Cannot remove some bots

Open theholylord57 opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

There is an issue where I got to remove someone, it says they've been removed, yet they are still following my account. I've tried many different ways of removing and even blocking and it doesn't seem to work.

This is a somewhat known issue. It doesn't happen that often though. It's an issue on Twitch's end when they most likely think that the account is already blocked and then don't remove the follow. A possible workaround is to use the "Just remove" option which first blocks the account and then unblocks it. Then waiting a few minutes and then try to remove or block it again. Sometimes the unblocking of the first step gets these accounts out of this broken state and a removal works. This isn't always the case though and if it doesn't work there is not much else you can do except to wait for Twitch to fix it or try it again at a later date.

There is nothing I can do to fix this. My tools can't do more than to tell Twitch via their APIs to block or unblock accounts. What then Twitch does or in this case doesn't do is out of my control.
