Oh boy where to start. When focusing on adding new features it is very important to look at all the negative possibilities! That’s how you determine if something should make it past stage one. Maybe using “freedom of speech” was an incorrect way of expressing the simple thing that you never want to change people’s words. It is very simple and again in a chat of > 10 chatters, doing this would result no reason and no one chatting as someone can just change what they say on a whim.
Languages are on a whole different level when it comes to you wanting to translate them.
- Translators are not 100% accurate and a simple spelling error can just ruin the sentence.
- Saying “alienating an entire group” is possible considering there would be no way to respond to them back in their language.
- It would instantly make every foreign message over a respectable 5 lines to include the original and the faulty translation.
- Unless the streamer is bilingual then there is again no way to respond to that language.
Also I have no clue how you intend that messages to be filtered in a way before even viewed. How can you determine was is a good message or bad message? Sure base it on a computer, what could go wrong?
I’m very open to ideas, don’t get me wrong, I’m just trying to give my thoughts on why I think it wouldn’t be a good system for Twitch chat. And your right things can be used for good and evil so you always have to look on the abuse side as well as the positives.
