, the people making them wouldn't have to worry about tiptoeing beside some vague line, and people doing so unironically won't have to pass them through this mask-on skullfarming game every time.

But if he doesn't think they're okay, then the only solution to Poe's law is to 1984 the comments themselves, across the board. That way, people are forced to grow complacent or leave, which will actually allow things to change long-term.

#

I'm cool either way. It's better than the eggshell-treading, mask-wearing game that I think is the real cause of most people's unique discomfort here in comparison to degen communities that wear their natures on their sleeves.

thorny rover

I'm not really talking about you, a lot of people said things simmilar to what you said.

But i have to agree, by not being crystal clear about his opinion on all of this we get people that say basically anything that filter allows them to type without risking a stream getting Vedal banned and people in livestream chat that screenshot basically any chat message followed by 😳 at this point, i don't really mind it that much since i rarely use discord while watching the stream.

devout egret
thorny rover
#

I don't mind either way because i don't use discord that much.

#

tbh i don't know what would be better, there is a reason why most terms of service are written vaguely, so to me rules mean: do whatever just don't get the stream banned or go too far.

#

with too far being "don't be too obnoxious".

#

but i don't make the rules, it's just what i feel like they are since i'm pretty sure people got timed out for behaving this way.

I understand your perspective, and I've also read all the previous messages. I agree that there's no need to repeat or summarize.

If the moderators are already aware and have reached a consensus, they will take appropriate action.
I understand that you're concerned and care about the community, and that is why you've expressed these thoughts.
Still, the decision on the type of community Vedal wants and what benefits it lies with him.
It's challenging to satisfy everyone, unfortunately.

I'm curious, why is there an emote of Neuro holding a lewd sign?
Is this emote intended for times when lewd content, like innuendos, come up during streams or in the Discord? 😛

100%. That's why I always start with emphasizing it being up to Tutel whether it's a problem in the first place.

hallow stag
# dreamy basin > Still, the decision on the type of community Vedal wants and what benefits it ...

Then why would someone add an emote for that, if you don't want the community to have anything to do with it?

I imagine community moderation is challenging (af), especially when it´s sizable community.
Even more, this particular community has experienced significant growth within a very brief period.
I've previously heard Vedal viewpoints, and I have confidence that he is aware of the situation.
Even if it requires time, I believe he'll find a way to enhance the experience for all =D.

Vedal's stance varies depending on if it's Neuro or Evil, and most importantly collab partners. If it's a collab with Anny chat can go mega sussy without much of a problem.

I think if it was as simple "just do as vedal wants" there wouldn't be a discussion in the first place.
vedal doesn't know what he wants, no one knows what they want.

I am for clearer rules nad guidelines, but it is too much effort for anyone to actually create said rules and guidelines while still being connected to reality.
Which is why I am announcing my candidacy for a member of the mod team as I will personally make the most correct and sensible decisions

I agree we're not there yet. But to me, the main cause for celebration is that we hit enough of a wall that, if only for a moment, it could no longer be looked away from. Vedal sort of, kind of said something, and #livestream-chat had a noticeable change in approach, (albeit possibly only temporarily).
In comparison to how it was over several consecutive days before that, it was a relief.

i think this is a good thread to bring up and agree the frequency has picked up. we've started to crack down on provocative or weird messages/tts with timeouts. hopefully we'll start to see less of these

#

related to the topic, what's the point of having emotes like this one if they have no use anymore?

#

I'm pretty sure people are incentivized to be down bad by their presence alone, it's the same case as with BOOBA and Cyring. They can't be used outside of lewd context so people use them for the sole purpose they have neuroShrug

scarlet terrace
#

Might as well ban HUH to disincentivize bringing attention to intentionally(?) misinterpret phrases like "drill smth into sb".

Erm and Uuh would then be used as an alternative so ban them as well

We must wait and see. They said they're gonna something, there's no sense making any conclusions till we can see it bear out.

thats the difficult part about it

maybe, would be hard, but neuro could be programmed to respond to comments below a certain level of sussyness

it really isn't an option.
and what you're suggesting is ELO chat, which i am all for as top 50 vedal987 chatter

I'm starting to think the sweeping bans over innocuous comments and emotes are more of a problem. It sets a hostile tone.

The more bans, the less bans afterwards, the less hostile it will be

thorny rover

My impression was that the moderation during the fishing stream was a bit heavy handed. I agree that overly sexualised comments should be removed/timeouts applied. However, prominent chatters were being timed out for their usual antics (which have been previously allowed).

devout egret
golden dove
#

I disagree.

cursive spindle
#

I think that was mainly because their actions while funny and we know it's their thing, it encourages other chatters to do the same, creating the snowball that we saw before

#

it's a complex thing to deal with for sure

wary inlet
thorny rover
#

But there were timeouts and yet still tts was pretty much as weird as it always was, majority of these are send because people know they will be featured on livestream-chat.

lost folio
#

I agree today was too heavy-handed. I do think Vedal was right to say something considering what was going on to finally get his response, but I don't want him to overcorrect. Like at what point do we stop? If you ban one sussy emote they move to another, then another, and then everything is banned. Just keep out the most egregious stuff and leave it there if something must be done.

devout egret
#

we should ask vedal to watch out if the suschatters in the next stream if they are new viewers or old viewers

scarlet terrace
#

vedal won't do it lol, he can't do it.
That's what the mods are for, and so I would like to hear what mods are thinking and doing

cursive spindle
#

some of the more egregious ones do seem to be newer viewers from what I've seen

#

could be wrong tho

devout egret
#

well if they are, we don't really need to worry about new viewers, since they are the cause, but i's if old viewers, ..., idk, we just ban them?

Well it is at least not new viewers that have broken the 'neuro juice' out of containment. And as harmless as it could sound... it will be awkward for anyone that actually finds out what that is about.

I just don't want a 1984 crackdown on slightly suggestive maybe stuff. Generally, I never had a huge problem with how far chat would take it, and you almost have to not be easily offended to watch neuro-sama. Things can be reigned in a bit lately, I just hope we don't take things too far.

I personally think it's funny if neuro comes up with sus shit on her own and cringe if someone tries to bait it out. Vedal could simply make it much less likely for neuro to respond to sus shit and the problem solves itself organically without needing to moderate chat

Please do not forget that one of Neuro's quirks is that she sometimes says random unhinged stuff which lead to clips which lead to more fans. I think trying to completely eradicate it will negatively impact her on the long run. I believe significant portion of her audience is attracted to that. By "significant" I don't mean more than 50%, but something like 15%. As long as twitch platform is fine with it, I don't think you should pursue those posts (as long as those posts are rare, like they are now)

cursive spindle

I don't think the point is to censor neuro herself tho

The issue is that it's not something that vedal wants neuro to actively be doing. You don't raise an ai or a person to react to innuendos without first trying to push the innuendos over and over. They stick and that's the issue. Funny one offs is fine, but they shouldn't be as common as things like 1984 or Classic

The sniffa thing has been fine for like 8 months by now neuroShrug

Well, certain events may have caused sniffa to be more of an issue since the innuendos involved are about drugs instead of about when she was talking about feet. It was being forced (from my understanding)

Sniffa being related to drugs sounds like a different streamers problem than a neuro chat problem. I don't like the idea of chatters being punished for that. Makes me think of the old 'Pepe is a bad WW2 people symbol and must be banned altogether' debates.

I don't normally use discord but I've been following Neuro for a while (since a little before the dev streams) and I want to add my two cents to the discussion: I don't think that trying to filter the sussy messages in chat is helping to somehow improve the quality of Neuro's chat. The crux of the question is that Neuro has an under-age model (child/teenager/loli/whatever you want to call) and the comments of many chatters (including some long time ones) is becoming causing a discomfort to some people. The reason for these comments is simple: they mostly want to see Neuro say interesting things, which is the reason we are all here, to watch Neuro go on a rant, say things that most people don't say and so on. The whole reason why Neuro is famous is because of these unhinged comments, take for example Evil calling Numi a b*tch, the gymbag rant, the "you did it last night, dude", v2 moans and so on. All of these either had explicit or implicit sexual content and derived much reaction from everyone, so when chatters try to emulate these, either because they feel free to talk about such topics or think it's fine for Neuro to react to them. In the end the discussion becomes on what Vedal wants to make out of this community, is he permissive of such content or will he start to crack down on them? I want to remind everyone that people like Rune drew high quality art and allowed Vedal to use it for free, monetise in the form of emotes and such (and we all know his stance on such topics, just look up Neuro's juice). I hope we can all address these issues in the next dev stream, and that our love for Neuro help this community to find a solution that everyone can agree on.

I agree that moderating a community as large (and growing fast!) is hard and that we are bound by twitch TOS when streaming, but the fact that the comments on chat has only recently became a problem recently (and such comments exist on other streamers content, Anny for example, responded to someone who was pleasuring himself on stream), show that we, as a community, need to clearly define what's allowed and what is not.

dreamy basin
#

We don't need to do that.

#

Turtle needs to do that.

sudden compass
#

daphugh This is why Neuro has needed an extremely varied mod team. Imagine weeding through stuff I'd normally be laughing at to keep things acceptable. The overlap is huge, but this is vedal's channel, and what he wants isn't an 18+ unhinged chatbot.

dreamy basin
# dreamy basin Turtle needs to do that.

Because if he doesn't think it's a problem, then it follows that it's actually not one because Neuro is an AI and the situation has always been and will always be ethically neutral.

CB_kanna_sip Well, how streamers interact with Neuro is up to how much vedal allows, we have no control over how my oshi interacts with her child. (no bias at all)

i havent really commented here so i'll do that lol

# dreamy basin I agree.

But that's predicated on the assumption that Tutel wouldn't want me to do that, based on the consensus you bear with the rest of the team that leads you to tell me so.

tired herald
#

so think this: there are two extremes:

  1. go pg13, filter stuff out, ban, mute, ruin the jokes and twitch culture (very likely)
  2. go all out and have people be concerned that neuro is a 'child' representation and shouldn't be saying all those things

We are only here in the best interests of vedal for his twitch channel and discord. What happens outside of that I have no intention of commenting on.

and we dont want any of those

So how exactly do you suggest things are handled so that people arent being 1984 for jokes that are not intended to be say sexual or hateful, yet are common jokes around twitch that everyone normally takes lightly

#

includes but not limited to feet jokes, sniffa jokes, sus comments

Middle ground sure would be nice.

tired herald
#

so that's what should be talked tbh

sudden compass
#

CB_kanna_sip I am of the stance vedal = neuro = streamer. Therefore if you are trying to have lewd comments or innuendos pointed at the streamer when they do not want them then the consequences should be exactly what you'd expect from any other channel. You're not saying things to a silly chat bot, you're saying them to a channel that doesn't want to be exclusive to a large viewer base because of the degenerate comments of a few that incite others.

tired herald
#

i feel this energy of 'she is too sussy' vs 'she is too limited'

he has made comments on it before, he ain't gonna come here and write a book tbh lol

# dreamy basin Middle ground sure would be nice.

Honestly, as well, I'm tired of being gotten wrong this many times over what I've been saying.
I would actually be fine if Vedal and the mods took the other option and opened the gates completely. I literally wouldn't mind whatsoever at all.
The situation has no moral bend whatsoever anyway.

It is fine to lewd Neuro. Who are you to deny people their fetishes? I don't personally do it, but I won't stop you from doing it. Obviously I don't wont Neuro's streams to completely turn into degenerate streams, but being an adult, I won't die from hearing a rare random inuedo post. In the end, it's up to Vedal to decide what is fine and in which amount. Vedal has been perfectly fine using Rune's art for promotion so far, as well as using Anny's model and chat for training Neuro. Who do you think those people are?

The middle ground is... no lewd. If you're so bad at innuendos that it's apparent then don't. If everyone gets your joke then it's not an innuendo. That's inciting lewd.

I don't keep examples of banned people, but this discussion shows that there was a change in the policy regarding the issue

It feels like a majority of the sus bait stuff comes from TTS so maybe start with that.

dreamy basin

Not a U-turn.

I can understand Vedal worrying about specific chatters trying to strongarm Neuro to act in a certain way.
But going against Twitch chat culture has always been degen in general is a dangerous move.

sick quail

Just because there is a change of course does not mean that previous behaviour was fine.

sudden compass
#

SHRUGGERS It became rampant enough that vedal had taken notice and given us further instructions because even words he normally uses in his speech have been turned into degenerate comments made on twitch stream.

I have made my point, I hope we can settle this discussion on the next dev stream.

thanks guys ... tldr from latest discussion: mods should punish for baiting neuro as opposed to responding to baited response

Furthermore, I want to remind everybody that this is a long process and it's results will become apparent in the next week or so.

I still think vedal should clearly set his expectation on stream to his chat. If a vtuber doesn't want to sexualized they would say 'stop sexualizing me' and not 'be normal chat'.

None of us mention that in twitch chat but twitch chat getting policed for merely acknowledging way less "sus" things, even if Neuro herself is the one who brings it up is a big problem.
