12:52:47 Fiona: Welcome! Your case ID is [redacted]. Refer to this if you need to contact us again.
12:52:49 Fiona: Hi. My name is Fiona. How are you doing today?
12:53:13 Vapemixr: Not good. Youtube has removed several of my videos for a false reason.
12:53:18 Fiona: I'm sorry to hear that.
12:53:22 Fiona: I understand that you're concerned about your videos that were removed.
12:54:10 Fiona: I know how important this is for you as a creator.
12:54:16 Fiona: Let me help you check on this.
12:55:14 Vapemixr: I review vaping devices. I never promote them, sell them, or say where they can be bought. I am very careful to follow the policies. but youtube have removed them for "selling illegal or restricted products". This is something I have NEVER done, and is a blatant lie.
12:55:56 Vapemixr: My appeals were rejected within seconds, so im guessing an automated system just auto rejected them.
12:57:45 Fiona: Thanks for the additional details.
12:59:17 Fiona: In order to look into this further, may I put you on hold for 3-5 minutes?
12:59:26 Vapemixr: Yes.
13:05:23 Fiona: Thanks for waiting. Are you there?
13:05:29 Vapemixr: i am
13:06:09 Fiona: Thanks for confirming.
13:06:27 Fiona: Monetisation on your channel has been disabled because we've found that your channel doesn't comply with our YouTube Partner Programme terms. As a result, your channel will lose access to all monetisation tools and features associated with the YouTube Partner Programme.

13:06:30 Fiona: We know that this is tough news, and sometimes we have to make difficult decisions. We have a responsibility to ensure that our community is safe for creators, viewers and advertisers. At the same time, we understand that you may have unintentionally made mistakes. That's why you'll be able to reapply for the YouTube Partner Programme in 90 days. This 90-day time period allows you to make changes to your channel to make sure that it's in line with our policies.
13:07:38 Vapemixr: Being rejected for monetisation is NOT my issue. I dont care that I will never be monetised. Im contaxcting about the videos you took down and lied about
13:09:51 Fiona: We understand that mistakes happen and that you don't necessarily mean to violate our policies – that's why the first violation is typically only a warning. To have this warning expire after 90 days, you can take policy training if you haven't done so. However, if your content violates the same policy within that 90-day window, the warning will not expire and your channel will be given a strike.

13:09:55 Fiona: Sometimes a single case of severe abuse will result in channel termination without warning. If you think that we made a mistake, you can submit an appeal.

13:10:01 Fiona: [link removed]
13:10:50 Vapemixr: Yes you made a mistake - you took down my videos and LIED about the reason
13:11:54 Vapemixr: And the link you provided just tells me to do what I have already done.
13:12:06 Fiona: If you think this was a mistake, file an appeal.
13:12:50 Vapemixr: Which I have. I told you already. My appeals were rejected within seconds by your automated system, and I am not able to appeal again.
13:13:14 Fiona: The enforcement action on your content has already been appealed in YouTube Studio, and a human reviewer re-evaluated your content and determined that it does violate our Community Guidelines. We know that this is probably disappointing news, but it's our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all.

13:13:38 Fiona: We hope that you take time to review our Community Guidelines. Because the content violates our CHILD SAFETY, we encourage you to review this policy closely: [Link Removed]

13:14:55 Vapemixr: Wait, so now my content - which is age restricted - now violates your CHILD POLICY??? Thats a completely different thing to what the original violation was, which was 'selling illegal or restricted goods'
13:15:12 Vapemixr: Both of which are wrong
13:15:39 Fiona: [Link Removed]
13:15:43 Fiona: Check this link article
13:15:48 Fiona: I have highlighted the violation of your video.
13:17:30 Fiona: Are you there?
13:17:37 Vapemixr: OK. Im checking. Using vapes - under the heading of INVOLVING MINORS? what? This reason is even more outlandish than the original violation
13:18:51 Fiona: As much as I would love to help, there's nothing more I can add at this matter.
13:19:27 Vapemixr: So you are telling me that ive now moved from "selling illegal or restricted products", you have just insinuated that I involve MINORS in my videos.
13:19:53 Fiona: I understand your frustration, but please know that we have thoroughly investigated your request and, I’m afraid there is nothing more I can add at this stage.
13:20:07 Vapemixr: That is not just wrong but potentially libolous
13:20:23 Fiona: I understand, let me transfer your concern to my supervisor, they will get back to you here on chat shortly.
13:20:49 Vapemixr: You have greatly offended me here by what you are insinuating
13:21:30 Fiona: Please stay connected while I am trying to connect you with my supervisor.
13:27:36 Fiona: All of our specialists are still engaged at the moment. Let me go ahead and convert this chat to email. Rest assured that you will receive an email from us in the next 24 hours.
