Suddenly I have to Provide information (!)

Hi, I read this forums from a while ago, but just joined today.
I have a youtube channel since 2005, but I started to monetize like, 2 years ago. Everything is good, I dont make big money but it helps a little.
But now, suddenly, Youtube is asking me to provide information, like, proof, authorization, license, whatever... I'm uploading only videos of Space Engineers, it is a game, and you can monetize this content and you can provide the Terms of Use from them. But, I know, you know, and they know, that it will never going to be approved for monetization, right? it will stay under review for ever, and then, rejected, as always.
Anyways, I'm sure this is not an automatic thing, somebody just pressed a button, to screw me up or something.
Is there a way to contact any support for this problem? I searched and searched, and probably there is no way.
Any help, please? Thanks! :/
 
It could be the songs you're using in your newer videos from sound cloud. The system might be trying to ascertain ownership of said songs and since you dont provide proof license of songs they demonetize.
 
HI, thanks for answering.
The music I use is totally royalty free and Creative Common Attribution 3.0 whatever..., the artist only ask for credits in the description, which I absolutely do, because it is an awesome music that i really like. The Game is fine to monetize, it is written in the Terms of Use even.
I also heard that somebody can just flag your videos, or start to click all the ads and it activates an alert or something, not sure if this is true.
So, I really dont know what is going on here :/
 
no, just the symbol (!) I also did a test and uploaded a 2 minutes of black screen with some letters on it, guess what... they need proof... is like my channel is marked or something, so I cant monetize right away, and have to confirm everything, I have no idea why

I think you were either randomly selected or someone reported your channel being a d**k. I remember youtube saying they were implementing a system that will pick channels and require info for proof. Gather all your documents, and links to the actual TOS when you provide proof, it probably wont let up until you successfully monetize several videos.

are you sure is random? it happen to someone else before? and if it was a report from some troll, they can tell me who was it?
How long it will take to get back to the normal state?
