If you’re a Twitch streamer, then you’ve probably seen the modcheck emote. But what does it mean? And how do you use it? In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about the modcheck emote!
Modcheck Meaning
ModCheck is an animated emote of a fish from the TV show SpongeBob SquarePants turning around and looking over his shoulders.
This character usually exchanges words with those around him, but when there are no mods in chat or they’re not doing their job properly to moderate it this will replace “who asked?” and “where did u go?”
Where Did The ModCheck Emote Originate?
The modcheck emote was created by a Twitch user named “VerbalSilence.”
The word “modcheck” is a play on the phrase “mic check.” When Ross first started using the emote, it was simply meant to be a way for him to test if his microphone was working. However, over time, the emote has come to mean much more than that.
These days, the modcheck emote is often used as a way to tell a streamer that their chat is getting out of control. When a streamer sees the modcheck emote in their chat, they know that it’s time to take a break and check on their mods.
Usage Of The ModCheck Emote:
Now that we know where the modcheck emote came from, let’s talk about how to use it.
If you’re a viewer in a Twitch chat, and you see things getting out of hand, you can type “modcheck” into the chat. This will send an alert to the streamer, telling them that they need to take a break and check on their mods.
If you’re a streamer, and you see the modcheck emote in your chat, take a few minutes to thank your viewers for their help.
