Banned from YouTube

[Ratmundo]

Hello to you all,

I have had some strange activity on my YouTube channel these past couple of weeks. From the usual 'machine gun' clicking of the dislike button on my vids, to spamming my vids with abusive messages. Most abusive individuals were blocked very quickly TBH, but it seemed that certain 'spammers', 'trolls' or just plain 'arseholes' have finally gotten their little victory.

I received several emails from the 'Bots' at YouTube last night, the first were saying that my video of Ruud Gullit was against their Community Guidelines, then another player face build, and then another, and another.... after an hour or so my video that promoted my own option file was in breach of YouTube 'Copyright Policies'.

Then at 3am this morning I received an email to tell me that my YouTube channel has been 'BANNED' and that they will prevent me from creating any further accounts on YouTube etc.

I have appealed the YouTube decision but they have sent me the same 'You're Banned' email twice. It seems that my videos were being 'flagged' by person(s) unknown. I have read, on various forums, that they work on a 3 strikes and you're out policy, well I received over 20 in less than 24 hours!! :shocking:

So that is it guys, there is nothing I can do about it.

I had over 2k Subscribers, over 600,000 views and to those people I can only apologise, I had almost 600 videos of Player face build or squad previews etc... I am still in a bit of shock guys TBH.

I have worked so hard on my YouTube channel and had some great stuff planned. I have absolutely no idea who has done this or why.:unsure:

So until YouTube sort this out, I will not be spending literally hundreds of hours creating videos for face builds or anything else ... I am sure you all understand.

What the hell? If it's that easy to get someone banned, then how come this isn't happening to larger YouTubers? Something isn't right there!
I am shocked and saddened for you, Greg. Don't give up clearing your name. The community needs people like you.

Hey Buddy, thanks for your kind words. Having searched through various websites and forums, I discovered that this sort of thing happens a lot more than you think.

It is ridiculous that this sort of thing happens but unfortunately it does. I will continue to appeal every couple of weeks or so, but TBH if it's this easy to destroy someones channel, then I doubt I'll be putting in the same amount of time and effort again.

that is pure shit bro. i bet you did spent thousands of hours in your great work.

PES depends on its great community, and the effort so many people like you, put in the game. I can't belive that all of this is just gone because of "machine gun" clicking on report buttons or something like that, who the hell spends his time on things like that.... I'm not a technical expert but this looks like automated behaviour, maybe someone created a bot or something like a cron job, i don't know... I think when you have projects like that and you keep on growing, getting more and more followers/subscribers and everything, automatically you also get some haters sooner or later...

If it's that easy to destroy someones work, then i have no f***s left to give on youtube, maybe i take my time and report hundreds of those untalented influencers, vegan vlogs, or all the other youtube stuff i hate, several times.


I really hope you don't give up your work... Maybe think about other platforms like Dailymotion, Vimeo or something like that, or starting a homepage.... I know there is no place like Youtube getting so many followers and so on, but everything would be better then let all of your work just been removed. I'm with you man, keep on fighting!
