My name is Babblinggoat and I'm an openly queer, transgender man,
and a lover of the movie Hook.
And the best way to explain our stream is with our Raid message.
Have no fear, the crew of The Whisper is here,
with good looks, hooks and vibes, we're rolling with the tides.
Hi, my name's Cypheroftyr and I would describe my channel in a way that is
"cozy, comfy, do no harm, but take no guff from people".
What is Twitch Etiquette?
Twitch etiquette to me means the same as any other etiquette: being good guests.
And that's the way I look at being a viewer on Twitch.
You are a guest of that Channel
until you are either asked to leave or until
you come hang out and get cozy.
So make sure to keep an eye on what you say and how you act,
and remember that just because something is OK in one stream
doesn't mean that it's OK in another.
Why is it important?
I think it's very important to adhere to the Do's and Don'ts
that a Creator gives you when entering their channel,
because they've asked you to behave or act in a certain manner.
It's about guidelines of how we're supposed to act on the platform
to make sure that it's safe, fun, and welcoming for everyone.
And doing so is only being a good guest in someone's stream.
Because remember that being in someone's stream is a privilege, not a right.
Advice to creating your Do's and Don'ts
For those new streamers starting out on Twitch,
make a short list of Do's and Don'ts for your own Channel.
Be consistent.
It doesn't matter if it's a moderator, a long time viewer, or even yourself.
Something were to happen, take a look at it together,
learn and do better in the future.
Also mirror that in your Discord,
in your other places where you are trying to build community.
How Others can help with your Do's and Don'ts
Moderators, as well as other viewers without a sword,
can help these best practices by being stewards of the Channel.
You know what the broadcaster's like. You know what they are trying to do.
Speak up if something were to happen that wasn't OK,
but make sure to do it in a way
that follows the Do's and the Don'ts of the community
and have fun streaming.
