Making a video and posting it online

Talking to someone on camera over the internet

Live broadcasting of an event such as gameplay over the internet by ‘streamers’

Keeping your mic on full volume at all times

It doesn’t matter. You can do what you like online

Universally accepted norms of behaviour that streamers, viewers and their communities follow

A list of things you can and cannot say on streams or in chat

A waste of time, nobody takes any notice of them

The boundaries and guidelines that each platform expects their users to follow

They aren’t. You don’t have to follow the rules to have a good time

So you can get people banned if you don’t like their content

To ensure that the platform works perfectly for its community and users are protected from toxicity, and abuse

Start abusing them back, they deserve it

Ignore it and watch something else

Report it to the platform and let the moderators deal with it

Just mute the chat, it’s none of your business

It’s up to them to report it, not me

Don’t retaliate, report it to the platform

None. It’s just to have fun and keep producing content

To harass other streamers that they don’t like

To treat their audience with respect and recognise their position of influence

If you haven’t got at least a thousand subscribers in the first month

If people tell you your content is bad

Never, if you are enjoying it! Just keep creating good quality content that is fun and engaging, and your audience will grow organically

Just keep the content flowing, don’t worry about anything else

• Always have loud music playing in the background
• Shout a lot
• Make a point of saying who isn’t welcome in your community
• Give as good as you get when it comes to abuse

• Be respectful to your audience
• Keep your stream free from offensive content
• Use filtering tools to manage chat if available
• Engage positively with your audience

Just enjoy yourself, nobody is bothered by what you say or do

• ALWAYS USE CAPS LOCK SO YOUR COMMENTS GET NOTICED!
• Starting arguments with other users is a good way of keeping it interesting
• Don’t take any abuse, give it back straight away and keep on doing it until they give in
• Report people who disagree with you or that you don’t like

• Be civil to other users
• Avoid getting into arguments
• Don’t retaliate to trolling or abusive users
• Report any violations that concern or affect you to the platform
