YouTube revised the strikes warning system and encourage attention and policy reconfirmation before '3 strike'

YouTube announced on February 19, 2019 "We have revised the method of warning of violations against community guidelines for creators." There have been various penalties for creators who committed violations of Community Guidelines on YouTube, and the "3 Strike System" was received which receives disposition of account suspension when receiving 3 strikes. In the revision applicable from February 25, 2019, the contents of the 3 strike system and penalty will be changed.

New YouTube Community Guidelines Strikes System - YouTube


YouTube has noted three points in revising the community guidelines this time. The first is "clear policy"

"Consistency of strikes warning"

And "The influence on the channel is clearly indicated".

According to YouTube staff, 98% of users are not breaking Google's community guidelines, even if they break the rules, there are very few intentional things.

From February 25, 2019 onwards, a one-time "attention" will be displayed for channels that violate the guidelines. No penalty will be imposed at this attention stage.

At the same time, a page explaining YouTube's policy in detail is presented and creators are given opportunities to learn what actions lead to guideline violations.

In addition, the creator clearly shows what kind of violation the guidelines are for why, and it seems that the method of requesting reconsideration will be explained at the same time. If a new violation is made despite being warned, a new 3-strike system will be applied along with a striking warning. Please note that attention will not be reset even after 90 days.

And with the new 3-strike system the penalty is consistent. Until now, there were disjoint penalties such as "Frozen live streaming for 90 days for the first violation, Freeze uploading new movies for two weeks" for the second time. However, in this penalty system, there are cases where "what violated" and "what is frozen" are not engaged, there were criticisms from the user.

The new 3 strike system devised there is as follows.
· Once you receive the first warning, the ability to upload all new content, including live streaming and activities, to YouTube will be suspended for a week.
· Upon receiving the second warning within 90 days from the first warning, the function to upload new content to YouTube will be suspended for 2 weeks.
· When you receive the third warning within 90 days from the second warning, the account will be completely suspended and the channel will be deleted.

The Community Guidelines page clearly summarizes what kind of content violates it. Furthermore, I will actively notify PC browsers and smartphones so that you can see at a glance what "I got warnings" and "Which guidelines caught me?" At a glance.
