Gone to war with youtube.

beezer123 · 12-11-11, 12:46 PM

I've just had my "How to get a free android phone" flagged and disabled for spam.

How this is spam I do not know as I am only telling people about my experiences.

I am not trying to scam people as I'm only telling them to go to my site, something which happens on a mass basis on youtube. So advertising can't be the reason they've disabled it as that's one of youtubes main uses for businesses.

I am actually so angry.

Will not let this one go

Anyone else appealed a wrongful youtube spam flagging?

You get it all the time, it's normally the competition that flags it as spam, you can try appealing but not sure they would change their mind.

Yea. First my video was flagged, then another, then my whole channel banned! I had an unboxing video and a few other "how it works" videos. Think it was someone out to remove me! (not that I had many hits)

Never got reinstated or even any explanation!

Yup, same happened to me. I made an video "Unboxing my free iPad from Gadgets4nowt" and it got reported, lost the YouTube account that I'd built up over time.

Never got a reply from YouTube and the irony is, there are people on there still using the same title (albeit not the actual video).

gadgets4nowt - YouTube

Like i said, it's not the title of the video as it would appear under Youtube's radar similar to how yours did, it is people (most likely the competition) reporting you to try and progress with their videos.
