StreamRated

Write about what watching the channel is like.

That is the whole job, and it is why anyone trusts this site.

Review the viewing experience

  • Ad load and how sponsor reads are handled
  • Whether chat is welcoming or hostile
  • Whether the schedule actually holds up
  • Production quality and audio
  • How the streamer treats the people watching

Not the person

  • Their appearance, private life or relationships
  • Opinions unrelated to streaming
  • Accusations of crimes or abuse, even hinted
  • Real names, addresses, workplaces, family
  • Slurs, threats, pile-ons

The rules

Your own experience
Streams you watched yourself. Not a clip, a video essay or a forum thread. We ask how you watched, and it shows on your review.
One review per channel
Edit yours rather than posting again. Do not paste the same text on several channels or copy someone else’s.
Not your own channel
Do not review a channel you own, moderate or manage. Streamers reply from a claimed profile instead.
No organising
No groups rating a channel up or down. Unusual bursts are held for a person to read.
No links or promotion
Links are stripped automatically. Advertising, referral links and self-promotion are removed.
Crimes go to the police
A star rating is not the place to try someone. Reports of that kind are removed whether or not we can judge them.

What happens next

  1. 01

    A person reads it

    Every review is checked against these rules before it appears, usually within 24 hours. A rejected review is shown to you only, on the channel page.

  2. 02

    Streamers can reply, not remove

    A claimed profile gets one public reply per review. Nobody can delete, hide or reorder reviews, and neither can we for money.

  3. 03

    Breaking the rules costs the account

    Flag a review that breaks them. Three flags from different accounts hide a pending review until a moderator reads it. Repeat offenders lose their account.

Unlawful content, rather than merely against the rules, goes through the complaints process, which a person answers within seven days.
