Cuss words are allowed to an extend; they are permitted unless their context is sexist, racist, discriminative or offensive in any other way. Advertising should be penalized with a warning. If a person disdains the warning, a ban should be a consequence. Spamming follows the same rules as advertising. However, spam should be considered as nonsensical messages posted in rapid order. Messages that do not disturb the chat flow are considered fine, even if sent rapidly. I don't accept moderators unless I need them, which is not the current case. This should be told to the people who ask for it anyway. If he or she ignores this and continues to ask, feel free to warn, time out or ban the user according to the severity of the matter. Be kind to the users in the chat. Moderators should represent the friendliness the stream and chat is about. If you are able to answer a question of someone, please do. People who bypass their ban or time out in the means of going in the chat with another account should be banned immediately. Lurking is fine, you are not obliged to stick around for the entire stream. However, a quick glance at the chat is appreciated now and then. This is just for the sake of keeping the chat in line. Moderators get their status due to their devotion to the stream, so keep the devotion running as much as you can. The chat is chiefly English. Other languages can be used in the chat on short term. If you, for whatever reason, don't trust the context of the used language, feel free to check it out by translating it online to know what it is about. Excessive use of another language should be penalized with a quick warning..
