Hi,
About a month ago I had 2 videos removed and received 1 community guidelines strike (my first) on my account. The strike turned out to be for adding tags to my description. For the longest time on YouTube, every other video you saw had paragraphs of tags added to the description. Apparently there is a rule against this hidden at the bottom of a terms of service page about accounts. I didn't even know about this and would have removed them immediately if I was warned. I contacted YouTube and after a while of convincing, they reinstated one of the videos that was doing really well. I don't care about the other video, but the strike is what's killing me. I lost some of my account features, and quite frankly, it's bogus. There are people doing all sorts of illegal things on YouTube, and they go after me for putting too many tags. Is there anyone at YouTube that I can contact that will hear me out?
Thanks
