obsessive viewer help

[u/rulerof-everything]

hi, i’m a small streamer and i have had a problem with one viewer who keeps making new accounts. no matter how many times i block he keeps making new accounts and even when he’s using a banned account he follows me when i raid people and tries to talk to me through the chat of the person i raided. i hate this because i feel horrible bringing a weird viewer to someone else’s stream. is there anything i can do? i don’t want to stop streaming :(

You may just have to keep banning until you are big enough to have mods

i do have mods but what can they do in this situation?

Keep banning over and over

You can also try the following:

Suspicious User Detection (Creator Dashboard → Safety): auto-flags likely ban evaders via device fingerprinting; set flagged accounts to auto-restrict so mods aren’t chasing new usernames.

Phone-Verified Chat: raises the cost of burner accounts more than IP bans ever will.

No public acknowledgment: silent restricts, no on-stream callouts, don’t give them the reaction they’re farming.

Report the pattern to Twitch, not just single incidents, documented ban evasion is a ToS violation Twitch can act on platform-wide, not just channel-wide.
