"Not Yet."

Spread the story with an emphasis on the censorship part.
Censored by reddit.
doesn't sound like just wanting more information, wanting "pro-horror information" instead
You mean like if people were to start doing something like #REMOVE DRAGONA?To the first group: how do you think Evilore might respond if people began inserting #REMOVE NAME of an unpopular mod into their thread titles in this community?
Are we still blaming all of reddit for deleting those posts?
Well, that would be weird considering she retired.You mean like if people were to start doing something like #REMOVE DRAGONA?
the gaming subreddit mods and some twitch people, yes
The emoticon however was not a proper reason to call someone out. People just probably found the furry aspect of it as something to hate.
I'm sure most would be okay with Horror being given the same option.Well, that would be weird considering she retired.
You're missing an important detail. Horror has a history of removing other (inoffensive) emoticons for no reason, or at least that's what I gathered.
It sounds like you have some idea of past events that isn't accurate, but all right.I'm sure most would be okay if Horror were given the same option.
I'm only in my early 20s yet this thread somehow made me feel old.
Furry? Fursona? Emote? Wtf is this shit?
Twitch blew up into what it currently is now rather recently.
I think it's a classic case of growing pains. Horror was probably part of the team from the beginning of Justin.tv. When small projects with small teams get a huge market, the company culture has to be reevaluated at some point in terms of professionalism. Maybe that point is now.
No word from Twitch about what will be changing. Here's what some of the mods said in a Skype call with Abahbob: http://pastebin.com/reeimq94 (not really anything concrete.)
That's the distinction people need to be aware of. It's not reddit as a whole, just a bunch of subreddit mods.
Like I said, the streamers should've known you can't just go on calling out persons on your stream title and get away with it. You can't do it anywhere? Why not send emails to twitch about the case instead of being an immature dick about the matter? Because those streamers felt entitled that's why.
But while I have little sympathy for the streamers that acted part in the folly, it's not like I'm sympathetic towards this horror guy as mentioned before, he sounds like a child, a manbaby and probably deserves whatever is coming to him in his career because he voluntarily took part in the carnival of stupid.

Maybe so. I was under the impression that Dragona was dismissed as a mod once it was discovered that there was a misuse of position taking place, but I could be mistaken in this, and it's probably OT anyways.It sounds like you have some idea of past events that isn't accurate, but all right.

The fact that reddit is even set up in such a way that this can happen makes reddit look bad IMO. People should not be getting banned from reddit and their posts deleted for calling this out.
Well that needs to be fixed because it makes reddit seem like a shithole.Is it shitty? Absolutely, but the subreddit mods can do as they please when it comes to that kind of stuff.

well....
sounds like Amir0x
and seriously the use of the word "entitled" to describe others is almost always a red flag
I really hope the Streisand Effect bites Twitch in the ass hard. They deserve to be crucified for this.
If people realy want to get ridd of horror, they should just complain to Sony. Twitch is bigger part of Sony launch than microsoft and they have very big intrest not to get into pr nightmare.
What's "inappropriate" about having a furry emote? Did it show nudity or something...? There's no way I'm reading through this whole thread for all the details, lol.
This is pretty common practice on GAF. "Hey all, can someone answer this question I have so I don't have to read the 700+ previous posts? Thanks." Seems reasonable to me, lol.Then why post at all?
Here's a message from a Twitch admin to Abahbob who inquired about the bans:
Mainly the fact that it has nothing to do with anything relevant to Twitch, the channel it's for has very few viewers and was only added because it's a character by the guy an admin was going out with, while everyone else has a really hard time getting emotes in at all, and another streamer recently had his taken away.What's "inappropriate" about having a furry emote?

Twitch rise to popularity is rather sudden, so its not surprising that they cannot properly deal with this and are having problems.
They really need to be careful how they resolve this because Twitch.tv is visited by mostly hardcore gamers who *do* read reddit, GAF etc. These arent your casual Call of Duty crowd that goes there. And they will take their business elsewhere if this is not resolved properly.

Night Light is a fetish character designed solely for erotic purposes, several twitch users found this inappropriate content for a website designed for 12+ year olds.
Yeah, I guess I kind of get it, but not really. I'm not involved with that community at all, though, so I don't really know the significance of these things.Mainly the fact that it has nothing to do with anything relevant to Twitch, the channel it's for has very few viewers and was only added because it's a character by the guy an admin was going out with, while everyone else has a really hard time getting emotes in at all, and another streamer recently had his taken away.

This is probably the most internet thing I'm going to read about today.
A group of speedrunners has already been trying to get people to move to http://www.hitbox.tv because of the recent events.
