Some simple rules for making everyone's experience here nice and fun! The channel is moderated, by myself and a few others. 1 - Profanity allowed, within reason 2 - No slurs, or hate of any kind, the banhammer falls hard here. 3 - No Backseat gaming! If I need/want help from those watching I'll ask. 4 - No complaining that I'm not playing X game. If you want to watch a different game being played I'm sure someone is streaming it somewhere. 5 - Don't spam the channel with promos for your channel. Again 1 timeout, then you'll be banned 6 - Treat each other well in here. I want everyone to have fun and feel safe while watching me play. 7 - PC Master Race used in chat is an immediate ban. Questions? Comments? Whisper during streaming or message me.
