Hey @ADVANCEDgg , dealing with this situation responsibly doesn't include removing negative reactions to your delaying this even further and immediately kicking people from your discord for daring to do so. At this point, just keep him. You've shown your true face as a company, a supporter of murderers and pedophiles. You've done irreparable damage to your brand reputation in this community and I hope this post is seen by anyone still considering supporting them. Whether you agree with them keeping or removing him, being sensitive to the point they remove negative discord reacts is insane behavior by a 'professional' company. I don't know about anyone else, but not only will I not promote them I will be unfollowing anyone I see still using their code or sharing their products. #advancedgg

❗️STREAMER ALERT: Twitch Partner @ZackingBall reports a security breach on @Twitch, forcing password resets. More details to follow.
zackingball@ZackingBall

Twitch had a security breach that forced a lot of accounts to reset their passwords. Afterwards, twitch tweeted out that there was nothing to be concerned about. Apparently there was lol. My payout information was changed, without my knowledge, to some random checking account that I don’t know. And I want to be transparent in that we really needed the money from this. I had $1,150 stolen from me from my December earnings and twitch is refusing to help. I don’t think I’m going to get this money back. Every single sub, gift sub, bit, and ad revenue that I earned by being an entertainer was stolen from me AND my community who chose to support me. And I don’t expect anything more from my amazing community, but what I will say is that if Twitch is not going to rectify this, then I will no longer actively encourage subs or bits, where twitch takes a huge cut. Going forward, I will probably push for direct tips/donos because 96% of that money goes directly to the creators. Sorry about the rant, but this came at a time when morale was already low for me and I’m also pissed on behalf of my community who chose to support ME, and not the multi million dollar corporation. Sorry to eBeg, but I will repeat that if anyone is able to help or support in any way then here is a link to donate, as we try to escape to Puerto Rico and flee from the looming threat of ICE in the US. Thank you streamelements.com/zackingball/tip Here was the response that Twitch gave me:

@RainyRentyn describes some red flags when collabing with other streamers. Read more below.
Rainy ✦ Magical Girl 🌧️✨@RainyRentyn

🚩 Stream Collab Red Flags 🚩 ✦ Constantly talks over everyone else without apologizing or recognizing ✦ Is bad at sharing the spotlight with other creators ✦ Has a problem during or after the collab, but instead of directly communicating with everyone else they choose to post about it vaguely on social media to cause a stir & gain pity ✦ Makes a scene & leaves the collab without explanation, leaving everyone else in an awkward situation & viewers confused ✦ Gets upset & throws a tantrum when someone else in the collab is given support (Gifted subs, throne gifts, food, kind messages, etc) ✦ Is constantly talking via, open mic, to their chat without muting or ignoring the people in the collab in favor of their chat etc. ✦ Making jokes or comments that someone else in the collab has explained makes them uncomfortable, but they keep doing it anyway You'd think a lot of these would be common sense not to do but some people really are in their "I'm the main character" Arc. I've had all of these happen to me at some point during my 5.5 years as a streamer & it's why I'm more wary about who I choose to collab with, especially if they are someone I haven't had the chance to get to know yet. I personally like to be a courteous & active member of any collab I'm in, but some people are not like that. When you are asked to be a part of something, try to be a good collaborator! It will lead to you being asked to join more in the future! ✨

❗PSA and heads up for Femme presenting streamers❗- There is a small streamer who is targeting us and our communities for growth by offline raiding us and farming our shoutouts. They do not appear to have a X handle so I cannot tag them. (SORRY FOR THE LONG READ AHEAD) They are a streamer by the name of "GhostWolfiex187" and after streaming for a few hours at one point during their day, they then proceed to spend the next few hours offline raiding streamer after streamer, after streamer. I saw this "GhostWolfiex187" raid into my good friend @Adrehh_TTV's stream while I was lurking, and read their raid message. I checked "GhostWolfiex187" Twitch page and saw that they haven't just ended stream, but in-fact had offline raided. 20 mins later Adrehh raided into me. 40 minutes after Adrehh raided into me, "GhostWolfiex187" raided into me with no viewers and with the exact same raid message they had posted in Adrehh's chat. I clicked their profile, and again they hadn't been live. I called them out for offline raiding and that I'd seen them raid elsewhere before coming into my stream, then banned them. "GhostWolfiex187" then proceeded to join my discord and go off in General chat, and "threaten" to raid my friends. My mods and I kept an eye on their Twitch profile, especially seeing as they got 2 of us within an hour, and what would you know, for the next 2 hours "GhostWolfiex187" proceeded to offline raid over a dozen female streamers, posting nearly identical raid messages every time. "GhostWolfiex187" would get called out by us and then more streamers who he's raided into over the night, and would in turn get aggressive and make threats, the messages always nearly identical in each chat. This escalated to invasion of Discord servers, wherein which further threats were made before being removed. "GhostWolfiex187" has since done this 3 days in a row (since they raided into us, potentially before that but we don't know), and every single raid has been female presenting streamers, of all sizes, even raiding into another friend of mines @Elixarya's stream yesterday in between dozens of other streamers. There are so many ways to build a genuine streaming community, but for fucks sake, this is NOT it. 🤦‍♀️
