It’s important to have moderators and make sure the chat is not becoming a place for hate, disruptions, spam and requests. The chat is a fun place were you can talk with me and other viewers. The moderators have been doing this for a long time so please understand they’re managing a lot of chats coming in and have to make decisions quickly. How you react determines the path they take.

Thanks for understanding. For 99.99% of people, there is never an issue. So when one occurs, it’s rarely the moderators fault. I’m not the judge and jury. I must trust the people moderating and any problems are discussed and we work at it, always trying to improve and make the chat a fun place for anyone to talk about Japan.
