Kick finally adds report button to channels as criticism over moderation continues Kick\/Unsplash\/joshuakettleKick has finally added a report button after months of controversial content on the platform and concerns over a lack of moderation on the Twitch rival. All streamers, and particularly those who take their broadcasts beyond the limits of community guidelines, will now be reportable on Kick thanks to a recent change that finally adds the functionality to report channels. Since its launch, Kick has been no stranger to controversy with many streamers banned on other platforms moving to the new site to start anew, and the drama has been constant with multiple streamers\u2019 antics even leading to arrests. After Ice Poseidon had a \u201ccreepy\u201d encounter with a sex worker in Australia and Johnny Somali was arrested for trespassing after a series of controversial broadcasts in Japan, Kick has added a report button and revealed plans for improved functionality. Kick adds report button after multiple controversial streams On October 6, Kick updated its community guidelines, stating that it added a report button because the platform prioritizes safety for all of its members. \u201cThis feature empowers you to actively contribute to maintaining Kick\u2019s secure and respectful environment by reporting any behavior that violates policy or compromises user safety,\u201d Kick said. \u201cIf you encounter a user engaging in harassment, hate speech, or other conduct that goes against our community guidelines, please don\u2019t hesitate to use the \u2018Report\u2019 button.\u201d However, Kick reiterated that its platform can get \u201crowdy\u201d and warned users that the site may not be for everyone if they expect a tame experience. \u201cIf you insist on having total control over your environment at all times, you will likely have a tough time on Kick. We believe in fostering an environment where everyone can freely express themselves while respecting others. We\u2019re committed to ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all, and we value your input in this journey together.\u201d On X, formerly known as Twitter, Kick reiterated its commitment to addressing reports of streams that violate its community guidelines. Thanks for all of your feedback \ud83d\ude4c \u2014 Kick Support (@KickSupport) October 16, 2023 The report functionality will become more advanced as we build the platform further For now, if you believe context has been missed, email support@kick.com with necessary timestamps or clips Additionally, Kick revealed that it\u2019s not finished with its report system, stating that the report functionality will become \u201cmore advanced\u201d as the platform grows. We\u2019ll have to see if these changes make a significant impact on the types of content we see on Kick as the streaming wars wage on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
