Helping hosts reduce harassment as BoloUp agents is essential for creating safe streaming environments where hosts can thrive. Harassment not only affects a host’s mental well-being but can also damage their channel’s growth and viewer retention. As an agent, your proactive approach to harassment prevention demonstrates your commitment to your hosts’ success and safety.
Implement Comprehensive Moderation Systems
First, work with hosts to set up robust chat moderation using BoloUp’s built-in tools. This includes automated word filters that block offensive language and systems for timing out or banning repeat offenders. Additionally, help hosts recruit and train trusted viewers as moderators to assist with real-time chat management during streams.
Develop Clear Community Guidelines
Next, create specific, easy-to-understand rules for each host’s channel that clearly outline prohibited behaviors. These guidelines should address issues like hate speech, bullying, and personal attacks. For example, display these rules prominently in stream descriptions and encourage hosts to review them periodically with their audience.

Train Hosts in De-escalation Techniques
Prepare hosts with strategies to handle harassment calmly and professionally. Role-play common scenarios where they practice acknowledging concerns without engaging in arguments. Teach them to use phrases like “Let’s keep the chat respectful” before resorting to timeouts or bans.
Establish Emergency Response Protocols
Create clear procedures for handling severe harassment situations, including when to pause streaming, how to document incidents, and when to escalate issues to platform support. Moreover, ensure hosts know how to access immediate assistance during streams and have backup communication channels for urgent situations.
Promote Positive Community Culture
Lastly, help hosts foster environments where viewers naturally discourage negative behavior. Encourage regular recognition of positive contributors and consider implementing community-building activities that reinforce respectful interaction. In general, a strong, self-policing community is one of the most effective deterrents to harassment.
