Has anybody here given access to a network, and later discovered they had messed with your account?

When we were accepted by our network, all of our videos turned public (we have lots of unlisted videos), videos with comments turned off got turned back on, and some of our account settings changed. I'm pretty sure everything just kind of "defaulted" (not necessarily anyone actually going into our account and changing stuff). But it was quite a headache for us and caused a bit of trouble because "Notify subscribers of new uploads" had somehow turned off and we didn't notice it for about 3 weeks... :confused:
 
So is the conclusion:

Granting access = You are at the mercy of the Network's "Moral Standard" (...but if they would want to, they could really mess up your channel)

If so, what did they do?
What can you do about it?

Nah never hsd hsppened to me and that would be quite weird for it to happen
 
When I let SocialBlade access my channel, they subscribed me to certain people and even unsubbed me from some people. If I unsubbed from someone they subbed me to, I would automatically get re-subbed to them. Once I got my rejection letter, I quickly revoked SocialBlade's access and haven't had any issues since then. No other network has done that to me.

Really? When I partnered with them all they did was claim all my videos, and they had asked my permission to do so. (that was a huge time savor, I had over 100) I was already subbed to all of their hub channels and Urgo, so that may be why I did not experience this. Networks should not even have the capability to do that. I thought all you grant them access to do is claim videos and see your stats.
 
Never had this happen either, there is no way ( that I know of) that they can access your account without your permission and thats to views stats. To get into your account they would need to ask for your pass.
