also I think the idea of an uninformed spec is
really weird?
I can get behind that
Barring champs I agree
Always public spec chat is fine cuz spectators could discuss outside of the thread as well.
Mafia chat is potentially private because the players have not the choice of talking outside the scumchat (game-related).
I think the number of hosts who would care if you dm a scummate about something personal is almost 0
in all honesty, if spec chats are forcedly going to become public, players might (and I might) just start making unofficial DMs that also discuss the game. Nobody would sub still but forced publicity in a non-game-related thread is, imo, not the best policy.
And if there is a no uninformed Spec chat, they might as well stay around as potential back ups
Okay fair
Sometimes spec chat was completely pointless cuz almost noone talked ever.
I see no reason to publicize that lul
like
we have backups as a way to be part of the game without actually being a part of it
What are you afraid of
If gossip is that important to you then honestly thatās something you need to look at fixing
Like this is very simple
Either
-
Follow along on your own with potential to be a backup
-
Join a spec chat that will be made public
Easy option, you can choose which matters more to you
With a 24h redaction period
No issues
Solution C:
Create a private DM with all spectators, so you can talk without having to worry about public
Solution D
Donāt circumvent regulations just to trash talk people
gamer solution: no uninformed spectators
Often times even entirely game-related critique of someoneās play can be unintentionally heated if some of the things they are doing is bad.
I see no reason for politeness and having to be like āx is being kind of not very nice!ā vs. āx is being a major douchebag seriously how can they be this immature itās clearly hurting everyone elseā
redaction period fixes this so i can get behind that idea 100% but forced non-redaction publicity is not a healthy environment for spec chats because a lot of the appeal is that you donāt have to watch what you say becuase itās a private chat with no bearing on the game
Itās not that hard to talk in a way you donāt need to hide ffs
You shouldnāt be using spec/scum chat to say things about people you wouldnāt be willimg to say to their face
yes
thatās what neighbourhood chats are for
gamer solution: no spectators, items off, final destination
