- Stream sniping
Watching someone's live stream to find and target them in the same game. Against the rules in most games — and a reason many streamers use a stream delay.

Flooding chat with repeated messages or emotes. Sometimes hype (emote walls during big moments), sometimes disruptive — mods and chat modes keep it in check.
