In September 2019, YouTube introduced the `` 3 strike system '' as a warning method for creators who violate community guidelines.

However, if the same policy is violated again within 90 days, the video in question will be deleted and the author will be issued a new warning.

YouTube claims that the 3 strike system itself has not changed, but until now it was ``warning if you violated the community guidelines'', but in the new system, ``if you violate the policy XX included in the community guidelines, Warning', warnings are issued for each policy, so it can be said that there is more grace before video posting is paused or the channel is frozen.
