Skout skout

you guys never reply to emails..show a little respect for genuine gifters spending money on your site, personally I have stopped until I get the VIP badge I deserve.
This site is like a ponzie scheme with life performers in alliances with others to redistribute gifts/diamonds to help each other..no real spending here..and those that do spend are treated liked crap..too many changes..too many restrictions...you simply could have put an age restriction on the site or lives..

Skout there is no way of reporting people who are being disrespectful and sending inappropriate messages.

A male that belongs to my friends was sending me inappropriate messages therefore I wanted to report him to SKOUT, but there is no option on the app to do so. The only option the app has is to block a person, which I did block Jesus Avalos (Chuy on skout.) Skout should have an option to be able to report users who are misusing the app for inappropriate behaviors.

Skout person using fake information

Their this streamer called Matt or @mattasslandia which he goes by but all he does is put other streamers down and make fun of them and I heard I'm talk about he made a website for the streamers which is called idiotstreamers.com where he posts information about other streamers most likely without consent. None of the streamers who encountered him likes him Because he has a black screen all the time and refuses to show his face or identity which is kinda sketchy. If you could watch his streams and look at his profile you would know what I'm talking about.

Dear skout Team,

There are so many time I try to complain or report against IKRAM KHAN(a guy who using fake location of US and he is living in Malaysia)
I saw so many times when he is using viruses hacking tricks and abusing to the others because of his premium account we can't do anything we tried to complain on your official page but you are not getting any type of response from your side.

Last couple of months he bann more than 500 accounts without any reason.

So I am requesting you kindly suspend his account as per my below mentioned details and screenshots.
I am sending you his picture for more details conformations.

Skout harassment and insults

I'm a member on SKOUT . I just had a bad experience on live. I dropped in on someone's live stream and that person immediately began to harass me and insult me verbally because I'm Gay. Instead of being polite I was subjected to vile abuse. This mans profile is under the name of JORDAN GUIDRY from Lafayette, Louisiana USA. He is not the first one to insult and harass me simply because I'm Gay. This man JORDAN GUIDRY should be banned from SKOUT and meet me
