Another YouTube strike, 2-year high-alert status once again reset

Another strike has been applied to my YouTube channel, this time targeting one of the evidence videos I used in racist harassment in Evolve Stage 2.  While there is a high likelihood this was another attacks from the Steam troll community (starting in 2023), I'm leaving my mindset open that maybe this was somebody who saw the video & didn't notice who was actually making the statement, thinking it was me saying it (although why they would think I would upload a video of me saying it is beyond me).

This video was originally uploaded to make a ToS violation report to the developers of the game & to Steam (although I was unable to track their Steam profile when I filed the report, otherwise I would have documented the permanent Steam ID of their profile & had it linked over from my personal site).

As with the last strike against my YouTube channel, I am attempting to appeal the decision before going through revictimization training again...  Either way, there will still be a new article published to my personal site about this instance of mismanagement on YouTube's part, but could be a lot smaller & a lot less damning against YouTube if they do the right thing and (at the very least) reverse the strike against the channel.  If they don't...well just look at the other reviews on WonderGamer.net about YouTube & you'll get an idea of just how large those reviews can get...

Timeline of this strike
(screenshots & additional details)

1. First notification of this video being removed & a strike being issued came through the YT Studio app on my phone (no screenshot).  I was not able to load the app from the notification (app stalled), having to be closed & reopened, then located manually.
2. I attempted to start documenting this issue on my new Windows 10 PC, however given my Windows 7 PC is still my primary PC for online publications (particularly my personal site), I shut off the Windows 10 PC (putting my plans on hold until I could get the appeal filed & this entire situation documented, making sure to keep records for the publication to my personal site) & am focusing on these new publications until a decision is made by their management on the appeal.
3. Screenshot was taken of the notification on the Homescreen of my Channel dashboard:
   
4. After manually locating the video in my Channel content, I took a screenshot to show not only the deleted video, but also the fact that it was originally age-restricted due to the content of the video, as well as YouTube's reason for it's removal:
   
   
5. I copied the thumbnail from the Twitch version, which shows the speaker next to the name of the person that was making the statement when the recording was made (originally exported from the video itself):
   
   
6. I took a screenshot of the appeal process prior to submitting it:
   
   
7. I finalled the appeal reason (after several attempts of getting a half-way decent statement that would fit withing the 800 character limititation).  While I wanted to put more details into this appeal, the shortened version (to fit it into the character restriction) was as follows):
   
   This video was originally uploaded to be used in a report of racism to Steam & Evolve Stage 2, as well as showing that I wouldn't play with toxic people like this.  The game has since been shut down, so I'm fine with the video being deleted, it was only left up to show the mindset of the person making the statement (shown by the speaker next to their name in the video when the comment was being stated).  Seeing as a strike is being placed on my account in response to documentation of actions by another user for reporting purposes, I need to appeal at least the strike.  Provided the strike is removed (and considering there is no way to track the profile of the person who did it), I am willing to delete the video from YouTube myself, if not just left deleted after the strike is removed.
   
8. I received an email as I was getting this blog entry ready to be published.  The email was the one that stated the that video had been removed (so either I was late in receiving it or they were late in sending it, as I was working on the publication of this issue as soon as I saw the alert from the YT Studio app on my phone), not the appeal being filed as I was hoping (or a decision being made on the appeal).  A screenshot was taken of the email for documentation of their official contact (even if the contact was late):

9. Before going back to writing this blog entry, I took a screenshot of the screenshot shwoing that the appeal had been filed:
   
   
10. I held off on completing this blog entry & wrote a quick entry to my YouTube channel's Posts section to inform followers about the strike on the channel (which ultimately means the channel will be going dormant until the strike disappears).
11. After getting the quick summary completed on this post published (prior to uploading screenshots & started the Timeline of this strike section), I went back to the YouTube posts & updated it with a link to this post.
12. The final step in this (so far, although additional steps will likely be put into a new blog post, a new YouTube review being published to my personal site still being certain, but the result of the publication will depend on YouTube's response to the appeal) was to get the extended info section posts with screenshots and additional details that were provided in the appeal.
    

For now, I am putting this issue to rest & will try to focus on other matters (perhaps do a stream on Twitch & discuss this issue if anybody attempts to speak in the livestream chat; guess it's time to hook up my mic to my Win10 PC, even if I still don't have a webcam on it) until I get a response to the appeal.  Should the appeal succeed, the videos will likely be personally deleted (if not just set to private; note that only one has been flagged so far).  In any case, I will be setting the remaining videos to private (I would set them to unlisted, but considering they are linked off of my Steam profile & it's likely this was an attack from the Steam troll community, who was also at fault for the last attack doing the exact same thing), as well as the Evolve Wall of Shame playlist.  As previously stated, these videos are also linked off of my Steam profile, so I will be updating those video descriptions with details about this strike, as well as the current state of where it's at (ultimately those videos will be removed from my Steam profile if the appeal succeeds, but will remain with additional details added to the description if it fails, even if the videos are not playable due to being set to private).
