Why don't you just ask me?
Slow mode or sub mode?
Slow mode stayed on for a varied amount of time. Sub mode was on based on request by the broadcaster who was tired of ascii art faces and other copypastes.
Stream viewers need to understand that there are people that aren't just stream monsters watching each stream. There are sponsors and casual viewers as well. When chat becomes a cesspool it detracts those groups from wishing to participate in future events. Another thing is that stream monsters seem to think chat belongs to them and that they're entitled to say whatever they wish because "hype." This is actually not true. Many broadcasters have their own rules and unfortunately very few mods actually enforce said rules. That's why I'm mod of so many channels, because I actually do what I'm asked.
I'm not trying to be a massive dick here, although I do enjoy poking the bear from time to time. But there are rules in place that are very simple and its not my fault that the majority cannot handle simple instructions. As long as you're following the rules, there's no problems. However when the issue becomes and epidemic, extreme measures must be in place.
