YouTube.com Tickling Video Clips Problem - NO CLIP

[jmsdarke]

I'm posting this message in this forum because the people (tickle video producers) I need to write to are here. I'm requesting that the moderators please let this message remain.

Over the past week or two, I've ventured into posting my preview tickle clips to youtube.com and had a great experience. My clips had lots of hits and some comments and a few subscribers.

Everything was going well until yesterday when I received a notice of rejection due to "inappropriate content". This is with hundreds of tickling video clips on youtube for more than a year. Today I received another such email from youtube on a second one of my clips notifying me that if I have one more violation, my account will be permanently terminated. Well, I got a third notice about 10 minutes ago and my account has been terminated.

As bizarre as this sounds, I'm inclined to just let this go and simply visit youtube to glean stuff just like any other tickle perv.

The only reason I share all this here is to ask, has any other tickling producer experienced such a series of events with youtube?

My current theory is that someone may have clicked the "Flag as inappropriate" on 3 of my clips to shut me down. If that's so, it will be as ineffective as launching a terror attack on anyone with resolve.

So if you've experienced something similar, please share. Together, we should formulate creative strategies to respond to such interesting events.

In looking for tickling clips after you mentioned it, a number of them came up as removed due to inappropriate conduct. It wasn't just you. Somebody was up to something.

You Tube Clips

I for one love all the tickling clips put on yourtube by members of the tickling community. I can only think since it is viewed by many others besides just us ticklers that someone is offended by it or think we are all perv's. I see nothing wrong with having a tickling fetish, and their are even ticklees out there in the world that enjoy being tickled. I wish we could find out who if marking these and inappropriate and give that person a piece of our mind.

There are 2 other options:
1) Google videos Google video
2)Yahoo videos Yahoo Video 😉

And now my clips4sale.com store login is disabled. The support staff is giving me a hand with this one.

I could swear I just saw a malevolent gremlin scoot by.

I hope that's all it is, and not lousy tactics by a rival company. My first thought, but maybe I'm too cynical.

 

[dtrell]

well i tried google video and it seems that so far only the gay video producers have found that site so far, if you search on tickling. hopefully the straight ones will start posting more on there.

Great advoce

Great Advice RAJEE and DTRELL I SAY ITS ABOUT TIME WE INVADE THEM

It happened to me today too. One of my vids got booted off. "Ticklish Stewardess" and there obviously isn't anything inappropriate about it.
Thanks for the heads up.

There used to be some great clips on you-tube with dogs licking the bound girls' feet - oh so good - and suddenly they're gone - oh so sad - I used to type in 'animal tickle' and they would come up - but alas no more.

One of mine was also removed as inappropriate. Hilarious, - it is this one:
http://www.ticklingforum.com/showthread.php?t=79778

Jordan rolled in a black blanket - only nude skin - her feet and her face. So I thought, that I should not put the link of our store in the description in future. Maybe that was disturbing - I don't know. Or someone hit the button accidently - actually liked to click on favorites.

When I read, that one of the videos got some honors, it might be possible, that other people than tickling enthusiasts watched them and qualified them as pervert.

But ... let us think of something: We are a strong community with a lot of members. If more and more tickling videos start to vanish from youtube, we put up a campaign, select a certain theme for example dogs or cats, and mark every video as inappropriate. If the youtube-masters have to look trough all these requests, they have less time to remove tickling vids.

btw - video-google also has rules. I opened an account there but did never upload a video, as it wouldn't fit into the google rules. If you combine it with a business, it is forbidden. And as every clips4sale-shop is business - waang ..

 

[rajee]

Maybe this thread will help:
Upload hosts I've used Rapidshare, Mega Upload, Sexuploader, Zupload, Yousendit, File Factory and others.

If you want to upload them to TMF and Tickle Theater but their too big, send me a P.M. or reply here and I will split them into smaller clips, if you want. 🙂

This does not surprise me at all. During the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed youtube being mentioned several times in the main stream media. Just the other day, that “lonely girl” (I believe that’s the name) made foxnews (and i said to myself, "oh crap") and the actress who plays her was on the Tonight Show, so I knew it was just a matter of time before the morality police started surfing youtube and complaining......At least, that’s my guess as to what currently appears to be happening.

 

[ticklefiend3000]

More of my 2 cents, and its probably worth less!!

I think I would have to agree, the removal of multiple producers clips and disabling their accounts seems to be too widespread for a disgruntled or idiotic competitor to do it, and being a producer myself I have found nothing but goodwill with the other producers in the community so its hard to imagine its one of our own doing it. However if it is, I strongly believe in Karma so they will get theirs.

I know we are technically competitors, but I feel that almost every clips4sale store has it's own particular flavor and style, and so have never felt their was true competition, more of each of us trying to find our niche in the market.

I, for one, hope the producers don't leave youtube. That would be allowing whatever jerk is doing this to win. If their efforts don't work, they'll give up. If they do, they'll feel they've won their little victory and try again with ever more and more mainstream stuff, until soon they'll be complaining about clothing that is too tight or whatever else "offends" them.

Unfortunately we don't have much of a choice, all our accounts are being disabled and we seem to have no reasonable recourse. I've already decided I wouldn't go back even if they let me. My main reason being, that when I inquired about what this supposed "inappropriate content" was they sent me a reply with a bunch of "usual" problem answers, and THE FIRST option, was "How to close an account".

So basically you say you have a probelm, and they say "well if you want to close your account heres how". this to me indicates a lack to work with/listen to/ consider any issue their users may have. If they don't want to help us, then they don't want us, so lets not hang around there. I do customer service for my day job, and if everytime I got a complaint I said "well if you want to close your account heres how" not only would I have no job, but my company would have no customers, if youtube wants to commit cyber-suicide I say let them!

 

[rajee]

Yet, my Just for Laughs clip and my Kely Ripa being tickled is untouched. Technically, they aren't my clips, I just cut out vidclips from the tv shows.
Go figure. Those pathetic producers that have products that are poor have to eliminate their competition in order for their sales to increase a tiny bit. 😛oke3: 😡

 

[Brock Samson]

This is totally unacceptable. I believe that simply giving up is not an option. We must go back to YouTube and show them that we are people who are not so easily swayed, and that we will be heard. Or at least, our content will be viewed. It's kind of hard to sound inspirational when it comes to the topic of the internet but you all get the point. I for one will not stand by and let this happen. With a little research, I believe we can find out who to contact about this, without getting those standard robotic responses the help system automatically sends us as a response to a question. We've got to try something. Death before dishonor, and all that jazz!

 

[daryl]

It's stragne. THe removing seems to have speeded up. More and more stuff is gone. When I looked an hour ago, the only stuff I saw was some stuff that was obviously not from videos and some older ones from TIB. It's hard to tell how they are deciding what they are cutting and not. I don't see the pattern.

 

[tickler_n_black]

A couple of our clips got cut yesterday and the day before so who knows the rhyme or reason. I feel though that it's actually more trouble to worry about it than its worth. Youtube (the company and internet site) doesn't impress me.

 

[daryl]

I hear what you're saying, TIB, but there's something of Fahrenheit 451 here, or the Usher story from Martian Chronicles.

Just out of curiousity, I reversed dates. They didn't seem to go back to older stuff that is still on there. It is the new stuff being added. maybe whoever is doing it will move on to a new target at some point.

 

[tricham]

Can I just say it & get it over with?

FUCK YOUTUBE!! 😡

 

[ticklefiend3000]

I'm with ya on that one

TIB I feel the same way! Though I had thought well of youtube until I asked them a question and never got an answer. In the end Google Video and Yahoo Video and megaupload.com and all that jazz, are THEIR competition, not ours, and I'm more than happy to vote with my feet (no pun intended) and take the nearly 250,000 hits my stuff got in the past 3 months elsewhere. And I'm a small timer, I dare not think how much they are gonna lose with someone like yourself.

[Cynthia_Massol]

I like YouTube for their clips sharing system,
but i admit that their "moderators" are removing too many clips...
So, a good alternative of YouTube : Google Video
