I got a pop-up tonight on YouTube, where they said they have removed a comment I made(and my account may be deleted if I continue to post like this), but then they DON'T say WHAT video I made the comment on, nor do they quote the comment I made, so how the hell do I know what I did wrong and where?

I've spent the last half hour or so, in my YT account, trying to find the comment, or a community guideline flag, or a report(from another user), or a strike on my account etc.....

I'd love to know what it was they were upset about, but then after the pop-up, there does not seem to be ANY way to actually find out what it is that they are upset about, cos nothing is logged in my account activity, none of my comments seem to be removed(despite what the pop-up said), no other user has logged a complaint about any of my posts, there are no strikes on my channel.....

WTF, YouTube?!?!!!
Anyone else seen this?

I just want to know what comment on what video, that they were unhappy with so I can perhaps address it, but after the pop-up, they make that information completely unavailable.  

Anyone know somewhere within my account I should be looking to FIND this information?

Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!

It sounds a little like phishing o whatever they call it, s it like someone leaving a message on my phone that mu widowz has an error and the need me to connect my computer to the internet so they can fix it, I knew it was crap as I didn't have windows.  


If you have proof that what you posted (or not) is within the guidelines then you don't have any problems, and it might just be some dodgy antics wanting you to click on something you with you hadn't.

Cant prove right or wrong at the moment but seems a bit suspicious.

youtube has filters that look for comments that have trigger words and they will just disappear.

When you get a pop-up like this it means someone has reported a comment from you and it has been upheld.

Irritating tht it is that you do not get a chance to rebutt or face your accuser, you just have to roll with it - it's a walled garden and if you don't like the way they do things then you can stop using their platform... although this is done under the guise of "advertisers [money] will stop spending if we have comments like yours" which is possible at least partly true, YT is run by SJWs so do not expect freedom of speech and it is too big to hurt by not using.

Thanks for the replies.

I just would like to know WHAT comment upset them, on WHAT video - then I could perhaps address it, but they don't tell you EITHER of those vital bits of information, so how are you SUPPOSED to deal with it in a way to make them happy? (rhetorical)

Sigh.....

Oh well.

may be a silly question,  buy what does SJW's mean ??

  Wikipedia said  

Social Justice Warrior is a pejorative label applied to bloggers, activists and commentators who are prone to engage in lengthy and hostile debates against others on a range of issues concerning social injustice, identity politics and political correctness. In contrast to the social justice blogosphere at large, the stereotype of a social justice warrior is distinguished by the use of overzealous and self-righteous rhetorics, as well as appealing to emotions over logic and reason.

Origin
The earliest known use of the term "social justice warrior" as a pejorative comes from the Blogspot blog Social Justice Warriors: Do Not Engage,[2] launched on November 6th, 2009, which identifies SJWs as people who "rage, mob and dox in the belief that promoting identitarianism will make a better world."
