Well, what can I say... it seems that You Tube doesn't really believe their own press.... I'd like to remind us all of YouTube's policy enforcement -- in their own words...
How do we implement YouTube's content policies?General Policy Enforcement Information
The standard of behavior we expect of YouTube users is set out in our Community Guidelines. If a user posts a video or otherwise behaves on the site contrary to these Guidelines, we will generally remove the offending material, and apply a Community Guidelines warning strike against the account of the poster. These strikes stick with the accounts belonging to that user for six months from the date they are received. If a user receives such a strike they will be notified when they next log-in to their YouTube account. For reference, copies of the notice are also sent to the user's email address and YouTube private message inbox.
The first strike on an account is considered a warning. If an account receives two strikes within a six month period, the ability to post new content to YouTube from that account will be temporarily disabled. If there are no further issues, full privileges will be restored automatically after a period. If an account receives a third Community Guidelines strike within six months (before the first strike has expired) the account will be terminated. (Oh REALLY!? Do tell!)
When a user has posting privileges temporarily disabled on one account, for the duration of the suspension that user is also prohibited from posting material to YouTube using any other account. Attempts to circumvent this rule may result in immediate termination without warning of all accounts.
A user whose account has been terminated is prohibited from accessing, possessing or creating any other YouTube accounts.
Serious safety and privacy violations such as threats and harassment may result in immediate termination without prior warning.
In some cases a video may be removed for the safety and privacy of the user who posted the video, due to a third-party privacy complaint, court order or other unintended issues. In these instances, the user will not receive a strike and the account will not be penalized.
How do copyright strikes and community guidelines strikes interact?
YouTube enforces a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of subscribers who are repeat infringers. This involves a copyright strike count completely separate from Community Guidelines strikes. Please note that unlike Community Guidelines strikes which expire after six months, copyright strikes do not expire. A copyright strike can only be resolved if the user submits a counter-notification and prevails in that process. Please note that there may be adverse legal consequences to filing a false counter-notification. DISCLAIMER: WE ARE NOT YOUR ATTORNEYS, AND THE INFORMATION WE PRESENT HERE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. WE PRESENT THIS INFORMATION FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

Has this always been YouTube's policy?
No, much of this is new. We are currently revamping our policy implementation for greater transparency and a better user experience. We will keep you updated as we make further changes.Last update: April 9, 2008.
Hundreds of thousands of videos are uploaded to YouTube each day and because of the enormous volume of content, YouTube says it is impossible to pre-screen each video before it is posted on the site. YouTube largely depends on users to enforce its community standards. (Hmmmm...... which users are you listening to?)

(large bombs represent 25 videos, small bombs represent 1)
Good results, yes, but there are some things to be concerned about as well...
Bomber Girl is very pleased to be associated with Free Republic
and would love to hear your thoughts on the matter!
If you're new at this, we'd love to have you working with us. Here are the steps for flagging videos:
(H/T to rawcatslyentist):
#1) If you don’t have a YouTube account, go sign up for one. You don’t have to use it for anything but this.
#2) Click one of the links below, let the video start and then click the pause button on the player so you don’t have to actually watch the propaganda.
#3) Below the video, click “Flag as inappropriate.”
#4) Choose “promotes hatred or violence”
#5) Where it says “please indicate the group attacked” choose National Origin.
#6) Where it says “provide additional information.....” type or copy/paste in the below statement.
Providing services to terrorists violates executive orders 12947 and 13224.
So — you got game? If you do, freepmail StarCMC to get on the pinglist -
typically one ping per day - and start flagging! And THANK YOU!
Not a problem at all (except my frustration at the stubborn list).
I feel like I’m actually doing something here!
I hear ya!! On all counts!!
Dude, I was being sarcastic. I appreciate the information. Sorry, I should have added the /sarc tag.
Gotcha!
Must quibble. Star is the prettiest dude I ever met...
WHEW!! Thank goodness!! I HATE confrontation! :-) Which is why I weaseled out with “Or am I misreading...” LOL!!!
HA HA HA!!! Thank you very much kind sir!! :-)
We’re all family here. LOL
#2, #3, and user/loser mo22mam9’s (12) videos flagged!...:-)
Hope everyone has a great weekend!...:-)
It's up, a NEW MONTH, AUGUST IS FINALLY HERE. Check out StarCMC's thread for our great results.
D!ckhead mo22mam9 is down to 10 videos. Aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww-yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhh!
They appear to be knowingly committing treason against the U.S. by allowing these terror recruiting videos. If our government worked properly, Youtube’s operators would already be behind bars or on Death Row.

Mornin' fellow Keyboard Warriors!
With Star off to a family reunion, here is a "the kids are at grandma's so I slept in late, no frills, plain jihadjane, weekend project ping list post". If you look at the numbers from yesterday (GREAT START TO THE MONTH, BTW), it appears that YouTube may be throwing us a bone. Being one who likes to take advantage of opportunities, I thought we might try and do some weekend mop up duty.
The below users have all had 5 or more videos removed for violation of YT terms of service. They have not, however, been suspended as they should be. What we would like you to do is to flag each video and paste the statement under each link into the flagging area. Flag the videos as promotes hatred or violence. For group attacked choose, Religion, Ethnic Origin or National Origin,. Paste the sentence into the "provide additional information" section and then click "flag this video." Most have multiple videos still up so the same sentence would apply if you choose to flag more than one from each profile. Let's see if we can't get these harabist, islamo-fascist, terrorist supporting pieces of trash off youtube!
P.S. Here are some instructions on how to SMACKDOWN terrorist videos.
The Super Stubborn ListThis list will remain up until these videos are down. For whatever reason these particular videos have staying power. No matter how often they are flagged, they just stay up. So I figured we could flag them several times each -- not every day by each person, but each of us maybe once a week -- and maybe YouTube will get the point.... I will add a new "stubborn" video to replace each one we get removed!! We'll keep 5 or 6 on the list.

omahti is suspended!!! That little corner of YouTube has been cleaned out!
Here is another video for number three on the list, since there is still lots of grime to be mopped up in his little corner:
