YouTube Now Allows Creators to Remove Community Guideline Strikes
YouTube has announced a new policy allowing creators to remove warnings for community guideline violations by taking educational training courses.
This update marks the first time YouTube has provided a standard process for getting warnings removed.
Here’s What’s Changing
YouTube issues strikes against videos and channels that violate policies like spam, scams, violent/graphic content, and copyright infringement.
After receiving a strike, a channel may lose its ability to publish fully monetized videos. After multiple strikes, YouTube may terminate the channel.
YouTube recognizes that receiving strikes can be disruptive, especially for creators who depend on advertising income.
Previously, creators were given one warning for the lifetime of their channel. Under the new system, they will receive individual warnings based on the specific policies they violate.
