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.
For more information on our copyright policies, please see here.
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?)
July 2008 Results:
34 Suspensions
With those 34 suspensions, 1224 videos were removed from YouTube:
(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!
I don’t know how flowee escaped the zapping. I just now submitted a contact YouTube form on him for spamming with all those keywords in the video description section. We’ll get him, one way or the other.
We also knocked down the Bollywood person’s other video. They had two videos this morning, just one now. Also, I didn’t notice their background image earlier, but it’s terrible. There’s a link at the very bottom of the page for reporting background image violations.

A good day’s work.
Thank you for the reminder ref image background.
Done.
These people reek of evil.
I don’t believe Gnat Masterson sleeps - he has another full set ready for tomorrow.
Thank you GM - thank you ALL!
“We also knocked down the Bollywood person’s other video.”
Yes we did, we did! A sniper video which we posted at one of the other Corps sites - http://stop-internet-terrorists.blogspot.com/
Five new videos went up there today. Two down so far including the above.
A note here - all but five videos put on that site have been SmackedDown this month. Much like the GNATS - a slimy breed of their own and we don’t - like - them!
Mornin every one!
Celebrimbor advises he will be a little later with GMasterson’s list for today - I thought I’d fill in with a couple of User/Losers if you don’t mind?

Thank you all for your patience - and your time - and your enthusiasm - and your dedication!
And have a great day!
the Gnat hunter does sleep. I am working on a new list for all to be presented next weekend by you and Cele. I am a lucky dawg.
Thank you for the morning targets. The second one does not like having his logos identified, and is deleting comments. That’s fine and dandy, as all of us can identify those logos as we flag. It’s gratifying to see he’s scared.
Smacked Down 8/31!!!

Mornin' Everyone!
Still on the road, so this will have to be a down and dirty, get to SMACKING ping list. Links go to video pages for users. If it says this user has no videos, then we have squashed the GNAT. So, break out the Raid, 'cause we got GNATS!
P.S. Here are some instructions on how to SMACKDOWN terrorist videos.
GNATS!!!
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.

Hi Michelle.
I’m a new member to the site and a big fan, and right now I’m experiencing a brief (and rare) moment of downtime. I am a member of the Louisiana Army National Guard, and we are up to our nostrils in preparations for Hurricane Gustav. There is a lot going on right now in south Louisiana, but mostly we are watching this monster bear down on us and hoping for the best. I wanted you to know, as a soldier who also had to suffer through the cluster that was Katrina, that we are 1000% better prepared (God Bless Bobby Jindal!!), and that while hoping for the best, we are completely prepared for the worst and ready to do what needs to be done to ensure the safety of the people of this state.
I am sure, as a fan of your site, that the vast majority of your fantastic commenters are keeping us in their thoughts and prayers. Most of us are very aware of how sick the rest of the nation must be to hear the namby-pamby cry baby stuff that still comes out of the New Orleans area three years after Katrina, but I would ask for prayer and support for my soldiers, who have nothing to do with politics and who show up and serve whenever called upon.
God Bless America and God Bless Louisiana!!!
New Orleans is under mandatory evacuation orders this morning. Here’s a disaster preparedness round-up from Glenn Reynolds. And Weather Nerd and hurricane blogger Brendan Loy is tracking the latest developments.
Per Gov. Bobby Jindal’s order at 4am this morning: “As directed by Governor Jindal, Louisiana State Police will initiate contraflow at 4:00 AM Sunday morning. For the first time in history, the entire Louisiana coastal population will be evacuated due to the impending threat of Hurricane Gustav.”
eks87 lost his one video while I was on his account! Yaaaaaaaaay!

Mornin' Fellow Toilers!
Since we are on holiday today, there will be one more ping list for August. The new September thread will start tomorrow. Let's take full advantage of this last chance to add to our collection of SMACKDOWNS!
P.S. Here are some instructions on how to SMACKDOWN terrorist videos.
Each of the four videos reads -
The Nuclear Jihad, The jihadi post 9-11 Strike.
Looks like a threat of violence to me. Suppose YouTube cares about that?
