MOD Reminder about rule #10 - Progress posts and stats!

325 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Last year there were a lot of requests to remove post about progress and stats of streams. Mainly for the reasons that everyone was just posting their stream stats and all other posts were being buried in the sea of pictures. They were proving to be post of either "look at me" or "why no one likes me?" which can be discouraging for possibly the user themselves or others. We held discussions with members of this community and had overwhelming requests to create Rule #10 - No posts about your progress or stats of your stream. Instead please use the Mega thread to highlight the small victories you would like the world to know. Making affiliate or partner is acceptable.

This has been the biggest infraction from newer users of the subreddit and raises a lot of questions. Newer members of this community often feel like they are being targeted by mods as we remove their post as they have seen other post at times also breaking this rule.

The truth is we are enforcing the rules as best as we can, and we are not on here 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We do not target anyone or give exceptions to this rule. We just simply have not seen the post yet to remove it per rule 10 and will be remove it as well. So we ask members to help us enforce the rules by reporting infractions as it helps use to remove posts quicker.

We also ask that if you have not read any of the rules, please do so to make sure your post doesn't get taken down.

Lastly, thanks to all who have joined the Twitch_Startup discord and been a part of the discussion over there as the server has officially become a Discord Partner! Everyone can join as there are links in our description, tab at the top of the page, and here: https://discord.com/invite/twitchstartup

Thank you all for being a part of this subreddit!

Hello Everyone!

We recently have seen an influx of fake accounts and fake discords claiming to be Twitch_Startup. Please be aware that no mod will ask for your account or password information. We will not directly message you but instead use ModMail which is a standard form of communication on reddit between you and moderators of subreddits. Lastly, we may comment on your post and if it deals with subreddit related rulings or activities, we will flag our post as a mod related message showing our account in green text. If you ever wonder who the moderators are, you can view our subreddits main page and see in the moderators section which accounts are actually the mods.

Secondly, We have had a discord for a few years now. Do not be fooled by fake discords! You can find our like in the subreddit description, link at top of the subreddit, and here at https://discord.gg/twitchstartup

If you get any suspicious account trying to offer you things, claim they are a part of Twitch_Startup, or have created fake discords. Please feel free to report them via ModMail. We will work closely with Reddit and Discord to get them removed.
