Moderators can remove them right?
@shraddhasingh you can remove them, I think as they are irrelevant.

You canât force people to do that. If someone wants to post a recipe for homemade mayonnaise 
during an episode of The Devil Judge, why not? Whatâs stopping them?
Personally, I donât like them. So Viki was kind enough to add a toggle that removes them entirely should you want that, while allowing everyone else to post away. I think itâs the best of compromises.
Viki did an awesome job. And now, itâs up to each and every one of us to be nice and respectful. But again, you canât be the boss of anyone. Free Speech as long as itâs not offensive or illegal.

I think Free Speech is overrate. Sure people should have it as a basic right but it should not be totally unrestricted to the point where people can spout hate speech and there should be legislation to:
Summary
-
2 egg yolks
-
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
-
250ml sunflower oil
-
2 tsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice
-
STEP 1
Tip the egg yolks and mustard into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk together until completely combined. Whisking constantly, add a small drop of oil and whisk until completely combined, then add another drop and continue a drop at a time until the yolks and oil combine and start to thicken. Once youâre confident the oil and eggs are coming together you can add the oil a bit more at a time, but be patient, as adding the oil too quickly will cause the mayonnaise to split and curdle.
- STEP 2
Once all the oil has been whisked into the eggs and you have a thick, spoonable mayonnaise, whisk in the vinegar or lemon juice and season to taste. *Will keep in the fridge for two days.
See how annoying it is when itâs irrelevant?

I side with @kaorikazehaya that the TC should be about the video people are watching.

For those of us who find the TC very useful and entertaining, the irrelevant comments are an absolute
annoyance, driving some people to want TC gone altogether.
Who is reading this post in 2021???
There have been times when Iâve lost track of a drama or there were no T/N: notes, where TC proved invaluable. âWait? General Sun-Gung has returned from battle? Who? What battle?â
I usually turn TC off so I can concentrate on the drama and the subtitles. When I was watching Doom at your service and turned on TC at a scene where God was in the body of the girl in the hospital and the comments were âDora the destroyerâ I was languishing my head off because she did look like Dora the explorer, what with the actressâ height, build and the haircut she had.

As you have said yourself, you donât particularly like TC, but for those of us who do, itâs the irrelevant comments that are the annoyance.
legendas em portugues por favor 
Itâs all very well to advocate the freedom to do whatever they want, but look at what they do with it. Theyâre like people who graffiti the very environment which they live in, leaving it up to volunteers to clean up after them to make the place a bit bearable.
Yeah, sure
but it takes so little effort to to fulfill
in TC, yet it seems they canât be bothered to engage even the lowest gear in their brain to do so.

Probably, Viki TCs gave her the name Dora. Once someone said that in an early episode, rest of the TCs followed up with different funny stories about Dora.
TCs are also very helpful when I see a familiar face in an episode but canât recall where Iâve seen them. TCs butt in with there âOhhhh, Mama! Court Lady Choi!â. So, Iâve somewhat a love hate relationship with TCs.

The very first are the people who mark their attendace in TCs.

Ha Ha, I do that a lot, often jumping out to Cast and looking up which drama theyâve been in just to satisfy the itch.

And every actor that comes on screen looks exactly like some BTS member 
sometimes I get so annoyed because some people seem to skip the entire episode and then come asking dumb questions⊠Iâm the type of person who canât sit still watching such things, so I pause and take the time to give answers 
This is why I love the TCs Iâve had no end of fun with those. I love it when someone starts such funny trends in the TCs and everyone goes along with it⊠There was a drama where everyone kept betting on who the criminal was, with the money soaring and people mocking and teasing those who âlostâ money. And one where the entire TCs were filled with the most greatest, most elaborate torture method ever invented by human minds because the main characters were too stupid to find the villain. And Iâm Not A Robot had me dying of laughter because either the drama was being hilarious or the TCs were.
However, it sometimes kills the mood⊠Iâd be sobbing about a sad scene and happily drowning in my tears⊠and then some weirdo points out something very funny about the characters and I canât help but switch to laughing even though Iâm thoroughly annoyed that person interrupted my weep fest.
But theyâre also helpful when some written thing hasnât been translated⊠there are helpful people who translate it in the TCs.
So yes, like @shraddhasingh, I have a hate-love relationship with the TCs. I just switch it on when I want and switch ot off when it gets annoying, then switch it on again because I love them.

I like TC and miss them when watching on a different channel.
- I ignore stupid comments like crying for subs, swearing and some alien charactersâŠ
- I enjoy seeing when folks comment from what state or country they areâŠ
- I read comments that are story related guessing next step or suspecting a person or act
- I enjoy comments that explain historical facts
- I relate to comments when a scene is really stupid that someone just writes out
So overall it just adds more to entertainment, especially during covid times, where you canât participate socially or have to show always a certificate although the vaccine/Prophylaxe isnât protecting you from getting infected⊠

I often turn on TC just to see the type of comments around a sad scene just to gauge how well they produced the scene. The more âIâm crying right nowâ (or the occasional âthose Ninjas are cutting onions againâ which amuses me no end) with obligatory 
or 
and the odd âI didnât cryâ
Contrast this with some period/wuxia C-dramas which for some reason likes to kill off significant characters, maybe for emotional clout, who knows 
is often met with a barrage of âWTF! Kill the writer! 
â âDid they just kill the second lead?â rather than the usual crying comments. Oh dear, not quite the reaction they were expecting?

Itâs for anyone else in the future who feels the urge to do the same things and ask the same questions again.
wuxia dramas love doing stuff like that⊠Iâm glad for the Law of Kdrama Writer Mercy which most kdrama writers adhere to. Chinese historical dramas, on the other hand, LOVE the surprise involved in killing the best characters, because theyâve already exposed the entire plot in the theme song anyway. They have nothing to lose
I find it amusing that people want to tell the world that they didnât cry âNo, I didnât cry. I am strong. I am not impressed easily.â

Itâs actually in the Timed Comments Policy to keep it relevant to the show. So if a moderator goes in to clean up the TCs, that recipe, mentioning the actress looks like whichever BTS member, where youâre watching from, dozens of emojis, etc. are all subject to removal
- When posting Timed Comments, please keep them related to the show or scene. Any technical feedback, subtitle availability and/or quality comments are subject to removal.
Thereâs also a rule about spoilers in the general Viki Comment Policy, but no one ever does it, so except in something like Hwarang where itâs every 5 minutes (ok, that might be an exaggeration) when I see them I add a comment over top.
- Always add âSPOILERâ in all caps at the beginning of your comment or timed comment as a warning
