twitter.com/BotDetectorBot has been trolling smaller channels. My channel, TheAwesomeIncarnate, was falsely accused of ViewBotting and then flagged in the middle of a major marathon of Watch Dogs. I was in the middle of my 24hr Watch Dogs marathon Monday morning, Memorial Day and was trolled by thousands of people. (over 9000, literally) I lacked a moderator, and before I even realized what was happening, I was mass-flagged as well....Please assist!!!!

NOTE: Despite being accused of pirating Watch Dogs PC Version I was actually sent a copy of the PC version as I had requested middle of April/end of April. I was granted a copy and written consent to stream the game as early as Saturday, May 24th, 2014 5:00p EST, so long as my stream remained non-profit. (No Partnership, no donations, etc.)
I was also accused by several of the "flaggers" as being someone who pirated the game, and I quote "Ubisoft would never send such a tiny stream the PC version [early]". I run a YouTube channel (TheAwesomeIncarnate, same name) as well where I post my videos and I have been partnered with Curse Gaming (before them I was with TGN and Maker Studios). I'm known and have been bugging publishers (Ubisoft included) for years to send me a game early, including South Park Stick of Truth whose developers (Obsidian Entertainment) I know PERSONALLY. I have a long list of contacts and references and I happened to be picked when it came to Watch Dogs.
I've invested $20,000+ in renovating my basement (inb4 basement dweller jokes) into a professional studio, this includes building TWO monster machines with ALL recently released parts. Needless to say, I have invested all of this money to ensure that there would be no technical nor hardware failures during streams and gaming marathons of new releases. And what happens? I get trolled, flagged, and by a Twitter account that claims to be an offiicial Viewbot detector for TwitchTV.
Bull. Sh*t.
This release was my chance to "make it" so to speak. Not that that is even my goal, because it's not. I work a real job, all of this is self-funded. And yet I remain denied over and over and over and over....
My apologies if my last few sentences were cynical, but I want the flags lifted off of my account.
Last but not least, I would ask that the ISP of user KingKongor (who has a history of Viewbotting smaller channels and laying siege to rival channels both partnered and non-partnered) be requested to review and submit his internet history to ensure he had no part in this. When his stream started that morning, 11,000+ viewers were watching Watch Dogs. 9,000 of those viewers were watching my stream because I had over 16+ livestreamed hours of the game.
I understand TwitchTV is a business and has obligations to it's partners, but I have an obligation to gamers, fans, and viewers to show them the game for what it is and to entertain the masses WITHOUT internet panhandling users who already pay over-inflated prices for their internet connections.
Thank you for reading. I hope this gets handled soon.
