'm not very computer savvy, and I'm sure there is a lot that goes into resolving the topic I'm about to bring up. I've recently became an Affiliate and am slowly growing my community, however its becoming more and more difficult to do so when you're constantly being spammed with "hoss" follows. This has been going on for a few months now. I would have one or two per stream, they'd be quickly reported and banned. However, as time has gone on they've become more and more frequent. They've gotten so bad that I had to shut a stream down because I was spammed with 40 "hoss" follows in a row, seconds apart, not to mention the 4 I had prior to those in the same stream. I honestly don't know what to suggest here. Like I said, I'm not very computer savvy, steps may already be in the process of being taken to resolve this. This was more or less an attempt to bring light to the situation, and a call for help on my part, because I don't know what I'm supposed to do in this situation. It becomes almost impossible to stream due to these follow spams, and it's not fair to the viewers that come into any channel and have to be subjected to that annoyance. I went through, reported and blocked all 44 of those spam follows, but it seems like it does no good, a new one pops up in its place. More then anything I'm looking for support, information or help on this issue. I'm still learning the ins and outs of the streaming world and would love to grow with it. But this, just sucks all of the life out of it.
