Annoying fans

Cristy Ella said:
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've never had fans to that extent, but if it were like that I would address the issue with a video and never give it attention again. That way those fans will know not to do it and if they do they will be ignored. Spam on the other hand is something I occasionally deal with. All I really do is ignore it. Over time it will stop. Best of luck!
 
I've had people get on my case about not playing games right, but that fanbase of yours sounds rather toxic. I would turn of messages/comments if that is what you're receiving on the daily.
 
Being a man and therefore ugly and of no worth to anyone, it's never happened.

However you can choose to block certain countries if you feel that will help. Maybe you should try different style videos to get them to tune out
 
I have had a few similar comments, but not as many in a row like you have had. I'm not sure how Facebook works, but I would just block the awkward comments,people, or try to ignore them. If there is a way to report them, I'd report them. There are a lot of guys out there that say weird things, and my favorite button on YouTube is the "flag as Spam" button that hides the comment, and the newer "hide all of this user's comments" button. That button is AWESOME! : D

As long as they do not start to threaten you in a way that could harm you, I'd ignore the peanut gallery. ^^

I've moved this to the strategy/technique advice forum. ^^

All I will say is be safe, and make sure you hide your location details across all your accounts. The world is full of wackos, and a pretty girl (I say this as a Dad of 2 pretty young girls) is going to get lots of undesired attention online. It's so unfortunate, but it's the world we live in. Just stay safe and make sure no one can take it to the next step and try to meet you or stalk you.[DOUBLEPOST=1474192098,1474191943][/DOUBLEPOST]

No in you tube you can choose what country you want the video to appear in. Usually news organizations use this because a lot is restricted to the us only
 
Absolutely do not engage over private messaging. The thing is, that type of blackmailing message is the opening that creeps tend to use to get in. They make overblown demands, and then when you respond, they think they have some sort of hold over you. Never try to reason with someone who has inappropriate boundaries. I have gotten some really problematic messages from folks over private messenger and via email, and I just do not reply. Writing into a vacuum becomes old quickly, for most. For those who it doesn't, the block feature is a wonderful thing.
