@TeamYouTube I’m asking for a genuine manual review of my terminated channel. The channel was completely empty and had never uploaded any videos, posted any comments, shared any links, or published any other content. It had no policy violations, strikes, harmful content, or previous enforcement issues.
The channel was also not connected to any other terminated or restricted channel, person, phone number, network, account, or activity involved in violations. I have never used this channel to evade enforcement, bypass YouTube policies, or circumvent a previous termination.
You also asked me to provide additional information through private messages, which I sent as requested. I still haven’t received any response or update.
Because the channel was completely empty and had no violations or activity that could have violated YouTube’s policies, I strongly believe this termination may have been made in error. Please conduct one final thorough manual review of my account, verify the actual reason for the termination, and review the information I already provided. I respectfully ask you to restore my channel if this was an enforcement mistake.
@NickNimmin I’d really appreciate it if you could help me understand what might have happened with my YouTube channel. It was completely empty—no videos, Shorts, posts, or comments. I also never shared or used the channel with anyone else, and there was no shared IP or MAC address with other users as far as I know. The channel was terminated for Spam, Deceptive Practices & Scams, and I still don’t understand what specifically triggered this decision. If you have any idea why this could happen or what I should do next, I’d truly appreciate your advice.
Could you please tell me exactly what activity or content on my channel was considered a violation? My channel was completely empty, so I would really appreciate knowing what specifically triggered the Spam, Deceptive Practices & Scams enforcement.@TeamYouTube
Thank you for the update. I understand that the decision has remained in place after the second review.
I wanted to provide one additional piece of information that may or may not be relevant: I remember using a VPN on my device around that time. I do not know whether this had any connection to the enforcement, but I am concerned that it may have contributed to an incorrect risk signal.
My channel was completely empty, and I did not engage in spam, deceptive practices, scams, or abusive activity. Could a human specialist please verify whether there were any security or account-level signals that may have caused my channel to be incorrectly associated with suspicious activity?
I would sincerely appreciate a final human review of my specific case.@TeamYouTube
I’m respectfully asking for your help with my terminated YouTube channel. My channel was completely empty when it was terminated — no videos, Shorts, livestreams, posts, comments, links, or any other content. It had no strikes, warnings, or previous policy violations, and there was no activity involving spam, fake engagement, scams, deceptive practices, or any other policy violations.
The channel was not created to evade a previous termination, was not connected to any terminated or restricted channel, and was not part of any coordinated network of channels. It was not used to bypass YouTube’s enforcement systems or engage in abusive activity. It also had no connection to any other channel through an IP or MAC address for the purpose of evading enforcement.
Please, if you can help me, I would sincerely appreciate your assistance in getting a genuine human review of the actual history of my channel and the specific reason for its termination. I’m only asking for a fair review of my case.@TeamYouTube
@NickNimmin@TeamYouTube Yes, I did. I contacted them, but they asked me for some information via DM. However, it has been more than 10 days, and I still haven’t received any response or clarification.
Day 10‼️‼️‼️
@TeamYouTube I’m respectfully requesting a genuine and thorough manual review of my terminated YouTube channel. I believe the termination was made in error, and I would sincerely appreciate it if a human reviewer could examine the actual circumstances of my account rather than relying solely on an automated enforcement decision.
The channel was completely empty at the time it was terminated. It had never uploaded a video, Short, livestream, post, comment, link, or any other form of content. There was no activity on the channel that could have violated YouTube’s policies. It had no policy violations, no strikes, no warnings, no harmful content, and no previous enforcement history.
The channel was also not created or used to evade a previous termination or enforcement action. It was not connected to another terminated or restricted channel or to any activity involving policy violations. I have never used this channel to bypass YouTube’s enforcement systems, circumvent a previous termination, or engage in deceptive or abusive activity.
What makes this especially confusing is that the channel had no published content or meaningful activity at all. I therefore respectfully ask that the reason for the termination be verified against the actual activity and history of the channel. If the termination was triggered by an automated system or an incorrect association, I ask that this be carefully reviewed by a human.
I also followed your instructions and provided the additional information requested through private messages. However, I still have not received a response or any meaningful update regarding my case.
I am not asking for special treatment or an exception to YouTube’s policies. I am simply asking for my case to be reviewed accurately and fairly based on the actual history of the channel. Since the channel was completely empty and had no violations or content that could have violated the policies, I strongly believe there may have been an enforcement error.
Please conduct one final, thorough manual review of my channel, verify the specific reason for the termination, review the information I already provided, and restore the channel if the termination was made in error.
I would genuinely appreciate your help and a proper human review of this case.@TeamYouTube@YouTubeCreators@YouTubeLiaison@reneritchie@Google@sundarpichai@YouTube

@TeamYouTube Please take another look at my case. My channel had:
• No videos or Shorts
• No posts
• No comments
• No links
• No uploaded content of any kind
• No public activity
• No previous content violations
• No other channels involved in violations
• No other banned channels
I had only created and prepared the channel — profile picture, banner, and description — because I was getting ready to start publishing my own content.
The channel was terminated under the Spam, Deceptive Practices, and Scams policy before I even started publishing.
Please, I’m not asking for special treatment. I’m asking for one genuine human review of my case. Please don’t send me another automated response. I just want a real person to look at the facts and tell me what happened.
If this was a mistake, please give me a chance to have it corrected. 🙏 Please DM please 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
@TeamYouTube Hi @TeamYouTube, I’m still waiting for your response via DM. I’ve already provided all the information you requested and would really appreciate an update on my case. Please check your DMs and get back to me. Thank you.
Hello @TeamYouTube,
My brand-new channel, DadJourneyStories, was suspended for “deceptive practices,” but I believe this was a mistake.
The channel was completely empty. I had never uploaded a video, posted a comment, published any content, or engaged in any public activity on the channel. It was a newly created channel with no content or activity.
I submitted an appeal, but unfortunately, it was rejected. I respectfully ask you to manually review the suspension and the channel’s history, as I believe the enforcement may have been applied in error.
I would greatly appreciate a human review of my case and reconsideration of the suspension.
