We may also terminate your channel or account after a single case of severe abuse, or when the channel is dedicated to a policy violation. We may terminate your channel or account for repeated violations of the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. If your content violates this policy, we will remove the content and send you an email to let you know. If you violate a different policy after completing the training, you will get another warning. However, if the same policy is violated within that 90 day window, the warning may not expire and your channel may be given a strike. You will have the option to take a policy training to allow the warning to expire after 90 days.

For example, we don’t allow sharing a minor’s school name or school ID for malicious purposes. We don’t allow content that targets someone with prolonged insults or slurs based on their physical traits or protected group status. We use the phone number to send you a verification code. You may also be asked to verify your account when you sign up. We’ll send a verification code by text or voice call to that phone number.

The 90 day period starts from when the training is completed, not when the warning is issued. If this is your first time violating our Community Guidelines, you’ll likely get a warning with no penalty to your channel. Note that violative URLs posted within the video itself or in the video’s metadata may result in the video being removed. This policy applies to videos, video descriptions, comments, live streams, and any other YouTube product or feature. Don’t post content on YouTube if it fits any of the descriptions noted below. If specific threats are made against you and you feel unsafe, report it directly to your local law enforcement agency.

If the primary purpose is educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic in nature, we may allow content that includes harassment. This can include clickable URLs, verbally directing users to other sites in video and other forms. Note that these policies also apply to external links in your content. Instructions for reporting violations of our Community Guidelines are available here.

Verify your YouTube account

If we can’t verify that a link you post is safe, we may remove the link. If you find many videos or comments that you would like to report, you can report the channel. We may prevent repeat offenders from taking policy trainings in the future.

Keep in mind that we take a stricter approach on content that targets minors. We also don’t allow other harmful behaviors, like threats or doxxing. If you haven’t, you can request a new code. We also make sure the phone number eaub.info is linked to no more than 2 channels per year.
