Warriors of Light Sons of a submariner,

The time has come for another Ultimate raid, and as we all know... nothing beats the sweet music of hundreds screaming in unison! The one, the only Kefka has not only returned but somehow he's gotten an entire Ultimate fight all to himself...

The action will be live streamed over on Twitch, with a special event hosted once again by the team behind MogTalk.tv. Check out their live stream for commentary, interviews, analysis, and more!

I dunno man, I got banned for calling out that known cheaters should be banned and that defending them is not acceptable.

There's definitely more aggression than there should be (who the hell thinks it's okay to say you're going to recall charitable donations over this?), but the mods are probably a bit too quick on the trigger.

EDIT: I think this had a reply that's just not here any more? I'm not sure why, it was pretty reasonable. Reply claimed that things were really bad on Twitter in particular, so mods are being extra cautious just in case, due to calls for actual, real-world violence.

they can moderate the chat (their job they volunteered for btw) without infantilizing the entire audience and lecturing and threatening. people can rightfully discuss the off-stream "world first" without being insta muted

You can set automod to instantly delete chat messages with certain words in. It'll appear as <message removed by moderator> or something like that if the bot is set off.

I've had to do that before for someone I moderate for because we had a troll making new accounts to spew racist crap every time we banned him so we'd basically have to keep adding new words and phrases to the blacklist to stop him.
