A run-off between the top two choices may happen if none of them reaches 50% of the votes

With the current happenings of Ice possibly faking/scripting content we decided to put up a vote on whether or not he should be banned from the subreddit

The same thing happened some time ago with Mitch Jones, where he started/manufactured drama with other streamers

If the vote goes through to ban Ice only he will be banned, nobody from the "Cx Network" is going to be lumped with him, but clips with him in it will be removed

Here's the evidence that pushed us into starting a vote:

Ice allegedly hired a cop for content

You're all free to use this thread to discuss this decision and comment against/for Ice's ban, but be respectful and follow the rules

"Critics argued that Article 13, and related legislation passed today by MEPs, risked infringing on freedom of speech"

"At its core, the overarching Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market is an attempt by the European Union to rein in the power of big technology companies. Article 13 will make platforms legally responsible for all the copyright content they host."

I am posting this link here because I think it is a "fail", and it is very much livestream related.

The @Twitch ban update is one of the more severe a social platform has implemented. If you ban a person, they can no longer see chat. But also, any additional accounts they create are IP shadowbanned (they can post messages but no one can see them.)

Banned users will not appear in the chat list at all - they also will not be able to see any messages in chat from other users, either.

For clarity, however, banned users will still be able to see the chat list themselves - this is for instances in which they would be able to request an appeal from a channel's moderation team.

Hey everyone!

With Ludwig’s recent move to YouTube, it is clearer than ever that DMCA Copyright will continue to negatively affect live streamers, with things getting progressively worse over time.

To help protect the Twitch community, I decided to quit my job in order to do something to help. After over a year of full-time development, I am ready to bring some good news for once regarding DMCA!

I made an extension called Tenami that works like BetterTTV that extends Twitch’s watch party feature to include support for Netflix, Disney+, Crunchyroll, HBO Max, and YouTube watch parties. You can try it out here:

https://www.tenami.tv/

Tenami works where, once you have the extension installed, you can join Netflix, HBO Max, etc., watch parties across all of Twitch just like how you already would join an Amazon Prime Video watch party.

In the spirit of LSF, here is a short clip of what a Tenami Watch Party looks like, featuring Twitch personality NymN hosting a Netflix watch party of Riot’s Arcane just ahead of his New Year’s show.

Tenami ensures that all viewers are watching content legally from the source and fully protects Twitch streamers from DMCA Copyright claims. For stream setup, Tenami uses the exact same setup as Twitch’s watch party feature for Prime Video. If you need help, you can also follow this guide.

Since my previous post in July, the full theater mode is now available directly from the extension, along with Disney+ support and a completely overhauled Crunchyroll watch party experience to look like Netflix and Prime Video.

We are working to improve Tenami every day, and I’d love to hear your feedback! We have some awesome new features staged for next month that I can’t wait to share with you all.

Please feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy to answer them!
