    Clear this option to prevent new Tweets from being added to this topic.
    Broadcast Count

    Specifies the default number of Tweets a player, such as BLADE, will take from the Approved Tweet queue at a time for broadcast output. Once those Tweets are output, the player retrieves the same number of default Tweets, when available, for output.
     
    By default, this value is 20. So, a BLADE request would take 20 Tweets from the Approved queue for a broadcast at one time. Once those 20 Tweets have been output, BLADE returns for 20 more Tweets for output. If you want a player to return to the Approved queue sooner for content, set this value to a lower number.

    Info

    Note: If you are manually moderating Tweet content, and have not approved new Tweets, the next broadcast output loop will not include new Tweet content.
