Hopefully this will help clear up what exactly is happening with my account right now. I uploaded a video of a dating game called Katawa Shoujo, the game itself does contain some nudity, but I always make sure to censor it very carefully so as not to go against Youtubes guidelines. The latest video contained a half second scene of exposed breasts where I made an honest mistake in the editing and did not realise it. The content was then flagged and I received a community strike. Up to this point I understand everything, from then on it gets strange. Youtube tell me I have a strike, this is my first and only strike. Youtube work on a multiple strike system and yet after only one strike I find my entire account terminated without any chance to explain or fight it. I am distraught, this is my job, my main source of income. It happens at a bad time (on the weekend) as my network (Maker Studios) are not in work. At first I felt like nothing was happening, then Totalbiscuit (A Youtuber) steps in and helps me out with his contacts and gets the ball moving a lot faster. Maker studios sends me an E-mails gets me a contact on Skype and I am being kept informed of the situation by them. Currently we are waiting on responses from people in the network on what can be done and why this had happened. I see no reason that I should not get back my channel for something that is clearly a giant mistake on Youtubes part.



Now I want to know why my accidental nudity causes the closure of my channel. While other Youtubers are free to expose nudity and much worse content without blow back. Does Youtube work on a double standard? It can choose to ignore its own guidelines so long as they are getting good money out of it. Will I receive any kind of apology from them? Not only for the loss of income, but also the mental and physical strain this has put on me. I have had a non stop headache and have hardly slept at all since this started. I have quite literally worried myself sick over something that I consider to be entirely Youtubes fault.



Until they admit they are wrong and reverse this great abuse of their own system, admit that they have a flawed system and will change it. I see no reason to let up on the pressure and messages towards them. Let them never forget what we are feeling at this moment, and how disgusted we are that they feel it ok to treat their users with such little regard.



Re-tweeting and spreading this around would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reading.
