@drastaify

I've had to delete pictures of me and my *little sister

(autoword)

[Mixedracepride]

@drastaify

Actually they WOULD do it for no reason it's happened to many channels even YouTube partners so I haven't done anything wrong. I've had to delete my pictures of me and my aid because they had read edited it do make it a disgusting image! I haven't don't anything wrong. So I'm correcting you on that one.

[drastaify]

i got it. i just wanted to know how to turn friend lock off

[Mixedracepride]

I have this troll that has made an impersonation account, he took my profile pic and took my background and made his page to make it seem that he is a gay troll. He copies my channel comments and alters them into gay comments posting it on his wall. Is there anyway to stop him coming on my channel altogether and still let my friends come on my channel.?

[ollieblade]

@Mixedracepride Yes, if you go to the users channel there should be a link (near their picture) that says 'Block User'. If you click on that the user will no longer be able to visit your channel or interact with you.

[HomerSETH9]

@Mixedracepride i wish there was a way to do that too

[drastaify]

@Mixedracepride well they wouldnt do this for no reason so you did deserve it

[Chamath5]

i didnt enable it it was automaticaly enabled

[lakerskid2013]

I've got friend lock on all of my 5 YouTube accounts and I've got no more annoying messages. They were mainly spammers and I was getting so annoyed by it by blocking them and marking those messages as spam that I enabled friend lock.

[TheSelenaGomezStory]

can I ask you question? Or whoever reads this that knows the answer!!!

How do you activate auto-accept friend invites? You know, someone adds you and they automatically are your friends? And how do you remove the "add as a friend" button? I visited a YT account before and this guy totally removed this button from sight so I couldn't add him. Help? ANYONE? PLEASE!! :3

[ollieblade]

@TheSelenaGomezStory Unfortunately, there is no such thing as 'auto accept friend invites', they have to be accepted manually.

[TheSelenaGomezStory]

@ollieblade no, there is. but maybe that feature is only available for partners of YT. coz i saw a couple of people have "auto accept" on. some even remove "add as a friend" button. thanks anyway :)

[nightral8I4]

I am going to do this. I hate all these messages I'm getting.

[WalterPivot13]

WTF!!? LOL PivotMasterDX Comment this video!! O.o

[LEGO2014]

[ollieblade]

@LEGO2014 No problem :)

[CanadianWolfPack]

you australian

[deadbolt1000]

Is it possible to upload videos on Youtube with a camera?? PLZ ANSWER GREATMIGHTYKLUK!!!!

[ollieblade]

@deadbolt1000 What exactly do you mean by this?

[deadbolt1000]

@ollieblade like if u can make vids with your camera can u upload them up on Youtube 4 youtubers 2 watch?

[ollieblade]

@GREATMIGHTYKLUK Yes, it is. Find the channel comments box on your channel and click edit. It will then give you a few privacy options, one of them only allows friends to comment on your channel.

[comton7000]

@ollieblade ok ive got a questtion for you or who ever the hell can answer it , say that you go to some ones video & put a comment there & others dont agree with it as usaul; & ya want to keep them from replying towards you so that the bitching back & and forth wont happen , is it possilble to block the there replys from your comment on some elses video ?, if it is how do you to it? , anyways i would appreciate you or anybody else out there can help me on that , later.....

[ollieblade]

@comton7000 Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to do this.

[comton7000]

@ollieblade well nuts , well thanks anyways later.....

[WhoAreYouWTF]

u have a GAY voice

[nightral8I4]

Finally. I have people giving me shit then blocking me and or they have friend lock. Its really annoying and some guy who is 21 said your 12 your blocked.

[Vickyspicsandvids]

@nightral8I4 I HATE THAT! -.- I really dont understand why the new Youtube dosent have a friend lock, Youtube has gone way to far with this shit . >.<

[paris4eva4u]

thanx alot :)

i dont sub,but i had to sub u <3

[phanofmusic626]

If you check "let others find my channel on Youtube if they have my e-mail address", the friend lock is disabled, right? And also, if you have it disabled, do others automatically know your e-mail address even if you are not friends with them?

[ollieblade]

@phanofmusic626 Do you mean friend lock? It dosent show your email address on your channel, what friend lock does is stops users who you are not friends with sending you messages through the YouTube personal message service.

Hope This Helps

[pcpancake]

thanks for the info

[finalninjadog]

oh so you say that only friends can send messages and then friend lock is on. i see now. thanks it will come in handy now

[jenngra505]

I hate that Friend Lock

[sirwestiethe327th]

i dont think this works anymore. i have had this option ticked since day one and people have still been able to send me messages.

[SuperHumanPerfect]

thanks alot!! i've been getting these unknown spam messages lately.. it's pissing me off..

[RubyBearCub3]

Old youtube was awesome! Whyd they have to change it? And why am I captilazing the first part of my sentence? I don't do that!! :O

[emerio]

Thanks! I got so tired of all the video messages from random people asking me to watch their videos. This does me wonders!

[AlviTVBD]

OLD YOUTUBE WAS GOOD

[ollieblade]

@AlviTVBD I agree I dont see why they changed it.

[q3gold]

@ollieblade part of the informational corporation agenda

[RichardsReviews]

0:04 I miss the old youtube layout and channels =(

Anyways, great tutorial

[Turnerlover7]

Thank you for your help :)) that was easy lol

[SonicCouplesx2]

YES! thank you! It;s so hard to find friend lock now that youtube made the BETA channel!

[WWEtitantr0nz]

I never found, even when it wasnt!

[detheroc98]

thanks a lot!!!

[mebematthew0]

Does someone need a hug? Lol. Seriously, random insults such as this do nothing. If I where to call you a whiney-ass momma's boy that needs to learn to masturbate, would you feel anything? Would you be ABLE to do anything other than flame back?

Flame wars solve nothing. They only start more of the same. Please copy and paste this whenever you see a comment such as the one I'm replying to.

[Mystery0Warrior]

[ollieblade]

Hope This Helps

[leokimvideo]

I never knew this..one thing I know is comments be them good or bad raise the profile of a video, and thats important if your looking to build a channel.

Sure bad comments can leave a bad taste, but every comment raises a videos profile on the tube.

[GenieBella]

Thanks for the help. =)
