I Got Doxxed By A Weirdo And Instagram Didnt Want To Do Anything About It
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
Content creator Ross recently shared his experience of being doxed by a persistent individual who targeted him after a disagreement during a live stream. The incident began when the aggressor, known as Chad Gunner Game, roasted Ross and his friend Dub on their Twitch channel while watching Smackdown. When Ross asked for a profile picture to continue the banter, the user refused, leading Ross to timeout the user from the Discord server. However, instead of accepting this moderation, the user became increasingly aggressive, making threats about confronting Ross in person and eventually posting his home address on Instagram stories along with an incorrect phone number.
Ross attempted to report the doxing behavior to Instagram, but the platform's response was unsatisfactory. Despite providing screenshots as proof that the user had posted his private address, Instagram stated that the account did not violate their community standards regarding harassment and bullying, leaving the account active. Ross expressed frustration with this inconsistency, noting that other accounts have been removed for different reasons while clear illegal doxing goes unpunished. He highlighted that even though the offending account has very few followers, posting someone's real-world location to hundreds of people is a serious safety issue that should not be ignored by social media platforms.
The situation escalated further when Ross discovered that the same individual had created a new Twitch account and was attempting to get unbanned while simultaneously leaking his information again. Ross revealed that his father is a police officer with significant connections, emphasizing that he could easily trace the user's IP address and identity if necessary, though he prefers to avoid legal action unless absolutely required. He appealed to his audience to help by reporting the Instagram account themselves, hoping that collective pressure might force the platform to take action against such small but dangerous accounts.
Ultimately, Ross concluded the video by warning that if the harassment continues, he will be forced to involve law enforcement, as the current behavior has crossed from annoying trolling into a genuine safety threat. He expressed disappointment that some fans view doxing as a "badge of honor" rather than a serious crime that jeopardizes personal privacy and security. Despite the ordeal, Ross thanked his supporters for their love and encouragement, hoping that this incident serves as a reminder to remain vigilant online and that such toxic behavior can be stopped before it leads to worse consequences for content creators everywhere.

What's good y'all? Your boy Ross back at
again with another video. Well,
unfortunately y'all, your boy got doxed.
Now, I knew at some point this would
possibly happen in my social media
content creation career. Honestly, I was
hoping it would never get to that point
because you never really want to get
docks. But I figured I would run into
someone that is just ultimately a loser
in real life and feel some type of way
and want to try to cause some chaos and
turmoil in my life. That's kind of the
unfortunate downside to being a content
creator, being someone on social media
or a public figure, even though I don't
view myself that way. But I understand I
have a following and some people are
just Some people are trolls
and unfortunately I got doxed. Now this
took place actually last month. The
reason why I'm talking about it today is
well that same individual decided to try
to weasle their way back into our live
stream on Twitch last night while we was
watching Smackdown. And I didn't realize
it. I actually wasn't paying attention
to the person's name, but one of the
homies in the Discord actually messaged
me and let me know that may have been
the person that doxed me a month ago.
Let me explain how all of this
transpired. And I have uh images that
I'm going to show you guys to kind of
back up what's going on here. So,
there's this individual, and I don't
even remember his uh um Discord name,
but he was roasting me while we was live
streaming on Twitch, me and the homie
Dub. He was roasting me. And honestly,
I'm not tripping off of that. You know,
that's what we do in the Discord. We'll
roast each other and, you know, we just
have a good time. It's it's it's fun to
do that from time to time. But he kept
making his jokes while I was live. So, I
was like, "All right, you know what?
What I'm gonna need you to do, go ahead
and post a picture of yourself since you
got jokes. I need to be able to joke on
you because I can't joke on this noame
profile or no face to the profile. You
know how people be having different
avatars, other characters as their
profile picture? I don't know how you
really look. So, if we going to roast
each other, I need to see how you look.
Now, I've responded. He didn't want to
say nothing. I was like, "Look, bro. If
you don't respond with some type of
picture, I'mma time you out. I'mma time
you out for a week cuz you got jokes.
Cool. I'mma time you out. Wasn't going
to ban him, but I was going to time him
out regardless. Didn't say nothing. So,
I timed them out live on stream. Once
again, I got to make this very clear. I
didn't ban him. And even when I usually
time people out for a week, the reason
why I put air quotations there because
nine times out of 10, I'll just unttime
you out like literally the next day or
that same day. I don't be timing people
out for a week. Unless you do something
egregious in the Discord, you kind of
just need to sit down. Like if anything,
we try our hardest not to ban people,
but you got to be doing multiple weird
offenses for us to have to ban you in
the Discord. Timed him out. He goes to
the Twitch. Now, let me show you his
Twitch name. These are his Twitch
accounts. Now, initially, this was his
first Twitch name. Then, apparently, he
must have made another one. I didn't
realize cuz I wasn't paying attention.
This happened like over a month ago. But
he comes in there, this person right
here, Chad Gunner Gang, he comes in
there and he's upset. And I can tell
he's upset in the Twitch chat because
he's getting mad disrespectful. Normally
that's an immediate ban. And when I mean
by disrespectful, I mean the dude is
actually over here talking about, "Yo,
when I see you in person, it's up like
on some pulling up on me type stuff."
And I'm like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa." I mean, I don't know why you
getting upset. I didn't even ban you. I
timed you out. You was talking. You was
making your jokes. You ain't want to
send a picture, so I timed you out. You
come on to Twitch and talking about,
"Hey, I'mma, you know, I'mma pull up on
you." Whoa, whoa, whoa. we don't do
that. Like you going you going to like
basically fight me over you getting
timed out on Discord. So I didn't even
turn up on the guy. I just told him,
"Hey, chill out with that. I'm not even
going to entertain you. You talking mad
crazy right now. You don't know me like
that. I'm going just go ahead and time
you out on Twitch." I timed him out on
Twitch. And you know with Twitch, it's
like a 600 second timeout. He comes
back. He comes back and then immediately
starts turning up again, getting mad,
disrespectful, calling me out my name.
And from that point on, I mean, you
clearly not getting a hint. So, I banned
him. I banned him on Twitch cuz now I
didn't even, you know, ban you
initially. I just timed you out because
you was talking crazy. Just calm down.
Now, you getting even more
disrespectful. You doubling down. I
don't have to go back and forth with
you. I don't know you, so I'mma just ban
you. Go from there. Hence, this is why
you see he has two accounts basically
the same name, right? This was the
original account that ultimately got
banned. So, I end up finding out uh cuz
I end up getting tagged on my Instagram
while I was live. And then I also end up
finding out from one of the homies like,
"Hey Ross, bro, he doxed you." I'm like,
"What you talking about? The guy that
you banned on Twitch?" This is what he
ended up posting on his Instagram story.
Let make this bigger so y'all can see
this. He posted this Chad Gunner game on
his Instagram story. I screenshotted
this. When did this happen? So, I have
the actual date cuz I screenshotted it
the day happened. July 25th. So, little
over a month. Uh, actually, you know,
close to under a month. So, July 25th,
this is when he posted this. I didn't
know this until one of the homies from
Discord told me. And I'm not going to
show the full thing, but this is where
it says, "Bum ass dude banned me from
his live bet at Ross the chosen one and
proceeds to put my address." Now, he
thought he got the phone number right,
but that phone number that he posted on
his story was incorrect. I'm not going
to even show that cuz I don't know that
may be a real phone number, so I don't
want anyone getting on random calls and
texts. but he posted a number he thought
was mine, but the address he posted on
there was correct. And this wasn't the
first time he had been putting it on his
story, talking mad crazy about me, and
then just posted my address. So, I was
like, "All right, cool." So, I do the
proper report. I try to report it to
Instagram, and this is the message I
ended up getting from Instagram
themselves. This right here, this
account wasn't removed, but we still
want to help. Our team reviewed uh Chaz
Gun Game profile. They found uh that it
does not go against our community
standards on harassment and bullying.
So, you can have the option to block
them, restrict them, and all this other
stuff, but the account didn't get taken
down. And when you go through the
questionnaire, it asks you, do you have
verifiable proof? I literally have a
screenshot of this guy legitimately
doxing me, putting my address on his
story. Now, granted, he don't have that
many followers. As you guys can tell, if
I pull it up right here, this is his
account. He don't have that many
followers, but and you know, people may
not even know who he's talking about,
who I am. But the fact that you still
putting this up to 294 people, my
address, that's kind of wild. and a
number that you assume is mine. That's
kind of wild. So, at that point, and for
y'all, y'all couldn't see this is his
account. So, at that point, Instagram's
not doing nothing. And it's frustrating
because Instagram will sit up there and
and ban other accounts and delete
accounts like uh Mike Tricson. Uh he
does wrestling content. He recently just
got his account um taken down off of
Instagram. And we all saw what happened
with Chisel. He got his account taken
down from Instagram. I believe from like
a um a copyright uh situation and
hopefully Mike Tricson's able to get
that situated. But I find that very odd
and funny that you'll take these
accounts down. But when someone showing
you proof of them doxing and harassing
someone, which is illegal, and posting
it on their social medias, you don't do
nothing about it.
Interesting. Very interesting. Instagram
when you want to pick and choose to
actually, you know, abide by your own
regulations that you sell out. But
that's neither here nor there. But what
makes this even crazier? What makes this
even crazier, I ended up finding out
that this guy, the same guy that docks
me, that has an issue with me, that was
saying some wild disrespectful stuff to
me because I timed him out on Discord.
This is what this person ends up
posting.
Chad Gunnar game sent an unbanned
request and this is what he commented
because I leaked your information on IG
Chad Gunnar game. This was last month.
They sent an unbanned request on Twitch.
He wanted to get unbanned and thought it
was funny because he leaked my
information on Instagram.
Buddy,
why would I unban you for le? That
doesn't even make sense. You literally
doxed me and think that is funny.
It's not. That stuff is not funny. I
take that very seriously because if I
was a crash out,
you you think it'd be hard to find out
who you are, Chad?
Like, you think it would be impossible
for me to find you? You don't think I
know individuals that are very skilled
at this type of stuff of finding people?
And I'm not trying to go that route
because that causes even more problems.
But the point I'm trying to make, if I
was that type of person, you don't think
I would take that seriously and then you
laughing about it as if this is a joke,
as is it it's funny and I should unban
you. No. If anything, you need to get
your accounts deleted and you need to
seek some help because this is a
dangerous game you're playing at.
Leaking people's information that can
have some horrible repercussions
because you don't know who I know and
you don't know how far other people are
willing to go, especially if I need to
find some information cuz you're
jeopardizing me. I'm going to put this
out there. I'm going to put this out
there. Some of y'all may not know this.
Some of y'all do know this. My dad's
actually a cop.
My dad is actually a police officer.
Been a police officer for a very long
time. Has plenty of connections.
If I sent this to my dad, hey, there's
somebody that's leaking my information.
You don't think we can't get track your
IP? Get your information because this is
technically illegal. I hadn't even shown
this to my dad. I was just hanging out
with him earlier today to celebrate my
birthday. hadn't even told him.
But you don't think I I can't find that
information
like you still have your account. If we
need to, we will get your IP and figure
out who you are because that's illegal.
So for you to have the audacity to try
to come back to be a part of the Twitch
is weird behavior. But this is why I
brought this back up. The reason why I
brought this back up because it all
comes back full circle. What I mean by
that, this account right here, he made a
new one and I was interacting with the
account and I didn't realize it cuz I
forgot. I literally, hey, I reported the
account. There's not much I can do.
Instagram ain't gonna do jack squad. So,
hey, I'm g just be vigilant, but if some
stuff pop off, then we know where it
originated from. So, he made another
account and basically I didn't even
realize I was interacting with him until
once again one of the homies told me.
And now I was like, "Okay, bet. When we
go live, we're going to go ahead and ban
this account as well." So, here's the
thing. I'm going to need y'all help on
this one. I don't know if it takes
multiple people to get this type of
situation situated, but if y'all can do
me a favor, man. I normally don't do
this, but people like him don't deserve
to be on social media. Um, because this
is not what's up. Could y'all report his
Instagram? Just report his Instagram. I
know they may not do nothing, but if
there's enough people reporting it, they
may look into it. If there's enough
people looking at his account, seeing
what he's doing, because he's a small
account, so he thinks he can get away
with that type of stuff. No. Report this
account, Brad. Report this account.
Yeah, he can make another one, but at
least Instagram needs to be able to see
there are people out here with small
accounts. Most of the people that do the
weird stuff have small accounts like
this and they need to be taken off the
platform because it's not cool. And best
believe when he does get back on Twitch,
we're going to ban that account. I think
we banned his Discord accounts as well.
Like at the end of the day, I'm not
about to keep, you know, going back and
forth with someone, but if this type of
behavior does continue from this person,
then I will go to the next steps. Then
we will get the law enforcement involved
because now clearly you not understand
it. And I'm trying to not even go that
route. Even though I probably should,
but I'm trying not to because at the end
of the day, I think people can change if
they want to change. Cuz you clearly got
to be a supporter of a fan. But this
type of fandom, I don't like. It's
weird. It's not cool. And you need to
chill out before things get serious.
Because when things get serious and
things get worse, then we're in a whole
another situation. And at that point,
whatever happens happened. Nevertheless,
man, hey, I just wanted to kind of make
this video to kind of uh let y'all know
what has been going on. And ultimately,
I'm hoping that this can get situated
before things get worse. Um, but
nevertheless, these are the type of
things that, you know, content creators
uh sometimes have to deal with. And it's
really unfortunate that there's
individuals out there that just there's
something missing up there. They don't
have all these screws tightened on
tightly. So, but hey, hey, I guess you
can say, man, I'm I'm getting up there
now where I'm getting docks. It's a
badge of honor for some would say. I
don't think it is. I think it's
unnecessary. No matter how popular you
get, you should be able to have somewhat
type of some type of privacy. Someone
shouldn't be going out their way trying
to, you know, cause issues. But hey man,
I appreciate all the love and support
you guys have shown on my personal page
and in the clutch page everywhere on all
social media platforms. Thank you so
much for all the support over the years,
man. And hopefully, you know, I don't
have any more doxing issues from anybody
else going forward. Keeping fingers
crossed, man. I appreciate all love
support. Roll to 200K. Appreciate y'all
kicking with me. See you on the next
one. Peace.
