8/5/2025 YouTube appeal rejected

As was to be expected, YouTube rejected the appeal, meaning this issue has been escalated & warrants another full publication of re-victimization of YouTube, the dangers of using YouTube when using their service to upload evidence videos for in-game griefing reports & another full block of YouTube over my network for the duration of the penalties incurred as a result of YouTube's support in manipulation of their service agreement.

The article will be published to my personal site in the next few days, at which point I will provide a link to it in this post.  It will continue to be updated as the issue continues.  Given it's likely the Steam trolls are behind it, they probably see this as a success & will probably attempt to continue pushing the matter to attempt to get a full channel deactivation (hopefully YouTube is smart enough to not let that happen, but based on experience in their support in these attacks, I wouldn't be surprised if they allowed it to happen.

YouTube will again be fully blocked over my network until the penalties incurred as a result of this support of the attack have expired (as was the case last time it happened), meaning not only my own devices won't be able to access it, but any other visitors that may attempt to access it while connected to my wifi.  I noticed in the past that this broke thumbnails on my Shield TV devices, but I'm willing to accept that busted function if it stops them from gaining revenue while the penalties from a re-victimization strike stay in place.

Timeline of events since last blog post

1. Alert noticed on my phone after moving some furniture around outside (getting ready for delivery):
   
   
2. After I started taking screenshots to document the followup & get ready for the new review of YouTube on my personal site, I got the email stating the appeal had been rejected:
   
   
   open in new tab to make readable
   
3. This new blog entry was published, in addition to the new post on my YouTube channel (linking to this post).
4. I was expecting I would have to go through the re-victimization training again, but when I expected the notice stating the appeal was rejected, this is what I saw:
   
   
   
   It appears YouTube is not giving an option to do the training again, which puts in question as to whether the re-victimization penalties actually will drop off in 90 days...

From what I've seen, YouTube keeps allowing this to happen on videos from almost a decade ago (videos they did nothing about back when they first published, if you are going by what they claim are their current standards), so what's to stop them from allowing it to continue happening & result in a full channel termination???  This is only happening now because of mass-attacks from the Steam troll community, something YouTube staff is turning a blind eye to...

What I do know is if it gets to the point of a full account deactivation, Google will be looking at legal action & a hefty lawsuit for damages incurred as a result of their compliance in supporting the internet stalking & harassment efforts by Steam trolls, likely with a number of subpoenas being issued for the identities of those that were filing the reports (not just to YouTube/Google, but also to Steam).  I have backups of almost all videos on YouTube, so they can be transferred to another site that doesn't bend to the will of internet stalkers.

This post will be updated to include a link to the new article published on my personal site once published.  At that point, all updates regarding the ongoing strike will be made on WonderGamer.net until (or perhaps, if) the penalties drop.  I'm sure there's plenty of other videos on my channel those stalkers are going to continue targeting, it won't matter if I shut down channel down myself or YouTube staff decides to bend to their will & do what they are attempting to get them to do, experience shows it's going to continue getting attacked indefinitely (even if it is older content that YouTube never even bothered to look at before), seems it will be shut down sooner or later, then I will need to take legal action against both Google & Steam for not doing anything to put a stop to it (or just outright supporting their actions).

There is another interesting detail regarding these attacks that actually benefited my personal site, however this is something that is going to be held for the new article on that site.  It's obvious the efforts were to make the site disappear, but that obviously backfired; what actually happened will be detailed in the new article.

UPDATE:  The new article about this situation can be found here, in addition to a short starter statement on the home page of the site.
