Guide How to Post a Livestream + Rules (TOURNAMENT LIVESTREAMS DO NOT GO HERE!)

[Isatis]

This forum serves as a public hub for posting any Melee-related livestreams, like smashfests, friendlies, casual matches, or any Melee related stuff in general. (The only exception is for tournaments, which the Tournament Organizer can specify in his event in his/her thread in Tournament Listings.)

When you make a new thread, you will be asked what date & time your stream is starting and ending. When this period comes, it will put your stream on top of the page for everyone to see! The only problem for now is that, due to server constraints, we can't determine what's live right now or offline... so for now, we're leaving that up to you.

The only rules:

• There will be one thread per stream. To edit your thread to update the stream schedule, just go to the dropdown on the bottom right of the first post and hit "Edit Event".
• The livestream you post must be your own stream, and nobody else's.
• Your stream must be for Smash-related events of any kind, as specified above.
• Do not abuse the forum. This includes spamming, specifying bad dates (doing something like 1/1/2012 to 12/31/2037), etc. Any abuse will lead to not only a roomban but possibly a forum ban as well.

Pretty soon we will be able to integrate this with Twitter and post any streams scheduled directly there too. Enjoy!

Awesome, thanks dude!!!

Nice job! When someone brought it up and your request had been delayed for so long you got right on it.

I think a sticky with regular streams is a good idea too, depending on how many interesting, regular streams there are.

 

[ranmaru]

I agree. I would think like a top tournament stream, and some top favorite players streams. (Or just recommended streams)

 

[Teczer0]

If I find that a stream is on a fairly regular schedule and people like it I have no issues with that.

 

[JCaesar]

Would this be a good place for Project M livestreams?

 

[ranmaru]

Hmm dunno. Depends if people think it's legit enough for people that aren't really smashers to see. (since it's like a hack or something)

Hacked games are not to be streamed on the main page.

This is an awesome opportunity! I have no way of showing my gratitude besides making Melee TV the best livestream melee solution possible!

Thank you

Why can't you post other peoples' streams?

You should suggest a general format to maximize efficiency for people searching for streams. Something like:

Live -- Date -- State -- Name -- Featured Smashers

Ex.
ON -- 1/28/12 -- MD -- College Park Smashfest -- Azen, Chillin
OFF -- 2/1/12 -- VA -- Sypher Smashfest -- Cyrain, Tope

Melee should be 309 and Brawl should be 310.

Mostly because, let's say someone breaks the rules (like, starts streaming Smash then starts streaming inappropriate stuff... has happened before LOL) and cannot post their livestream on Smashboards... they then decide to get their friends to. This effectively bars it.

Okay. I can't detect when it's on/off for now but I can do it by date/time. Otherwise I'll edit the format to that.

Melee should be 309 and Brawl should be 310.

I'll make Melee -309 and Brawl -310 instead. Best of both worlds

Is there a certain format i should post the time and date of streaming to make sure the information gets recognized?

 

[P D]

cant 64 smash get on some of this action?

it is the easiest smash to stream + malva streams a lot. :s

 

[zZz]

Looking forward to the stream scheduling to begin.

 

[Spyro]

I'm just curious, can you stream game on the main page if they just have the game textures changed and nothing else, or would that be considered breaking the rules?

 

[SOLAR]

There should definitely be more specific dates and times in the forum titles of each post. You should put this in the rules.
