Glosslip: With Enough Money, You Can Circumvent YT's TOS...
glosslip.com — "With Enough Money, You Can Circumvent YouTube ’s TOS On Banned Accounts". About ten days ago, Mark Bunker of XenuTV had his YouTube Xenutv1 account suspended because he violated the TOS agreement by creating another account after his first account had been banned for copyright infringement. The YouTube TOS was invoked and Mark’s account has...

A good message to send (remember to edit it a bit so it is individual)
Hello,
I am enquiring about your new Account Restoration Fee.
It seems you’ve allowed ChurchofScientology to keep their account even though their secondary AnonymousFacts account was suspended from your service.
A spokesperson for the Church of Scientology states here that they are responsible for the AnonymousFacts account: http://www.nypost.com/seven/03152008/gossip/pagesi ...
Ryan Benno from Valencia, Calif., is shown, as well as Jonathan Brown from Tarzana, Calif., who is making a goofy face in his photo, and Sean Carasov from Los Angeles. None of the men in the videos could be reached for comment.
A spokesperson for the Church of Scientology said, “We absolutely made the videos.”
“We have researchers that have found these men. When you get death threats and bomb threats directly going after the church, we don’t take it lightly.”
From your own ToS agreement:
When a user has posting privileges temporarily disabled on one account, for the duration of the suspension that user is also prohibited from posting material to YouTube using any other account. Attempts to circumvent this rule may result in immediate termination without warning of all accounts.
A user whose account has been terminated is prohibited from accessing, possessing or creating any other YouTube accounts.
I would like to help others get accounts restored, but I’d like to know how much you charge for service re-instatement. I am interested in knowing which ToS violations committed on your servers by users are easily excused by the writing of a cheque.
a) How much is your new “Account Restoration Fee”?
b) Does this new policy apply to individuals or to businesses only?
c) Are all infractions wiped clean with payment, or only specific ones (such as harassment and bullying)?
d) Are payments a flat fee, or are they to be sustained daily/weekly/monthly for the existence of the fee-paying account?
I look forward to your prompt reply.
Thank you for your time, - crystalblue69, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2blatant hypocrisy in mah youtubes?
it's more likely than you think. - pang5, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1Thanks for the template, mcnebula.
Adapted, signed and sent.
*crossing fingers* - londonroad, on 05/04/2008, -0/+2Scientology is gay
- grinningsadist, on 05/04/2008, -0/+2Double-standard cashwhore YouTube is double-standard cashwhore.
REINSTATE XENUTV1. The fact that Cult Of $cientology has individual members open YT accounts is irrelevant - the accounts are for the same purpose, mandated by the same corporate cult. REINSTATE XENUTV1.
