The Wannabes auto hosting discussion
bananaguy12mhc:
I don't think you should remove the inactive members... What's even the point of that. Why don't people just streaming when they want to. And this auto-hosting thing, what if you host someone you do not want to host. I don't think people feel bad if they do not have viewers. I don't know if you think people should be more skilled to join the team now... It is really easy to get into this team, so I guess you have a good idea. Also why does English have to be the language, because many fangamers do not speak English. That does not make sense to me. I don't like follower alerts either but I think people should use it if they want. Also, I think in a different thread you said that people can't read chat list, but I don't see why they can't read chat list. Calling out lurkers is annoying but I think it should be allowed... Also about "stream quality," what is wrong with the quality. Are you talking about that flashing Wolsk played when he got follows? I don't think any streams are unwatchable so I don't know why you bring that up...
Anyways, I think this team is pointless. No one uses this team, they just use the IWBTG page unless streamers are not playing IWBTG. I don't think being in the team makes you cool like you said...

The twitch team is for people who actually stream on a regular basis, bananaguy. Just because you aren't on the wannabes doesn't mean you aren't part of the community. We want to boot the inactive members because there is no purpose for them to be there.

I don't know why you say that thing about me being in the community or not. I thought the twitch team is just for people who play fangames.

It's kinda for mainly fangamers. if you stream at a high quality and want to promote the community then you meet the goals of the twitch team.

I have a few questions and comments about the content in the original post.
--- Quote from: Denferok on September 28, 2016, 09:35:53 AM ---The reason why I think we should do this is because once again this will significantly strengthen our brand and provide more of a reason to actually care about the twitch team. I'll be honest, right now the team feels rather meaningless, it's just there to show people that you're "hot stuff" or something.

What do we want the brand "The Wannabes" to be? :cirPrise: I think it's great if we want to improve something, but what is it we're working towards? Similar to what BBF_ mentioned earlier, I think we could either make the Wannabes an open community of everyone who streams fangames or an elite membership for only a select few.
Up until now I think people have joined to build/be a part of a community as well as to benefit from gaining exposure. I think it creates a really fun and diverse Twitch community at the moment, but if we want the team to have a more specific purpose than that, I would like to know what that is.
--- Quote from: Denferok on September 28, 2016, 09:35:53 AM ---Since this will increase the value of being in the team, I think we'll also have to make the team requirements more strict and overall require more professional attitude.

Before getting to the other requirements, I'm curious about the team requiring a "more professional attitude". I've read through the discussion so far but haven't seen this brought up again. I would like to hear Den's thoughts on this, and discuss it from there.
--- Quote from: Denferok on September 28, 2016, 09:35:53 AM --- Here are a few suggestions:
- Removal of inactive members (basically those who no longer exist within the community)
- Those who come back would not need to reapply and are able to rejoin instantly
- Make the whole "watchable stream" rule more strict
- Spend more time deciding whether the person in question is suitable to join (a small group of community managers would be great)
- Require english to be the broadcaster language (I.E the setting in your twitch dashboard, multiple language streams are still fine)
- Heavily discourage the use of follower alerts
- Heavily encourage all members of the team to use the autohosting

When I initially read this post the other day, these suggestions were much more vague and I wasn't so sure about them. At the moment, these look pretty good. Changing some of these things from requirements to strong recommendations is a great move, and leaving an open door for inactive members to return is fair.
As a current member of the team, I plan on activating autohosting to help out other team members once any bugs/issues are worked out (hosting seems all messed up for me lately). I'm all for strengthening the team, but I think it'd be interesting to know what exactly we want to accomplish.
