This place quieted down quite a bit.

Guess I will try and get it moving again.

So the idea many youtubers had was the following:

When Youtube has a strike ready for a channel allow them to remedy the situation. If it is a hardcore porn video... well no. give them a strike. But if you have, I don't know, a funny bit where a cucumber is being mistaken for something else in a pg-13 kind of way... say:

Dear Youtuber,

We have unpublished your video.

In your video "many uses for cucumbers" at the 4:10 - 4:22 mark there is a bit about cucumbers and it references the usage of dirty things... unclogging a pipe? entering the manhole? etc. You have the following options. Please respond in 72 hours.

- edit out this portion of the video.
- blur out this portion of the video.
- delete the video all together.

Above will avoid any possible strike against your channel.

- fight the strike.

If you lose the appeal, you will get a strike on your channel.

blah blah blha.

This is how it should be done, but probably will never be.

I agree, that seems like a sensible approach.  Let the creator edit the video in a way that can simplly bleep or delete the offending section.

YouTube seem to be targeting the wrong videos for deletion...

This one is interesting (I saw the original video and couldn't believe it was flagged by YT)
