Twitch and Live Streamers Editing and Proofreading Services

The rules panel says "Be respectful. No spam. No hate speech. Don't be a jerk." At two in the morning a moderator is deciding, in about four seconds, whether a message is a joke between friends or the beginning of something, with three hundred people watching and no guidance beyond a word that means whatever the reader wants it to mean.

We edit what streamers write for their channels — rules and moderation policies, moderator guidance and escalation procedures, subscriber and membership perk descriptions, panel and about text, sponsorship and disclosure copy, community guidelines for associated chat servers, and the statements made after an incident on stream. Our editors work on rules applied live by volunteers.

The channel rules and the moderator guidance behind them are what keep a chat usable, and their failure is a list of virtues with no decision procedure. A moderator cannot enforce "be respectful". We work through these so the rules name behaviours rather than qualities, since a moderator can identify a message and cannot identify disrespect; so each rule carries its consequence, given that a moderator hesitating between a warning and a ban is a moderator not moderating; so the escalation ladder is fixed — delete, timeout of a stated length, longer timeout, ban — with what moves somebody up it; so the borderline cases the channel actually gets are written out with the answer, because these are the ones that cost moderators sleep and they recur; so the things that are never tolerated are listed separately and carry an immediate ban with no discussion, as a moderator needs one category where no judgement is required; so the moderator's own authority is stated, including that the streamer will not overrule them publicly; so the appeal route is named and is not the chat; so the rules say what happens to the streamer's own friends, which is where most moderator resentment starts; and so the panel version is short with the full version linked. Rules written this way keep moderators for years.

Everything you send is treated in confidence, including moderation logs, incident records and community documents. We are editors rather than moderators, platform or safety advisers, and we offer no view on platform policy, moderation or any incident. What we can do is give a volunteer something to act on at 2am.
