Spam - Links

[Westcott]

This has become a real epidemic of late and an annoying one at that. Moreover, if the spammer is a Twitch user, channel's have no way to report them, no way that I am aware of, at least. If Twitch users can come into Jtv channels and enjoy those benefits with impunity, then there seems to be a real fly in the ointment.

You can reports Twitch users by going to their channel page (twitch.tv/username) or their video page (twitch.tv/username/videos) if they do not have a channel and click the gear icon and then report.

Yes, I've tried that many times but after clicking on the person's name and being redirected to their home page, Twitch is asking that I sign in. And, neither me nor the other mods are Twitch users. Is this a glitch? Or do we sign in with our jtv accounts. Never have been able to understand that since I am already signed it at jtv. Thanks for your response however, I am still in the dark as to how to report Twitch users who spam.

Your Justin.tv login credentials work on Twitch.

Okay! Had no idea since the first thing I was encountering after clicking "report" was that request to sign in. So now I know and thanks so much.

Before the big Update you could go to Twitch.tv and still be logged in with your JTV account, now you have to login when you go to Twitch now.
