    I'm fairly new to streaming and was wondering how you handle 'odd' people that pop up in chat. Like I said i'm new and I only 1 viewer and that 1 viewer is always an 'odd' person.

    It depends on what you think is odd. Can you provide some details on this?

    I can give you an example. I don't add people I don't know personally. Someone entered my chat asked me to add them on PSN. I said 'I don't add people I don't know personally, sorry' they then proceeded to tell me their full name,where they lived and how old they were. Then asked for me to add them again, apparently to that person they thought telling me all this now means I know them personally. And a few others that had to be timedout/banned as they just came to cause trouble. (You know, the general shouting abuse at other viewers or me if theirs no one else to get attention)

    Hmm i understand your situation and can give you some advice on this.
    As i live stream myself i get these things quite often. Because your playing a game wich is of interest to people some may ask if you want to add them as they want to join your game and tag along, in some cases this could indeed be trouble and sometimes it can be good fun and you get to know new people.
    Now since your someone who doesn't add people you don't know i think you gave a normal answer. You told the person the reason you don't like to add people and with that tou should leave it be. If they keep going on you can ignore it for the time being. If it becomes spamming i would block the person.

    I do have online friends don't get me wrong. If they were a regular viewer,we talked all the time and they seemed alright then after awhile I may have said yeah we can have a game together. It's like real life you don't go up to random people at work or school and go 'be my friend'.
