Aaron's youtube suspended???

[Sephiroth]

As I said... Aarons youtube account appears to be suspended! All his vids are gone apparently due to terms of use violation???

Aaron, what happened?! Can we help?

1. Youtube will suspend you if your movies are flagged x amount of times as being inappropriate.

2. Youtube will suspend you if a third party has notified Youtube that you have submitted copyright material. Usually this is accompanied by an email.

Figures!

When I had my original youtube account RadiantEnrg, everything was fine...I could upload and it would process and post in about 3min total!!...well, I used to belong to a Skype Channel called "Water Fuel Cell" and it was rumored that there were...well, lets say MIB inside of it. And, sure enough after posting links to some of my interesting videos of a common circuit that could be tricked to resonate with a microwave oven transformer and create sustained plasma discharges for around 9watts and melt steel and fuse silcon...well I got flagged..it went from 3min to 2hrs to post videos. People were like, "it's just your connection"...so I deleted my account and made a new one...sure enough back to lightning fast uploads and posts...went and posted a link in the channel...same thing, so now I am on my 3rd youtube account.
So long story short...youtube moderates/censors videos...not just lewd or inappropriate material...but, OU material...but, only if they are tipped off, so likely someone "higher up" didn't like what Aaron was sharing.

I am being Censored

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
that page is what I'm filling out in regards to account suspension.

I AM BEING CENSORED

or

AM I BEING CENSORED?

All my videos were my own creation and contained no copyrighted material and any copyright is implied to be my own.

I violated no terms and conditions.

If anyone feels like they want to contact youtube about this:

YouTube, LLC
901 Cherry Ave.
San Bruno, CA 94066
USA
Phone: +1 650-253-0000
Fax: +1 650-253-0001

Or maybe click this link and fill out the form, I don't know.
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I believe I am being censored because my vids don't violate any copyrights and are not inappropriate.

RE: Supspended.

Hi,

I have sent youtube a message about this, I wonder if someone wrote a nasty letter against you to get your videos down?

I have a friend, qiman13 who has had no history of putting up any
copywritten material. I wish to know why his account was suspended, as
this is a great shock to him, and me.

Thank you for your time.

I sent them an email but then I came across this in the help section...

Abusive Users: Suspended friend

obviously to put people off complaining! Well tough luck youtube. I'm complaining!

[jibbguy]

Done. It must be a mistake of some kind... It makes no sense.

[Aaron]

youtube refuses to communicate?

Here is a direct link to youtube contact page:
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I called them and unfortunately it is impossible to talk to anyone...that is what they told me. It is for tech support and all anyone can do is fill out a form.

Remember. If this is the case, those responsible are worried that you've or we've (energetic forum participants) touched on something that is big. They want it to stop.
A move like this is done to end user attention to your work. Secondly this move can (if you allow it) distract you and shift your focus.

If they are worried enough to do this Aaron, super! Means you're onto something . What ever you where doing, keep doing it .

Here is a similar case:

Two well-known critics of Scientology have had their user accounts on the video sharing website YouTube suspended. The YouTube accounts of both Tory Christman and Mark Bunker were suspended this week. In a statement to Wikinews, YouTube explained why accounts are suspended, but did not specifically state why these particular accounts were suspended. Neither Christman nor Bunker received a notice or explanation from YouTube as to why their accounts were suspended.
Full story here

"If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, "Here comes number seventy-one!"

Aaron,


you may want to try and spread your videos around, there are several places available i would first try metacafe. Shiva is going to try and get in touch with her friend over in europe and see if it would be ok to have him host your entire collection. Hes very busy so it may take a couple of days to get the info back and forth. But thats why we spread ours around to 3 different areas. i surely hope you get this straightened out and back up and running and you get some sort of answer from someone.

Aaron,

I know you have much to do, but ..... how much has been lost ? Can it be somehow repaired and should we put our trust in YouTube, or any of these video sites? It's strange by using a screen name one complaint can effect "all" your downloads ? It appears to easy for this to have happened I have made a complaint, hopefully enough of us may make a difference.

Best of Luck my Friend,
Glen

[thedude]

ridiculous !

ah man. Aaron your videos are awesome. You are among a very short list of people on you tube who's video material is precious to me.

Now i really wish i would have dubbed all your vids over to my youtube clone. ModVid - Watch and Learn TV I made it myself and i own the hosting rights as well as the domain name. I'm going to upgrade the flash player to something newer too. It has a youtube grabber once your a member where you can punch in the url of a video on youtube and it will download and add it for you.

I'm not just pandering for traffic to my site here. This is important if you want people to see your work and hopefully spread some awareness of new technology that we need! Please upload your video material to my site, and if not there make sure you have it uploaded else where.

I find it outrageous that they could do this! Not very pleased with google right now.

Thedude is not happy, not happy at all. Thedude hereby declares to completely upgrade his site and make it nice for all to enjoy!

Aaron drop me an email if you need too

ill send you the username and password to the Panacea FTP and they can go straight back up with your comments beside them.

we have our own back up server and three different accounts.
Haha , what a desperate move by them.

Ash

ps.

FROM NOW ON FREE ENERGY PEOPLE ETC CANNOT TRUST YOU TUBE OR GOOGLE VIDEO, PLEASE DOWN LOAD THE VIDEOS IF UPLOADED THERE AS A BACK UP.
