Annoying fans

Dang. Gotta set them straight before they try to take advantage. If that doesn't work, there's always the block button there for us.

Honestly, I don't have any fans messaging me at all. The only time I have had people repeatedly try to get my attention is when they are calling me fat, ugly, or something along those lines. But I don't care! I'm having fun so that's all that matters.

You're not fat and ugly one little bit! don't listen to these people at all, seriously.[DOUBLEPOST=1474744520,1474744275][/DOUBLEPOST]Well firstly, I would block them straight away if possible, and concentrate on your content, that's what matters. Secondly, your marshmellow video made me think I'd put one of my videos on, seeing as the song is in my intro lol. But honestly, just block these fools

Ignore mode on, that is the only thing you can do. You will run into those terminal crazies sometimes. All you can do is ignore them and eventually they will go away. And if they don't and still comment on every video, hey, you're getting views! Win-Win!

Tell them to subscribe to me instead! >_< I'd genuinely welcome the attention, they sound passionate!

So I have all of these messages on my facebook page that I made for my viewers to receive updates. And way I have been receiving messages from people;
- Demanding my phone number
- Demanding I text them
- Telling me I am their "qween"
- Spamming me with hundreds of hearts
- Spamming me when I don't respond
- Asking me for my person facebook
- Asking me if we can meet
- Marriage proposals
- Getting angry if I don't respond.

I have one message and only one message where this hasn't happened. The rest is filled with this stuff. How do you guys deal with fans like this? Do you respond? Do you not? Is this normal?

I'm so sorry you have to deal with that kind of treatment! I get similar messages, but on my actual personal Facebook account.
For the fans who are getting ridiculous, you can ban them from your page if you deem it necessary - although give them a written warning before you do. It looks better on you and you'd be amazed at how many people have literally no idea how creepy and/or aggressive they're coming across.

You're not under any obligation to reply to these people - but if it does start to wear on your conscience a little, I'd recommend posting a status update thanking people for their support, but due to the volume of messages you've been receiving, you can't reply to all of them.

This doesn't make you a bad person and some will take the hint - others, not so much. That's just the way people are gonna be, annoyingly! I can't imagine the biggest YouTubers have time to wade through all the messages they receive on Facebook, so you're not alone.

Oh! Another thing I neglected to mention - I don't know if this applies to every type of Facebook page or just business-oriented ones, but there should be an option somewhere to include a default reply that all your messengers will receive the moment they try to contact you.
It could be than that you thank them for taking the time to message you, but due to the sheer volume of messages you've been receiving, you might not be able to reply.

Honestly, I had a fan like this on my gaming channel (more a troll than anything). Just blocked him on everything because stuff was getting creepy. Solved the issue.
