While shroud was playing Apex Legends last night, one of his subscribers wrote that the streamer made incredible scrambled eggs and told him to relieve himself right there after he said \u201cI need to piss so bad.\u201d These two messages came a few seconds apart from each other, which prompted the streamer to call out his subscriber live and say why he doesn\u2019t want spammy and random comments like this. \u201cHe just slaps his keyboard and doesn\u2019t think about what he\u2019s saying,\u201d shroud said about the subscriber. He said it\u2019s not that the comments had anything offensive or wrong about them, but that they were just spammy and had no reason to be there. \u201cIt was like an IcePoseidon viewer, or xQc, Greek,\u201d shroud said. \u201cI don\u2019t want this kind of people in my community.\" Other people in shroud\u2019s chat thought he was criticizing these streamers, but shroud said there were no shots fired. \u201cThat has nothing to do with the person,\u201d he said, as a mention to the streamers. \u201cI\u2019m just referring to the community. It\u2019s their choice that they don\u2019t want to moderate. I\u2019m not saying there\u2019s anything wrong with that.\u201d Related: Shroud receives plaque for his accomplishments on Twitch from StreamElements During broadcasts of streamers like those shroud mentioned, it\u2019s common to see people spamming emotes and copy-pasted messages. The chat becomes flooded with random text and no one gets banned or suspended since streamers disable automatic chat moderation. This is usually something streamers choose\u2014to give their viewers the freedom to say whatever they want. But this can turn the chat both into a loyal, highly-engaged community and a toxic environment. Shroud\u2019s chat has both automatic and real moderators. With his current point of view regarding chat behavior, players can expect his community to be spam-free and less random than other streamers\u2019 chats.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130309"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/858"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130309\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130309"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=130309"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=130309"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=130309"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=130309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Superstar Twitch streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek doesn\u2019t want people in his chat talking about scrambled eggs and urinating on a chair.<\/p>

While shroud was playing Apex Legends<\/em> last night, one of his subscribers wrote that the streamer made incredible scrambled eggs and told him to relieve himself right there after he said \u201cI need to piss so bad.\u201d These two messages came a few seconds apart from each other, which prompted the streamer to call out his subscriber live and say why he doesn\u2019t want spammy and random comments like this.<\/p>

\u201cHe just slaps his keyboard and doesn\u2019t think about what he\u2019s saying,\u201d shroud said about the subscriber. He said it\u2019s not that the comments had anything offensive or wrong about them, but that they were just spammy and had no reason to be there. \u201cIt was like an IcePoseidon viewer, or xQc, Greek,\u201d shroud said. \u201cI don\u2019t want this kind of people in my community.”<\/p>

Other people in shroud\u2019s chat thought he was criticizing these streamers, but shroud said there were no shots fired<\/a>. \u201cThat has nothing to do with the person,\u201d he said, as a mention to the streamers. \u201cI\u2019m just referring to the community. It\u2019s their choice that they don\u2019t want to moderate. I\u2019m not saying there\u2019s anything wrong with that.\u201d

The chat becomes flooded with random text and no one gets banned or suspended since streamers disable automatic chat moderation. This is usually something streamers choose\u2014to give their viewers the freedom to say whatever they want. But this can turn the chat both into a loyal, highly-engaged community and a toxic environment.
