[TehGiKz]

I Worked so Hard on My Account..And this H.A.T.E.R.(Having Anger towards everyone reaching success) flagged my videos cuz i was getting better at CoD then him..I Got my Life Account Terminated..Is their any way i can get it back!?!?

[GamesR4FITE]

This video is two years old, so I take it youtube isn't going to take any action against false flagging. ever.

[xIceBites]

my friend is getting false flagged and his videos are getting removed for no reason. he lost like 17 videos already and he can't stop it. what should he do?

[BettterSkatez]

but most of the flaggers of youtube suck because of false flagging

[BettterSkatez]

i have flagged just 1 video because of animal abuse. it made us feel guity about it. we need to help animals. but im not really a flagger though.

[BettterSkatez]

one of the top 10 anime series was flagged for no reason. it was not even a inapropriate video. i checked it.

[4thEmpireStudios]

How can I tell YouTube that my text messages were flase flagged and that I'M THE ONE BEING HARRASSED and STALKED, not the person who I replied to.

[tallyhoman911]

false flaggers or flaggers at all can go fuck themselves



[TheForeverGreatWolf]

i never flagged a video

(and i never had a reason too)

[ynnuhp1]

DAMMMM RITE MAN I HATE THAT SHIT

[FightFalseFlagging]

If you want to stop false flagging subscribe to my petition channel! Let youtube know how you feel!

[10Gr1fterbang]

don't any of you people get it by now??

others flag stuff because they are trying to sell the same item!

best bet is to grab greasemonkey spam buttons and fight back

[Betsy7Cat]

The video the annotation leads to says it's private. What happened?

[SuperDisbelief]

Do you remember...

1. When you could get on youtube without a huge ad at the top of your homepage?

2. When EVERY music video was from a user, not Vevo?

3. When you could use it as a music player without having an ad in the beginning of a music vid?

4. When copyright infringement wasn't a big deal?

5. When it was YOUtube?

Copy and paste onto videos telling youtube how PISSED we, the YOU in YOUtube, are with their greedy corporate butts.

[haosultist]

bendur come back D:

[SyslogSNMP]

u dont like to get a racist or other video's over u, so u can flagg it, if there wasn't a flagg button, there was thousand fights about video's about people talking about a other. So if u just get a life and stop crying about a flagg, youtube doesn't have to spend more then 5 minutes to youre stupid words. Reply back.

[SyslogSNMP]

u can't stop flagging. If u think it's false flagged, the other people thinks, u deserved to be flagged. So stop crying about it, because if u put 100 video's about they must stop false flagging, or flag, u get a double flagg back. Youtube get's mor commercial, and u get thousong more commands then a few years or months back. Flagged is special made for people who dont like the comments or video's. If there wasn't a flagg button, and there was a racist video over u, what to do? flagg!.

[studmuffin234able]

YOU CANT STOP THE FLAGGING AND I THINK ITS YOUTUBE DOING IT TO PHAZE OUT ALL THE SMALL CHANNELS FROM GETTING ANY ATTENTION AND MAKING SURE THAT FRED AND SHANE AND SEXYPHIL GET ALL THE VIEWS. IF YOU PUT ANY VIDEO ON YOUTUBE ON THE FRONT PAGE CONSTANTLY YOU WILL GET HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS OF SUBS AND VIEWS. youtube has been getting more and more commercial tv like over the past few years and thats why they don't care about free speech anymore or the people who made this site what it

[harkainian]

whoops... sorry neonfox.

[TheSpotlightGuy]

The only video, photo and forum site with NO limitations and NO chance of getting banned!

Spottube.webs.com

[latech1116]

Real "sportsmen" don't flag videos just because they don't the the school a youtuber represents. We all like competition. NCAA is absolutely energized and high spirited to the maximum. So be polite, be respectful of others and play fairly. The best team most of the time wins, except when having a bad game. So goes life, we win, we lose, we add up the losses, gather the forces, and we try again. Don't give up, don't ever give up. Louisiana Tech-grad 1996

[NowYouSeeTV]

I think its funny how they get offended and/or mad over the videos when no one is forcing them to watch the videos in the first place. lol

[coolkennyoptimus]

This is awesome of you trying to help out. I'm glad to be a fellow Texan along with you.

[TheEAZYste]

Im giving you 24hours to say sorry or im flagging your whole channel lulz

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

it's happening again. this time they're attacking Let's Players (people who do video game walkthroughs) hard. one of the biggest names in Let's Players, nintendocaprisun got suspended.

[harkainian]

@NeonFoxLetsPlays

Really? I get a lot of walkthroughs from that channel!

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

@harkainian you realize that comment was three months ago.

[defiythelie]

I had about 6 atheist videos I made and they got flag as inappropriate today, what the fuck can a guy do?

[FBIinvestigators]

I so agree. My other account MusicGroup2009 got falsely flagged by some religious idiot because the music "Offended him" when the song was: Lift me up-Moby.

[tesskansas]

I have question, what happens when someone does hit the "flag" icon? Is it just a one button hit? Is there a remarks section afterwards? I had no idea "flagging" would end up as a bad mark.

[TheGameLord7]

He forgot to mention, Everything is being Marked as Spam, too. Anyway, ha ha. I would've flagged this vid, just to be funny. But, with my luck,  Youtube would probably take action...

[YungMeskin]

man i been falsed flagged too... youtube suspended me for two weeks on my other accounts

[HappyMarketing]

Great video. My and a bunch of my friends got their videos and channels REMOVED AND SHUT DOWN for no good reason. We are just presenting our home based businesses and thats all.

Some jackasses got offended because they think everything is a scam.

This is fucked up. I have NEVER flagged a video on YouTube no matter how much i disagreed with the viewpoint of the user.

Just like fucking craigslist. Have a bad day? Flag a video/ad and take money out of somebodys pocket.

[AbundanceVibe]

craigslist sucks too but many people are going elsewhere and are no longer going to waste time unless the flagging system is improved. the flaggers had thier second video flagged quickly so looks like youtube is finally starting to listen.

[FatLibertarian]

CowboyTD, I just had a video flagged and removed and I have no idea why it was. I just did a video on this and what we can do. I suggest we flag all YOUTUBE HELP videos. lol, as well as other things.

[massivevideohits]

@FatLibertarian I am with you on this one

[papas716]

flagged :) lol jk

[insightnew]

I had no idea this happened in the sports community to. I do political and religious commentary and flagging is rampant there.

[lanekiffinshow]

Oh Hell yes it does! I just got "False Flagged" two weeks ago by a bunch of inbred Bama fans. All a user has to do is send out a bunch of PM's telling his butt buddies to False Flag your video and you are screwed. Maybe when Metacafe, Vimeo, and Dailymotion start taking a chunk out of Youtube's ad revenue this crap will stop. Freedom of speech people. I may not like what you say, but I support your right to say it.

[transholla]

It's catchiness of the name "Youtube" that keeps these from blowing up. In fact, had you not just mentioned them (the latter two of which I never knew existed), I wouldn't have remembered to go look to see if vids removed here hadn't been posted on Metacafe! The same thing is responsible for myspace and failbook being as big as they are: Name catchiness, and people having time limits in their lives (school, work, etc.

[undeadratchetsux]

im getting terminated soon and i fell like i wanna sue them

[Sniffydog16]

i totally agree with this. everyone has a right to free speech and their own opinions. even though some people do not agree with others about certain things

nobody has the right to get rid of a video tht truly has nothing tht bad about it.

[ClaireIsAHottie]

everyone please join the group on my page to support the stopping of false flagging! This video is sooo true!!!!!

[ClassicTVMan81]

@ClaireIsAHottie

I've joined it.

[BenderAKAUnder]

I had 3 of my videos flagged and my account got permanently suspended because of falseflaggers :/

Bunch of idiots

[BenderAKAUnder]

and I had 300 subscribers before I was suspended because of falseflaggers...

[Mariobros561997]

@BenderAKAUnder I feel for ya....... (:(

[dementedbydesign]

And it let you just make another acct? It didnt ban your ip?

[HtwnRcktsCO2]

i was joking about my other comment

[JNSBSB]

I had one of my videos flagged! The result of the flagging against one of my videos is now the video is age-restricted! Arrrrrgh!!!

[iztech101]

We need to take this to the president!

IM DEAD SERIOUS!

[TheLolerFox]

if you care enough to flag videos on youtube, you should be allowed to use the internet. unless the flagging happens to be HILARIOUS!

[bearestir]

What kind of man flags a video?

No kind of man.

[toontownlegomaster]

SOme gay fag flagged my video and i got a account warning saying that your account may be terminated and the message gets deleted in 6 months it really sucks i half to look at that every time i go on edit my channel.

[ozzymandeeous]

i find this offensive. i am flagging it immediately.

[flamexxic]

ME 2 XD

[giantsalltheway123]

done...sent them a message man. good video. this is the "black plague" if u will.

[dllscwboyz]

TD you cant stop making vids and leave that is what they want

[waitdontshoot]

I agree with you 100%. Read the Bill of Rights; First Amendment:freedom of speech.

[NintendoFanM]

flaggots

[Halen88]

Thanks for the Props TD...I hate to see YouTube not care about us, but it looks like they have cured a case of Dandruff by cutting of the head!

[swaggajee]

I'm not exactly sure how many videos I've watched but it's a lot. And I've only had to flag 1 or maybe 2 of them. That was when I kept seeing this foriegn piece of shit racist fucktard would say nothing but outrageous hate speech against Obama.

Seriously, that dude I flagged should probably be on some Secret Service watch-list if he isn't already.

So yeah, the flag feature can be usefull. But the false flagging is straight up pathetic and a major pussy move.

[headtrauma911]

flagging is for pussies

[ninerkid510]

good video.

[ThunderSooner2835]

I'm not doing it!

[WOLFENCT]

As always TD, good commentary!

[12aggie12]

I agree with you. INot just the flagging needs to stop but the low life losers who sends you a message or leaves a mean comment on your video attacking someone personally needs to stop. There's a different between talking crap about your school or whatever than talking crap about somebody personally.

[SYNDICADO]

You see that's the thing man, certain people get offended cause they cant see that this is TRASH TALK nothing PERSONAL. But in response to a society that gets all butt hurt YouTube thinks it can help "cleaning up the web" with its spam and flag option. Yet its rife with problems.

[Longhorn683]

most of this bullshit is the gpk, which we all know their weak, but their gonna end up running this TTC if we dont fix this!

[DonV310]

We the last of a dyin breed. I'm down for whatever.

[metsfn27]

flag'd

[TOinBuffalo]

Great video cowboytd ! I will send my e-mail on false flaggers.

[JayCutlerOWNSy0utube]

also.. 1 thing I don't get is that theres people on youtube that i CANT STAND.. and other people hate the same people and stuff... Does that mean we can flag people like Fred? and he can get suspended? lol ... I don't get how it all works.

[sanjacraven36]

The only video I ever flagged was from Simus1974 talking shit about Sean Taylor. Other than that, I agree with you CowboyTD

[orangeoctober33]

If you agree with cowboytd then you shouldn't have flagged a vid just because he talked shit on a vid...........I'm talking to "sanjacraven36"

[sanjacraven36]

You are missing the entire point of this video. What I did was not false flagging. Cowboytd isn't saying "Dont ever flag a video". He's saying we need to stop false flagging.

[Jerseymaan10]

Some guy flagged my video because he said i copied it from him (which i didn't, he was a pathetic loser) and my account got suspended. Made me so mad. Ugh...

[gotfiveringswedo]

i did it i told you tube it was fucking chicken shit

[baybombsmoker]

wait i thought you were a patriots fan... lol j/k STOP THE FAGISH FLAGGING

[king50ace2]

same thing, well said and great video

[gotfiveringswedo]

i dont flag its dumb

[gotfiveringswedo]

this is a good point we need to stop this fucking bull shit

[BigThizzle75]

Well said TD and great vid.

[jeremyjoemills]

just pretend like you like it, theyll stop

[texasboy040]

TD, Giving them attention will just want to make them do it more....Just my two cents.

[texasboy040]

*make them want to do it more*

[CowboyTD]

It's not going away, it has to be addressed in order for there to be a chance that youtube will change something

[quantae06]

What a long off-season.  I've flagged videos before, but it was towards racist comments said in a video.

[CRAZY544]

That would be reasonable

[EvilEmpir3]

I flagged this video, just because of how fat CowboyTD is.

[tedoldot424]

Your an asshole EvilEmpir3. Stop being a prick and get the hell off of his videos.

[EvilEmpir3]

Have a nice suckle on my asshole, you illiterate piece of shit.

It's spelled *you're. Go fuck yourself.

[RipperEagle96]

Thanks TD. I followed the link on your video and was moved to send them a piece of my mind, albeit "constructive" and "as nice as I can be".

[NWCollapse419]

flagging is BS.

[southofheaven88]

Great Vid TD, ok people lets get to work !

[goldingdl]

I signed the patestion 2 stop it. I don't like video's being flagged. I'm posting a video response 2 this later.

[Skittles658]

I agree I have seen people make fake accounts and then close them the same day. right is right and fair is fair something must be done about this.

[TuckDaBeast]

well said

[Methos1966]

Good Job TD

[baddog7676]

I don't know why Youtube/Google can't track the IP addresses of these people who open, and close, multiple accounts, each day, with no other purpose than to flag videos.

If they would just block the IP addresses of these people I think it would help the problem, immensely

[evilrubberducky1]

I know they have that ability BD... we just need to start gathering the assclowns accounts... save em to a notepad or something then send the info in the mail link Cowboys TD posted.. WE ALL NEED TO DO THAT!!!!!

[KLHENRY624]

Got'em, bro ! I've got plenty of material..I just hope Shango can put me in touch with the right person..hell, I'll fly to CALI to address this own ALL of our behalves at Google Headquarters ! You think I won't ? Watch me ! J WAD, by the way..using my wife's old account. This has got to stop ! Thanks for addressing this, TD ! FREE J WAD !!!

[Geomon19]

They can baddog they just don't care.

[Skinslvr21]

I got ahold of them about 1 or 2 weeks ago about one of my vid's getting flaged and i never said anything wrong or used any copy righted stuff they pretty much told me we dont have time for watching vid's so we let the people or utube police themselfs and then they pretty much cut me off. So only way to stop this is hope the people whos doing it fucking die in a firey crash.

[pinoykulet]

Its going on everywhere.

[baddog7676]

Solid vid as always. I saw that vid, and sent youtube a message.

Dam man, that Big Mac ad in the top right hand corner is making me hungry lol

[jdinsactown]

Good initiative.

But, it seems to me a move in inevitable. SmackCaster, BlogTV, MySpace, Vimeo....all are viable options.

[NYGIANTPRIDE]

That aside... Thanks for putting up this link. I suggested an email campaign from TTC members and this is right along with it.

I'll send an email and pass it on.

Flagger are weak. It's that simple. Hearing you talk about this TD... You're describing TRAVIS at about 6:00.

[NYGIANTPRIDE]

TRAVIS started it by flagging me.

When I complained, when Sczlep got it too... Well we were called "bitches" and told to "stop crying".

Now it's wide spread here and people are waking up.

[PowerRangers12345]

actually TD, youtube doesnt want us and our vulgar language on here. they are more interested in sponsors like burger king and disney and money. they want the content to be "G" rated and if it isnt they want it gone. but you probably already knew that. however, with that said i am going to stay on here and do my thing.

[DallasWillAlwaysSuck]

nice work. i will flood the google box

[boognish94]

CowboyTD it's the GPK, a guy called Ramalamadingdong, I got proof, I'll send you the PM. Man I hope you're right in stopping it but I'm not sure we can. YouTube doesn't watch vids or listen to vid makers

[CowboyTD]

but im hoping we can flood their mail box so we might make some kind of dent. Youtube may just blow us off, but we can at least try.

[Rhinostampedes]

yeah man it pisses me off...thats how my first account got suspended for false flagging...and i had over 2,000 subscribers

[SYNDICADO]

can you send that too me aswell amigo?

[boognish94]

sure thing SYNDICADO,

[zekesmith]

It's 4Chan and /b/. You can't stop the Anons, sorry dude.
