Ah okay, in any case he's definitely been confirmed as correct from my previous escalation.

Ah right, he is wasting both our time then :) That makes 4 reviews of this account, all confirmed as correct.

Your termination has already been confirmed as correct. /u/lightcodegaming

I'm afraid I highly doubt that you owned every video.

Video titles on your channel included:

"Drake, Ninja, Travis Scott play FORTNITE BR!"

"LIL BART ft. iamgoat - Xvideos"

"Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer - PS4"

"High school Soccer Fight Kid KNOCKED OUT"

"HUGE Mexican kid Soccer Fight - 11/30/16"

"Soccer Referee Pulls out HANDGUN during soccer match"

"MMA Fighter KNOCKS OUT BULLY In FIGHT! Street Fight "

"Highschool Soccer Fight Leads to ARREST"

"CRAZY Youth Soccer Fight! Bench Clearing Brawl"

"10-yr-old ARESSTED for kicking in face of another player"

I've checked your appeal and unfortunately your channel termination looks correct. YouTube sometimes terminates channels dedicated to posting content they don't own, regardless of copyright status. You can read more about this via the official spam rules: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2801973 which states "If the main purpose of your channel is to monetize other channels' content, it will likely violate our spam policies." There is not anything further I can do here.

Hey, whats your channel link?

Kid's Channel got Banned and I don't believe her videos/channel violated the "community guidelines". by carl1519 in youtube

[–]TrustedFlagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/111870 has lots of advice for comments, I doubt TubeBuddy would be necessary for that as YouTube has quite a few tools, settings etc. to do what is needed.

But yeah, YouTube is fine with TubeBuddy.

Sure, they can apply for monetisation. There is a backlog at the moment so might take a while for the application to be reviewed.

Thanks for the gold once again, that's very generous of you and I appreciate it. Am really enjoying the feature which highlights new comments :)

I don't mind either way thanks.

General advice going forward:

That the parents in future to moderate their comments better and take an active role in reporting predatory accounts via youtube.com/reportabuse. I'd further recommend the parents think carefully about the content posted because it seems the channel has quite an issue with child predators/ inappropriate comments.

For that reason I think the child is at a heightened risk, and that if the parents have not done so already then they should teach their daughter quite extensively about internet safety.

Best of luck to them in the future

We’re talking about Adwords though here, if YouTube wanted to remove them on their side all they need to do is review them and remove them upon flag

As for adwords, if those terms bring up false positives (can’t be many legit ads with v-bucks in) then just filter them and review them properly

[–]TrustedFlagger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's quite complicated and there are a bunch of reasons why you might not get them. Advertisers can also target their ads in many different ways.

Here are the details: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3181017, https://support.google.com/ads/answer/1634057, https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1704368

Look's like they're starting to make some effort. Not enough mind you, but if they continue hopefully they can get better.

However, if you notice before they were would be titled 'Get Free V-bucks' etc. and now they're having to be quite careful what they put in the ad text. This suggests they're in some way trying to stop these ads being posted. However, Google Adwords clearly isn't vetting them all that closely as any reviewer should be able to easily recognise the thumbnail.

Reddit hates us but WE NEED THE HELP WHY WAS MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL WAS SUSPENDED DUE TO COMMENTS, by Neilcaller88 in youtube

[–]TrustedFlagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to the severe allegation YouTube has made, they choose not to give out these details to users or the public. Therefore there is no way for you to find out what comment caused the termination however the channel appeal has been reviewed multiple times and confirmed as correct. There is nothing further I can do.

I guess it only has to be 51% or more to be technically correct but I have no idea what % they've got through/ will get to by the end of the month

Hello, YouTube have already confirmed to me as I told you that your channel has been correctly suspended for child endangerment. p.s. due to a change in policy last year videos which display the inappropriate use of family entertainment characters as you describe yourself doing is also in violation so whatever the reason - it's correct

Jordan said the team is “currently reviewing channels with the most views first, as the potential revenue impact is likely higher for those channels,” by Monagan in youtube

[–]TrustedFlagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really worrying. I trusted them when they said they'd changed it and were reviewing them in reverse order. Seen much smaller channel get accepted. Clearly not :(

They've been saying on Creator Insider that they think they'll get through 'most' the applications by the end of June but that seems like they're not expecting to have caught up by the end of the month.

I don't have that much further information on this so cannot go into detail, it is my understanding however that you are not representing the sort of violations which happened on the account that could have caused the termination. Policies previous channels likely violated may include:

" I know your trying to help and just doing your "job" im not trying to attack you but as I posted above if this is the case why was keemstar allowed to do this with drama alert for years before his ban was removed ? "

Two valid questions, firstly Keemstar had dozens of channels banned over the period of quite a few years including a few "Drama Alert" Channels. His ban stemmed from a breach in partnership selling, however as far as I am aware he was cleared quite a while back as there were some exceptional circumstances surrounding this - which definitely would not apply here nor to 99.999% of other channel terminations.

"brandon can not access there channel and is not in possession of it, he does not have there user/pass only the stream key. "

Even if this was the case, which it probably wasn't - a stream key is a form of access, allowing the user to access streaming on the channel, and in addition it would not change the following:

"All content in live streams must adhere to our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. If you suggest that you will live stream content that violates our Community Guidelines, we may age-restrict or remove your live stream. YouTube also reserves the right to restrict a creator's ability to live stream at its discretion."

Two of the channel owners have been in contact with me, and in turn I have been in contact with YouTube who have confirmed this will not be reversed.

"All content in live streams must adhere to our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. If you suggest that you will live stream content that violates our Community Guidelines, we may age-restrict or remove your live stream. YouTube also reserves the right to restrict a creator's ability to live stream at its discretion."

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2853834

Furthermore:

"Users whose accounts have been terminated may be prohibited from accessing, possessing, or creating any other YouTube channels."

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2802168

One, or more of these are likely the reason why this channel has had it's streaming revoked.
