How To Appeal YouTube Community Guidelines

Appeal a Community Guidelines strike

Community Guidelines strikes are issued when YouTube reviewers are notified of a violation of the Community Guidelines . If a strike is issued, you'll get an email and  see an alert in your account's Channel Settings the next time you sign in to YouTube.

YouTube reviewers are highly trained, but if you think that your video doesn't violate the Community Guidelines and was removed in error, you can appeal the strike.

Before you start: You can appeal each
Community Guidelines strike only once. If they uphold their original decision on the strike, you won't be able to appeal future strikes on any videos in your account for
60 days. Review the Policy Center before appealing a strike on your account.

Follow the instructions below to see details about the strike in your account.

1. Sign in to your YouTube account.


2. Click your account icon in the top right
> Creator Studio .
3. In the left menu, click Channel > Status
and features.
4. In the Community Guidelines section,
you'll see your strikes.



5. Click Appeal this decision.
After you submit an appeal
You'll get an email from YouTube letting
you know the result of your appeal request.Appeal Community Guidelines
strikes

Note : They will want you to give them a reason for appealing, so you must have a good reason.

One of four things may happen:


  • If YouTube find that your video did not violate their Community Guidelines, they will reinstate it and remove the strike from your account.



  • In some instances, it's possible that YouTube may remove the strike from your account, but keep the video down.



  • In some instances, it's possible that YouTube may reinstate your video behind an age restriction. This will happen if a violation is not found, but the content isn't appropriate for all audiences.



  • If YouTube find that your video was in violation of their Community Guidelines,they will uphold the strike and the video will remain down from the site.

Deleting the video will not resolve the strike. If you delete your video,the strike will remain and you won't be able to appeal again.

You may appeal each video strike only
once. If YouTube uphold their original decision on the strike, you won't be able to appeal future strikes on your account for a period of 60 days.

Selfish

 Two years ago I had visited my grandmother in Port Shepstone during the Christmas holidays. The last time I had visited my grandmother was ten years ago. The city life had now consumed me. But when I was there I felt free, there was less pollution and the houses were further apart. Everyday started slowly and ended calmly, no drama. It was like I was in haven surrounded by angels. It was a Monday, the 22nd of June. The day started normally; breakfast followed by never ending household chores. Midday, after lunch, Grandma was busy with sewing and everybody had gone to where they entertained themselves. My younger cousin had gone to his friends. They had just been introduced to puberty and were following weird trends. They were cutting their hair like football stars, a style they called “Steko”. They wore sneakers and skinny jeans; their idea of a swag. All the village girls were crazy about them. My aunt was the worst. The tavern was like a job to her, she attended in shift...

Selfish [Chapter 2]

Two months after Vusi had renovated the house with the money he made from his chicken farm, and the one he took from his older son Khethelo, Jabulani decided to take away everything Vusi had. He could not bear Vusi being praised and respected much more than him. Jabulani decided to first use his own daughter to take away Vusi’s respect. Jabulani did not care about anyone. His daughter and wives were just a burden to him as they never gave him a male child and Nonhlanhla was still not married at twenty five. Jabulani forced her daughter to sleep with Vusi’s younger son Sanele. Then Jabulani asked Vusi to make do ceremony, thanking the ancestors for everything they have done for them. The day of the ceremony came. Jabulani took care of all the arrangements, with the help of his wives and Vusi’s wives. Khethelo arrived an hour before the ceremony was set to begin. Jabulani, Vusi and Khethelo served the male guests with meat and traditional beer. Jabulani and Vusi served all the elde...
