Ban someone from viewing stream, when i go live, and chat?

I thought JTV used to have the option to remove followers and not allow them to see when you go live, the stream, or chat.  I've had a few people I would like to ban from my stream for harassment in games such as DayZ, using the stream to know when I go live, to find me, and to use hacks to ruin my game or the whole server.  This is not regarding to someone just "stream sniping" but actually using hacks in a game.  This should be against twitch TOS, as twitch discourages hackers to begin with from streaming.  Ive reported them, have multiple logs regarding their opinion on twitch and getting new ip's if they get ip banned, and i get no response from twitch at all regarding the situation.

they have created multiple accounts to avoid the chat ban, and now just go back to the original to view my stream and hack.

    No, you can't ban someone from viewing your stream. If they're evading bans and/or harassing you, you can report them ( include the other names they're using ) and they will be investigated.

    Fair warning, this forum is not a medium for user reports.

    Your last report was over two weeks ago. If you stop reporting them then it's sort of a sign that the problem has gone away.

    As for ingame stalking, we can't do anything about that.

    No it was a sign of me getting bored of the game, but for instance I was playing bf3, and someone was doing the same thing.. he said he would go around trolling streamers.  in a DM server, and hes using blatant hacks.  while i have it recorded with his name, and ill report it to the proper place, he should be banned from twitch as well for doing something like that.

    ruining a stream should be against TOS for twitch.  if someone is blatantly doing that, following you in game, and using hacks.. that should be punished.

    also is there no way to tell if your report actually had an effect?  if they got banned, and will twitch be doing something similar to JTV where you can stop someone from following you or viewing the stream?  

    thanks for info, just curious at this point.

    I completely agree with you man. This is getting very annoying very fast. I am paying for these streaming licenses to stream for viewers while playing games and it doesn't make it enjoyable when you're being followed by hackers (DayZ) and they just constantly avoid chat bans.

    I'm also curious as to how Twitch deals with it?? Did you get informed when someone was dealt with? Or do they just do it internally and you kind of have to guess it worked...
