Felt like sharing a story with you guys. It's a true story about my old account on YouTube. My old account was M1CR0X and I uploaded Sonic X dub comparison videos (never watched the series, but despised 4Kids). So, I had about 5 "episodes," one which had over 100,000 hits and one that was about a half hour long. My YT life was going fine until September 9, 2008 (completely coincidental with the 9th anniversary of the North American release of the Dreamcast). Supposedly, TMS Entertainment (the creators of Sonic X) found my videos and requested for them to be removed. On YouTube, if you get three "strikes," or violations of Terms of Use, your account was suspended (BANNED). I had about 5 videos of comparisons. Do the math. Although I was banned, some people had my videos and uploaded them again. My half hour long one is still on Veoh.

Please share any stories of YouTube if you have any or comment.

Shouldn't they have given you a chance to remove them first?

My friend got the same crap as you did. She made some Naruto AMV’s and youtube took them down because they breached copyright which I think is a load of bull, she and other people who make AMV’s don’t make any money or anything from these they are just showing off there skills.

I myself got a warning from youtube when I posted a video of myself playing the Japanese Resident Evil 5 demo which I got from bit torrent long before the demo came over here. They asked to remove it because it breached copyright yet its still up there.

I wished they did, but they just take 'em down without warning.

I tried uploading a Sonic animation I made once and it never worked. I forgot what it said, but it never uploaded anything, and I tried a couple of times too. Definitely wasn't a big file. Do moderators of YouTube check videos as they are uploaded??

I don't think so. Maybe your video format wasn't supported (then again, that's pretty hard to do. you've got, like, 10 choices). YouTube has really improved with video upload, though.

Hmm, maybe I'll try uploading it again at some point, that is if I still have my original video file.

Do you know why? It's because the mods on Youtube have so much crap to remove here that they don't even take the time to apply the rules they THEMSELVES CREATED - thus they don't even warn or something, and the b&hammer falls on you drop dead.

Rule #9 of the Internet:
There are no real rules about moderation either — enjoy your ban.

Despite the fact I am one and this isn't aimed at the rest of the staff here, most mods are right asses. They abuse their power and basically just ban people to piss them off then strut about like they own the net.

Makes you wonder how some Anime is still up and AMV's for that fact.
